That is the MSNBC story on the 15 teen deaths int he last 15 months in Tazwell county. Please notice that 2 of these deaths are due to diseases, 1 to a tractor accident, 2 to adirt bike accident, most related to alcahol. 0 related to street racing, 0 occured at the spot, 0 of the people hung out at the spot. Yes police in general have been cracking down, i myself have been ticketed twice for vehicle violations. Does this mean we should all demod our cars and stay in the house? Not if you ask me. We can still have our cars and hang out... thats what the spot is about, hanging out and bsing baout cars. I frequent the spot and have raced 0 times and have been harassed for not racing 0 times, been ticketed 0 times. If i recall correctly ( i have been wrong before) teh DSM drivers ticketed for racing near the spot were racing.. the police just said they were racing the wrong cars. If you race you run the risk of getting ticketed. This can happen anywhere. I have seen more races at the spot than anywhere else and have only seen the flashing lights 1 time. Thats pretty good odds if you ask me. The police do roll throught the spot frequently and i have NEVER seen them give anybody a problem. All i'm saying is the spot is a good car hang out and if you add up the numbers... much of the negative talk about the spot is exagerated and coming form a source that has unfortunately had a negative experience at the spot... Thank you for reading
