The other side of me....

Sorry for your loss Dreamz....it is never an easy time in ones life when a loss such as this happens.....Remember that the pain will go away, but the great memories will always exist.

 

Very sorry to hear Dreamz.

 

yeah man sorry.

 

so does this mean you are done street racing now? I have always discouraged any form of street racing.. because of this sort of thing. Always keep it on the track if you are going to race.

 

you and matt will be in my thoughts and prayers i have been there and just know you have our support.

 

Sorry to hear that Dreamz, it's a dangerous sport, **** will happen. Not to mention the cops and insurance rates. Hope you do well.

 

well Dream, in a situation like this.. perhaps this is the chance you needed to rid yourself of this addiction. In my opinion, your best course of action would be to just tell the judge exactly what happened.. how you feel about it.. and what you have learned from this. Perhaps the judge will be able to reduce a sentence seeing as you are quite changed from the experience. Although, you may have to spend some time in jail. You can get out early for good behavior and such. Plus it would give you time to really think things over about what you really want to do. Although it is sad that your friend had to die.. maybe he did so you wouldn't have to.

On a side note, people that really love races and such. Just go to the strip. The drag strip is a great place to watch and participate in races if you enjoy that sort of thing. There is no reason at all to street race. Every strip has tuning nights when you can take your car, truck, motorcycle, 4 -wheeler, motorhome, whatever you want out there and drag it. You can even drag against friends. Want to drag for cash? sure do it at the track and exchange the money after the race. Plus there is a sure winner with no dispute over who finished first of if someone jumped the line I mean come on. IF there is no strip near you and you are so into racing that you have to race.. move to a place where there is one. Since it's seem to be such a big part of your life perhaps its best just to be as close to one as you can so you can go there every night if you want. Street racing doesn't just kill the racers.. it kills the spectators.. and it kills the uninvolved driver going home from work only the be T-boned by a street racer. Street racing is just as irresponsable as drunk driving but even worse because you are making the willing choice to do so without any influence from alcohol.

We have all made mistakes.. we all have our issues. We just need to learn from them. Understand them. With that knowledge you can become a most stronger individual. It is our own fault we make these choices but we can be better people by learning and moving on. I have made mine.. I can only blame myself for them.. but I moved on.. and won't make those same mistakes again. There are even times when it is no ones fault.. no one to blame.. but it all happens for a reason. Figure out what the reason is and you are in better shape than most.

 

Dreamz, dave is right again. I'm very sorry for your loss and you and Matt will be in my prayers. Its just very sad that your best friend had to die at such a young age, god does have his reasons for everything and in my opinion it's a wake up call for you and your other street racing friends to finally stop. Nothing else would have never made you even think to quit street racing. I do know how hard it is to lose a good friend but you will get over it in time. Just don't let Matts death be in vein, just quit the illegal street racing and stick to the track in the future. I know that if matt could say anything to you now, thats what he would probably say.

 

I don't think you should quit the track but I agree you shouldn't street race. The track is the best place to race.

 

Dreams...sorry to hear.

losing family and friends do suck...I love my grandpa last November. I thought the pain wouldn't go away but after some time...I'm fine with it now.

 

it was the worst night ever, i told him this day would come...the funeral is today at 12, so im gettin ready to go...Matt was a good kid, smart as hell to...now lets just make this a lesson to all of you, when you street race, the consiquences will be met, a good kid like Matt didnt deserve to die, he never got into any trouble as for Randall aka Dreamz he was always doing stupid stuff growing up and getting into trouble, but that night at the accident and thru the rest of the week now, he wouldnt even put gas in the car or work on his Fiances car because it wouldnt start he sat on the couch all week, ive never seen him like this, he hasnt said a word, hasnt talked at all since that nite, now after his funeral today he will go to court and on trial he will be

 

well i just got back from the court house and funeral, Randall made a really good and long speech, and then from there we went to the court house and he went on trial and pleaded guilty but wasnt a bad sentence, he gets 8 weeks of jail and after he is out he has to do 30 hours of community service, the sentence was so lite because they felt sorry, told the truth and didnt run the night of the accident, so..

 

One of lifes lessons is happening tohim right now. Tell Dreamz that I Know he feels like he is being kicked when he is down, but truth be told, this will make him a stronger and better person in the long run.

8 weeks aint too long. Tell him to hang in there and play the game. He will be out of that place before he knows it. It wont be easy for him, but Dreamz will tuff it out I am sure.

Let him know that we are all looking forward to hearing from him again soon!!!!

 

hell my cousin was in the house for a year

 

Tell Dreamz to take good care. 8 weeks is a hell of a lot better than 6 months, hopefully it will give him the time he needs to pull through how he's feeling right now.

 

give him my best.hopefuly he's not in with the real dangerous guys
