Totally agree on all points you have made...I just wonder on the point of deciding to ride with friends that drag, is that their choice? Sometimes, yes, other times..... I know as a teenager, (which was forever ago) I was in a situation that the driver decided what would happen and didn't give the passengers a choice. Luckily for me I lived thru it. I totally agree that closing down the strips and taking away any option that kids have leaves them on their own to race in dangerous situations, and in some cases that is part of the thrill and they wouldn't go to the track if there was one accessible anyways. There really is no solution, but I hate to think that one of my kids are going to be one of the statistics because of someone elses stupidity...
