You fine ;) ❤

Street racing killed two children who were walking down a residential road in my area of town last year. You guys and gals wanna have your fun, please do it the right way and race legal.

[@rashaddow]

Houston track just got shutdown so

[@chrisrodriguez388]

@@rashaddow but that makes it ok to race on the streets because?…

[@rashaddow]

@@chrisrodriguez388 because there is no place to go and should be. Street racing..actual racing late at night on a dead end street or lone street away from the public is not a danger to anyone but the racer. Drunk drivers are more deadlier and kill 100,000s every year. Thats not ok either.

[@chrisrodriguez388]

@@rashaddow So because there are no race tracks that ales it ok to race on streets? Looking for the logic in that.

[@iamthewallrus]

@@chrisrodriguez388The argument is always “take it to the track” Well tracks across the country are dying because years ago they were built in the middle of nowhere as to not disturb the public. Now developers are putting neighborhoods right next to these tracks, people move in and then complain about the noise… track gets shut down. Look I’m not saying it’s right. But I grew up around cars and car people and telling them not to race goes over about as well as telling people to turn in their guns. It’s just not going to happen. If tracks become less accessible, people will take it to the streets, it’s just how it is. FWIW I no longer participate in such activities, and kept the fast toys in the garage during TX2K because I didn’t want to even look like I was associated.

[@TexasPapa13]

Tx2k doesn’t race on side streets. Freeway only. I’ve never seen any one doing or selling drugs at 2k 😂.

[@Sassquatch713]

Same

[@DoobieDeb]

Need to call in national security or army in for that city 😂😂

[@fasthighwaydriver59732]

The young soldiers and young guys from national guard will turn all those guns against local government believe me. I know a lot of guys from army and national guard they are car enthusiasts and drive fast cars

[@BG-qx2st]

They took away the only legal raceway and now we see an increase in illegal street racing imagine that

[@blackout07blue]

Bunch of losers anyway

[@Captsmackdown]

The car leaves burnt rubber on the entrance of a pedestrian entrance to JC Pemny...it will cost anywhere between 375..to 1200 to restore the concrete whare the burden rubber left by the driver. Who's gonna pay for that.....

[@rashaddow]

Houston track just shutdown permanently. Hold on to your hats because street racing just got a raise.

[@eddiereyna2998]

So I’d like to know if TXDOT and any Feds are involved in making arrest and citations to these folks? If New York City can have over 35,000 LEOS , then Texas is lacking in representation of our tax dollars.

[@jamaalrudolph-qj1gn]

And we need some emergency investigating on that adress to save life

[@NorthsideWhipz]

People are getting shot and dying and y’all are worrying about car meets💀💀

[@blackout07blue]

Those people racing and peeling out are a bunch of losers.

[@fasthighwaydriver59732]

😂😂

[@fasthighwaydriver59732]

they are not journalists. Real journalists show both sides

[@texasrob8083]

Ban all assault cars and all high performance parts.😂

[@leann4925]

As a resident of Harris county this is the reason I fear getting on the freeways as well as some streets. Lives have been lost due to this type of conduct. Those that seem to think this is ok haven't lost a loved one. Instead of doing community service of which would be a noble thing to do they are out to destroy mankind of which is selfish.

[@michellereilly979]

who raised this generation? A generation that didnt know true struggles.

[@eddiereyna2998]

The Japanese tag the vehicles with a chemical dye . I’m sure of the military got involved with helicopters and drones , well Rambo could shoot a LAW out of one . My son was clipped here in San Antonio the past weekend and he was just headed home .

[@michellereilly979]

doing donuts is not the same as street racing. Racing takes skill, show some respect😂

[@happyrootsfamily1276]

We need to start holding our race events in non southern states

[@michellereilly979]

or just dont get caught😂

[@happyrootsfamily1276]

@Michelle Reilly ne a lot easier to just avoid southern states all together nothing but weird accents and goofy in the souf

[@DoobieDeb]

Where do theses kids get there money is the QUESTION

[@michellereilly979]

​@Goat 😂 jobs at that age dont buy $30k sports cars with aftermarket mods😂

[@fasthighwaydriver59732]

​@@michellereilly979 I have many car enthusiast friends they work at jobs getting paid $40-50 an hour and some of my buddies have their own auto shop companies fixing cars making 1000 bucks a day, also I have some friends they have their own towing company but they do not tow cars when the pigs ask. Grow up Michelle i know more then you

[@fasthighwaydriver59732]

It's called jobs paying $40-50 an hour or having your own business company like the towing company or auto shop company 😅

[@fasthighwaydriver59732]

I am Ukrainian immigrant and i live by my own since age of 18 had 3 cars before but sold 1 of the cars. If some kids live with their papa and mama doesn't mean others guys will be living with their parents. I left my parents house after high school because didn't wanted them to tell me how I should live my own life

[@NOLA_playmaker]

I've never seen one

[@mattmendez9538]

Y'all messing with the houston culture

[@justtoya6945]

Just terrible! Very dangerous. All of those nuts need to put there money together and buy some land . Street race there.

[@massdistractions]

If their cars were seized and sold at auction when caught doing these stupid stunts it would at least reduce them to foot racing for a while.

[@TheWorldIsYours1804]

WORRIED ABOUT STREET RACING BUT NOT REAL CRIMES ROBBERIES, MURDERS , HOME INVASIONS AND SERIOUS CRIMES SMFH

[@chrisrodriguez388]

Yes, because reckless driving isn’t a crime in itself right? Not the brightest bulb in the box, eh?

[@HAHAWTFOMG]

DUDE I'VE BEEN ON THE RACING SCENE SINCE THE 80's.....this Takeover on public street are a bunch of IDIOTS doing donuts im the intersection. FIRST, you are endangering others, SECOND you are blocking others, THIRD DOING DONUTS IS FOR FAGGOTZ.

[@randychristian7642]

so much for a Free Country

[@loganreese6626]

You right they should be allowed to cause recks and kill kids in the process

[@chrisrodriguez388]

Racing and doing stupid sh*t such as shutting down a streets preventing people from going home because said stupid drivers want to do donuts is justifiable in your perspective? You’re a special kind of stupid, eh potato?

[@michellereilly979]

Free doesnt mean lack of laws and consequences. Nothing in life is free

[@randychristian7642]

need to cut the cops Budget this is more a money making deal

[@chrisrodriguez388]

Need to cut your budget this is more of a daft making deal

[@fasthighwaydriver59732]
