Default a tale from the Perth roads

Hi guys.

Sorry to get up on my high horse. To keep it short and sweet.....

A few days ago in Perth two young guys dragging each other in their Commodores cleaned up a middle aged gentleman driving his Falcon. The Falcon driver died at the scene, leaving his family and friends obviously shattered. The other drivers will probably be charged. So many lifes will be affected from this act of plain stupidity, most for ever.

Please consider this when you're out on the road. It's not a dig at Commodore or fellow Falcon owners but if you want to do things like this on the road, come down to the Motorplex and do it in front of an audience in a safe environment.

Cheers

Ian

it is plain stupid, however most people involved in street racing don't think of possible consequences. I'd hate to be in one of the commodore driver's shoes right now though, imagine having that on your conscience for the rest of your life, that your stupidity and ignorance caused the loss of another human life.
