Norton is an amazing actor. Just watched primal fear last night.

Actually, the real underground racers have jet propelled engines, that produce thousands of horsepower.








































I really have no idea

I know of a few people that have raced for a couple hundred, but for the most part where I live there are just dumb kids reving at stop lights to see who has the loudest mellon-shooter.

Of course there are people that race for money, but I think that happens in areas with high densities of imports obviously, i.e. SoCal. There was actually a show on MTV True Life called "I'm a Street Racer" and it showed the guy in his Honda running for cash.
