Death Race 2000, Peoria style
I was reading the Journal Star online and found Phil Luciano’s column to hit home being as we deal with our own middle of the road walking morons daily. Then I thought of a solution that will take care of the issue. Has anyone seen the movie Death Race 2000? I think we need to have our own “Death Race” through the streets of Peoria. We can have our own point system, a race course that changes daily, trophies, endorsement, etc. It would spur tourism and we could possibly get a deal with ESPN to have them televise our “races”. Think of all the tax revenue that could be coming in. And more importantly it would get these kids, who are equivilant to anal gangrene, out of the streets permanently. I see it as win-win.

If they were going run somebody over with a car at the assembly to make a point, I could support it. But since they won’t, it is just another weak, feel-good waste of time by our government schools.

Deathrace 2000: “In The Year 2000 Hit And Run Driving Is No Longer A Felony. It’s The National Sport!” Wow. Great tagline. I’ll have to order the film on NetFlix. As one commentator on IMdB said, “Action, dark comedy, political satire, SciFi, romance …. racing …it’s all here.”
AntiPundit’s got nothing on your extreme proposals!

I’m going to fill the front fenders and bumper with cement. Is that allowed?

I love Phil Luciano. I had read that column and thought that it was great!

I personally want to put the front of a combine on my vehicle before the race but I also like the fender and bumper full of cement.
Also, anal gangrene does exist. My next door neighbor works at OSF and told me about it.

“As the cars roar into Pennsylvania, the cradle of liberty, it seems apparent that our citizens are staying off the streets, which may make scoring particularly difficult, even with this year’s rule changes. To recap those revisions: women are still worth 10 points more than men in all age brackets, but teenagers now rack up 40 points, and toddlers under 12 now rate a big 70 points. The big score: anyone, any sex, over 75 years old has been upped to 100 points.”
