Wonder how many farmers have had to repair their fences because others wanted their thrills but lost control and took the fence out then scurried away like the irresistible dicks they are... Yes they have their fun but when things go bad it seems other people pay always pay.
That their MO, and why they do their **** on the streets, cause it costs them nothing and their car is covered. They are also covered for personal injury if they fcuk themselves up so get a payout. None of which happens on a pad or track which costs them $ for the privilege
Every single one of them know they are doing the wrong thing, else they wouldn't scurry away like rats leaving a sinking ship when the police arrive on mass at one of their industrial estate events
As for parties, may be the parties we go to are different. Having a bunch of blokes lining up along a fence to see who can pee highest over the it and into the neighbour yard isn’t someth8ng I’d consider fun and I see doing burnouts in much the same light
But we (at least I can) agree to disagree.
I lost one fence to a young bloke who took mine out. I went and helped him pull the car out the ditch , told him I had no livestock in that paddock ATM.
He was to return with 3 unbent star pickets and the smallest amount of ring lock the feed store sold on the Saturday. I'd lend him my picket driver and strainers.
Took a photo of his license and told him if I didn't see him to fix my fence Saturday I'd fix my fence and he could fix his fence. He came and fixed my fence
If police actually come and do there job when a car accident is reported insurance companies won't be paying out there policy. They'd also be charging them with at least careless driving if they won't admit to skids or have a valid reason for the incident.
Drink driving kills more people and causes a lot more injuries then skids. When we had drift prac every week here anyone that was talked in to coming and trying it practically stopped street skidding.
You were looking at 2.5 K in fines and impoundment fees and a minimum of no license for six months which makes it difficult to work.
They all wised up and said why risk my job for six months and 2.5k because I'm not patient enough to wait til Friday's and pay my $80.
Whoop ass Wednesday here and hoon laws has cut down street racing ten fold compared to 10-15 years ago.
Even when I was still fairly in the loop I stopped hearing of any cash for grabs in Perth.
Most of the car clubs started doing cruises to the drags or drift prac and had stringent rules of anyone misbehaved off track you don't get asked back.
Burnouts , ehh not so much for me. Drifting , yes they're a sport. People are going to want to do it regardless of whether it's legal or not. Controlled situations are ten times better for everyone.
We've got ice skating rinks , velodromes , football fields , cricket fields , shooting ranges and plenty of other sporting facilities.
Entry fee , car safety inspection and a breathalyser and a training course you must pass before going ape **** is a good idea. Just wish we had more then one place to do it in Perth.
