RACE car drivers Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup have called on hoons to stay off the streets, saying high-speed driving belongs on the racetrack.
Both drivers have backed The Advertiser 's Take 5 campaign, which calls on people to take five seconds to think about how they will arrive safely at their destination.
Speaking at a ceremonial blessing of Team Vodafone's new Holden V8 Supercar yesterday, the champion drivers said they were aware of the YouTube video showing a car doing burnouts on Rundle St last Friday night before allegedly fleeing from an unmarked police car.
"Looking at the paper this morning, obviously seeing what was happening down Rundle St - that's just stupidity," Lowndes said.
"You're not only endangering yourself, but other people.
"If you're going to burn your rubber up, you're wasting your own money anyway with tyres. But don't do it on the streets.
"I don't want to be driving down the street with my kids in the car knowing there is an oncoming car doing twice the speed limit swerving all over the road.
"It's very scary watching people out on the roads."
Lowndes said all drivers needed to take more time to prepare before getting behind the wheel.
"One of the biggest problems is that people don't allow enough time in their journey," he said.
"People are always anxious about getting somewhere faster and that's something you have to plan for.
"You've got to plan for your trip - as well as taking five to think about your trip - you need to make sure you've got enough time to get from A to B."
Whincup said he and Lowndes were passionate about road safety and would do what they could to encourage hoons to stay off the streets.
"There are racetracks, there are suitable places to enjoy your car - certainly not on the street where my friends and family are heading the other way," he said.
"The road toll and road safety is an issue everywhere, but it's a big issue here in Adelaide.
"We do need to do something about it and part of Craig's and my job as professional racing car drivers is we're passionate about driving and we want to try and improve things as much as we can.
"The thing is, though, you end up setting up schemes to compensate for people just not showing common sense.
"If you show a bit of common sense, then you won't have a problem.
"But some people have issues with that."

Maybe if there was an appropriate place to do it in the first place????
