Nitrous? Parachute? Wheelie Bars? You Might Be A Street Racer If...
While at the Canadian International Auto Show, I ran across this pamphlet on street racing at the Toronto Police booth. It appears to be written by CAA. I couldn't keep from laughing once I got to the section about how to recognize a street racer.
FYI, 24 deaths in the past 4 years from street racing may seem like a lot, but keep in mind that every year, 142 men in Canada die by homicide, by cutting/piercing instrument. 74 men each year die from surgical/medical misadventure and another 61 each year are killed by fatal gun accidents.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. Every Friday in London there are illegal street races where you see nothing but engine super and turbo chargers, parachutes, and wheelie bars. 
You're all crazy to think it's not true...

so since when is having a roll cage a bad thing? i understand that a chance of someone racing with a rollcage are higher, but that doesn't mean it will be on the streets lol.
thats like saying if you have an airbag you will streetrace :/
I'm building an fb that will be used as my summer dd and track day car, it already has a roll cage, so do that mean if i get into an accident i will automaticaly be labeled as a street racer?
400hp+ with NOS, does that apply to our engines?:P
i also have never seen a single street racer with a parachute or a wheelie bar. They have no place on the street, especialy on montreal roads.
i think chances of a riced out car getting into streetracing are higher then the performanced enhanced cars they are talking about.
if i had the money to get everything on their list, why wouldn't i just take the car to the track?

don't forget the racing pedals. they make the nitrous open the parachute faster!!
If i was a parent and saw this i'd laugh at the CAA right then and there. tell them to get their facts straight before unloading their BS on the masses.

as for the chances of SEEING the cars they describe street race, it is way more likely to see your average high schooler race his grandma's Buick.

Dude was hauling *** on the 400 southbound. Caught doing 250. Is that a new record? I don't remember anyone getting caught going faster.
