How do you get them to take their racing from the street to the track if the first time they show-up at the track tect says "No Go". ???

I'm all about my safety , but it is "Grudge Racing" if I don't feel safe racing someone I don't have to line up next to them. That is what makes getting these racers to the track rather than them doing it on a public street where you don't have that choice.

Let'em race , At least till you have a legit reason not to.

Not kidding at all. Nothing I drove at almost every midnight from 94-99 would pass current tech and I survived. The theory behind midnight grudge racing is to get people off the streets, because racing any kind of car in any kind of condition is a heck of a lot safer on a track then on a public road.

But heck, I don't worry about being struck by lightening or being killed by a tornado, so maybe that makes me a fool. Roughly 450 people die in the US every year due to falling from their bed, but I haven't put a seat belt on mine yet. I also know I'm way more likely to meet an early demise because of too many cheese burgers then over racing some kid in a 10 second jalopy. I'd also expect anyone racing to understand they are taking a risk and weigh that accordingly, and if they don't understand racing is a risk they should be culled from the gene pool anyway.

This weekend its on!!!!!
