racing requires lexan windows
street racing requires idiots

dont street race and get lexan windows, then compete in real races.

or maybe their head hitting the glass from an accident... or a rock...

if they cracked the windshield from stress from racing...they would have to have a motor powerful enough to twist the car... i doubt its from racing. i personally have never heard of anything like that from a honda.

*edit* don't buy the car if they admit to racing it... its called a beat car find a crx from an old lady on http://www.autotrader.com

whats up with all the street racing haters for some its just like a pastime for some and for others its all about the money just as if they were in vegas blowing money on bets, but i do agree to a certain point. see where im from there is not much traffic and everyone goes to bed at the same time except for the few of us that are just crzy at night but from what i have seen in those videos of street racing some of those fkn idiots do not even begin to think they have a licence

people die at the track because they are racing cars, which is inherently dangerous

people who usually die in street racing are in the cars driving home from the corner store that get t-boned at 70 mph
