it becomes no fun when you stop racing for fun, dont race for recognition or money, just race because its what you like to do

if you dont like the bickering, namecalling, etc, that comes with the street racing scene then stop, take it to the track, go with friends, and take it back to where it all came from, if then you dont love racing i say give up....but giving up b/c youre sick of the way other people act or what youve become is just stupid, you will miss it in the end and come back to it anyway....take it back to simplicity

x2,x3,x4,x5,x6. i completely agree with ya evil. but in all honesty jason if this is what you want to do then do it and stay by ur word. i have had about 15 friends say that they were "done" and 6 months later calling me asking when the next track day is. g/l on your decision............. its hard to get out the game.

[Jason..]

Evil goat i do agree w youabout the money thing.It seemed to start going down hill when all I wanted to do is race for money.I had no fun anymore.Hate m if you want to its just how i feel.

I know you will have fun, but to make a thread about retiring is so 2.3 evo of you :D

Have fun drifting and of course feel free to still be part of this section

I'll take that as a compliment Tiger. It's called growing up and eventually, everybody does it. Some things in life are more important than spending every $ you make on going faster and racing every weekend.

Don't get me wrong, I still like to have a little spirited driving every now and then and I'm sure Jason will do the same. It's in our blood.

You're right though Jason, it becomes more of a "I need to be faster than him" attitude and thats what gets you burnt out and it consumes you. Going faster becomes more important than anything else.

[TIGERJC]

Its ok and good for you if you have more priorities and/or just don't think it is worth it anymore. I am just saying to make a thread is like you. You started the whole I am leaving thing

Yep, I'm the first person to ever stop street racing every weekend. I started a trend. :rolleyes:

Sucks that someone like you has ruined the killsforum. I guess thats why people are moving to another site so they don't have to put up with you anymore. You have such a fan club. The Admin did a great job picking you buddy. Way to run people off!

*Dislcaimer, My car is slow as hell

My friends give me shit write now because I am seeing what I can get out of a 1995 Miata all motor. I get called a dumbass for not turboing. For me its about the process of slowly making the car faster. I'll run in a few weeks and shooting for 15.8, and then do somthing else and shoot for 15.5 and just slowly get the car quicker. My goal is 140 whp all motor and low 15s. Yeah, not impressive but I do it for the process. You should enjoying doing drag for the process, not for the car running beside you.(or in my case in front of me)

thats because it is dumb not to turbo it, and you can do a diy turbo set sooooo cheap for your car.

oh and to the op ive heard people say that before, the one way to truely stop racing is get a stupidly slow car.

Buy my car, it's all done and ready for teh drift!!!!!

[CHADbee]

it happens dude, ive been over it for awhile. the scene isnt like it used to be. the good days were BP and dig runs on 985 at 4AM. theres no point in it anymore, its too dangerous and not worth it. ATL's "street scene" fuckin sucks now. I have had too many tickets, paid too many fines, been to jail, had my car impounded, almost killed myself and have had a good friend die over acting stupid in a car on the street. one day something happens and you wake up and go fuck this. what you do from there is your choice, i chose to still race but be more responsible by taking it to the track and not dump every dime i have in my car. if you chose to build a drift car then thats on you and i wish you the best of luck with it and i hope to still see you out at meets.

[NevrNufTorq]

it always gets old but gl to you and ya know i'll see ya out drifting...life is full of change and you'll go racing again someday but hopefully just for fun!!! :cheers:

[Lankhoss]

FYI...anything you do, be it street racing or any other activity, will come to this end if your driving motivation is the reaction from others.

That's why you don't see me making callouts. I have my car because I love sports cars, and I love driving mine. The races that happen are just some icing on the cake for me.

[whatever210]

drifting is the way to go. street racing is dead to me. its fun to go fast but straight lines are boring. now get a 240 put an sr in it gt2871r and be done with it. come out and have fun with us

[CHADbee]

About the sameas the ol K-Mart.
yep i put that on the same level. once the old k-mart got busted, BP went to shit, and PMS, speed monkey and phat boy was no more the ATL street scene died

[Frög]

Move to better things brother.. I retired from the "street racing scene" during my Honda Prelude days (lol).. After turbo'ing it and dumping every penny I had on it, I realized it was not the right way to manage money..

I retired from street racing, but like you not from cars.. Drifting sounds awesome, one day I will hopefully have a "weekend" race car.. That means, I will be back at spending ridiculous amount of cash, but what hobby does not cost money?

[Lankhoss]

I'll see if I can't make a long story medium-length.


I've always loved sports cars, but never thought I'd actually own one. Bought a 1989 v6 Camaro RS when I was 17 years old. I probably loved that car more than any other vehicle I've ever driven. It was definitely my baby, and while I didn't have the knowledge to "properly" take the best care of it, I put the most energy into keeping it as "perfect" as possible. A couple years later I bought an '88 IROC Z. What a badass car. I remember when I first got in it after buying it, turning the key, and hearing the rumble of the exhaust behind me. I never thought I'd own a v8 sportscar, and knowing that I was at the command of that roar literally sent me into uncontrollable shakes. This was all the awesomeness of my first Camaro...but much more. Better looks, T-Topps, power everything, Bose system, and a V8. I drove both of those cars like a grandpa. In fact, I had to get the whole system cleaned out because I had carbon build up on the intake so bad, the throttle valve would stick sometimes. There wasn't a time I didn't sit in either of those cars and not grin ear to ear. When I got a slightly better job, I thought I'd try to find a final year IROC (1990) with lower miles, in better shape, the color I wanted (metallic blue), and with the 350 instead of a 305. I took a C4 Corvette for a test drive one day, and never looked at another Camaro. Ended up buying a 1985 Corvette "4+3" when I was 20. This car was by far the best in overall performance, but I wasn't as excited when I bought it as I was my Camaros. In fact, I think I enjoyed driving my IROC more than I did the Vette. BUT....I actually took a Foxbody up on his challenge one day while driving around, and was amazed when I was a half car ahead after we shut down. I was instantly hooked. I got all the bolt on mods I could, and took the car out every night. I'd cruise this local strip (I grew up in TN, it was nowhere around here) and would chase down Mustangs all night, and race them on the highway. The rush was so exillerating, that I'd literally have a hard time pushing the clutch in sometimes.

Shortly after, I graduated from college, got a career, and had to get my life started. Moved down here to Atlanta without a dime to my name, and still had a car note to pay off, plus student loans to begin payments on within the next 6 months. While your life changes a lot once you get out of school and start growing up, I never found another hobby or interest that ever excited me as much as cars, and always missed not having one of my "babies." So after 6 long years of having no fun vehicle whatsoever, I took the "big jump" and got the most badass car on the street. Thinking to myself "Man, if a 235hp 1985 Corvette drove me crazy, I can't imagine what this beast will do."

Well, I got the car, and......it's cool and all, but I had very little reaction when I sat in it. Even though I paid 10 times as much as my previous Vette, and the technology and quality of this car can't even be compared to my previous vehicles, it just didn't do much for me. I started cruising around in it by myself, and I just didn't feel as enthused giving it some gas, or taking a turn at a fast speed, or all those other things I'd done when I was younger. Finally got a few people to challenge me on the highway, and it just wasn't the same (normally because it was no contest, unlike my other Vette). However, it still WAS enjoyable, and I eventually ran into some other guys who shared the passion for cars as I did, and we started hanging out. I did several (as most people here know) races...both on film and off. It was very exciting at first, running my car up against some of the fastest cars on the street, and being even or faster than them in stock form. But after a while, I got a very good gauge of what the car was capable of, and could pretty much determine the outcome of a race without having to actually go through with it. It doesn't mean I don't want to do it, but the excitement and rush has just severely waned.

There are 2 points I'm trying to get at here. 1) is that you will never ever feel the same about a car as you did your first car that you took pride in. 10 years from now you could be driving a Veyron, and it won't give you the same feeling that your 120hp Honda did. The other thing is, we are all excited about things once they're new. At some point, the newness wears off, and the mystery fades away. That doesn't mean it DISAPPEARS. As people get older, they come to grips with reality and have a more accurate picture of things. This excitement for cars mostly came from it being your "first time" in whatever scene it was. Once that period passes, people will realize that it was either just some phase for them (like hair bands or Pump tennishoes), or that it was something genuine and they'll eventually come 'round full circle and revisit that part of their life with a different view of it.

I came back to it, because it never was completely out of my system. I enjoy "the scene," although it is in a different light than it was when I was 19 or 20 years old. I don't like getting super competitive, but I really do enjoy having fun with other people who share the same interest. If you did all of this for other people....be it competition, for stature, self esteem, whatever....then you probably are done with it. But if it was something that was always a personal passion of yours, regardless of whether you were in your car in some distant galaxy by yourself, or constantly surrounded by other people to compete with or show off to...then you'll probably come back to it at some point.

I'll take that as a compliment Tiger. It's called growing up and eventually, everybody does it. Some things in life are more important than spending every $ you make on going faster and racing every weekend.

Don't get me wrong, I still like to have a little spirited driving every now and then and I'm sure Jason will do the same. It's in our blood.

You're right though Jason, it becomes more of a "I need to be faster than him" attitude and thats what gets you burnt out and it consumes you. Going faster becomes more important than anything else.This is the TRUTH.I always wondered what would my life be like if I didnt spend every penny on something new for my car.If I could just have been a regular normal guy that drove a corolla then when he got a better job.He upgraded to something nice and just cruised around town spending his money on other things than a car.:( Been spending money since I was in Elementary school damn bikes were the first thing buying new tires all the time.:lmfao:

[Jason..]

yes they did cover or yes they didnt't?

That sucks if they don't cover....

I don't blame you man, I like going to the drag strip and having spirited drives, but I don't do it to prove anything to anybody. I do it for fun and enjoy the car.

so you blew your motor up and now want to get out of the import scene?
well, at least you are doing what you want to do.
i would keep the z, and just build a good DD out of it, not going crazy and droppin everything you got into it, you know?
or get another car for DD and use the z for the drift car, i mean, you already got it, and its already got a few mods.

well , I wish you luck at what ever you decide to do. I really hope you finally get to accomplish those two goals. But you know... even when you get into your drift action that doesn't mean that you have to run away from car meets on the weekends. You just don't have to race around all crazy like.
