your take on street racing...?

your take on street racing...?

in light of the current threads about a member getting busted i want to see what everyone really thinks, please this thread has nothing to do w/ kevin, but your thoughts on street racing.





-------------------------------------------
my opinion:

me personally i can't lie... i have street raced and i will do it in the future i'm sure of it. it doesn't matter if its just fucking around w/ some guy from light to light or if its busting ass 100+mph on the hwy. is it a crime? yes, i don't disput the fact that street racing is a crime and such speeds you can potential harm others. i as many fully know the result of such. but guess what people are going to do it regardless. just as people drive under the influence, w/o a license, etc.... they are far fewer street racing deaths then DUI; you can't even compare the two numbers. it still doesn't make it right, but if you get caught then you should do the time for the crime.

[Brett]

I have a slow car so I dont do it. But I think its stupid regardless, Not only do you risk your own life but there are many people a year who die who were just driving along but the idiots racing got them killed because they couldnt control thier cars.

[Z0_o6]

the track costs less than a ticket, and there is proof of who won.

[Nemesis]

Ive never really told anyone, but I almost lost my life street racing 5 years ago.

[iloveboost]

I do it. Not when there's other traffic around though.

[Sibious]

nicely said

[5thgcelica]

i think its pretty stupid to do it.

i cant say i havent messed around on the road before. never straight up drag raced, dont have the car for it lol. but.. ive never gotten stupid with it. its still something that needs to stay on the track. because things can happen that you will regret for the rest of your life.

[Bruce Leroy]

hmmm... I think that street racing is ok, if the location is out of the way where there are no people and that all the idiots are kicked out. What about mountain runs?? Aren't those forms of street racing?? Yet nobody knocks them.

[SLOWLYbtngU]

Hmmm...I chose that I dont really care b4 I noticed other...I think its dangerous and have been passenger to my friend getting tickets several times...I guess I really didnt think that it was that bad until I found out about one of my friend's brothers killing a family of 4 while doing it...It really hit home then...Actually now that I think of it, I haven't gotten in another car for the ride since...I will watch from the bridge or from the shoulder but I just rather not be a part of it.

If there are no cars and u are sure (if that is possible) then shit I can't say I wouldnt do it..

~Undecided~

[B16a2 Civic]

i used to do it, cost over 2g's payin the ticket, liscense reinstatment fee, defensive driving class, not worth it in the end

im against it now ( but not die hard against it), especially with ppl around, but i see why ppl do it

[Big Baller]

What kind of street racing are we talking about?

Going out and making videos with friends, just for shits and giggles?
Nah, Ill pass

Going out and actually running for cash
Yeah

[collins]

i think in some instances, its completly retarded. but i also think if you HAVE to do it, theres a smartER (yes, not smart, but smarter) way to do it. if its heavy traffic, then it should be common sense to just let it go and not fuck around. now, if its an open hwy, and its someone you know and TRUST, then why the hell not?

[4dmin]

What about mountain runs?? Aren't those forms of street racing?? Yet nobody knocks them.

i completely agree no one says shit about mountain runs but that is just as a crime as street racing... furthermore so is speeding; no one drives the speed limit... i have 2 tickest on my license right now: 65 in 45, 100 in 70. i'm not proud of it but hey its the rules of the game you speed you take just as big of chance. :goodjob:

[SLOWLYbtngU]

yeah but unless ur going hella fast ur not spending the night in jail or paying over 2gs to the state

[GirlieZ]

i have done it, i have friends who do it. I dont think its smart, but we all dont do the smartest things. Live and learn, hopefully no one got hurt along the way

[4dmin]

yeah but unless ur going hella fast ur not spending the night in jail or paying over 2gs to the state

well anything 23 over if i'm not mistaken they can take your license and make you spend the night in jail... so that is pretty easy to do when speed limits vary from 15mph-70mph all over the state. shit i do 20+ atleast 1x a day.

As do I and umm that is in my van... :( ....Ok point taken.

[BTEC]

IVE DONE THE WHOLE LINE UP AND RUN SHIT BUT I DIDNT REALLY LIKE IT.
I WILL MESS AROUND ON THE HIGHWAY BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT DISTANCE.


OVERALL ITS STUPID AND FOR SURE, THE TRACK COSTS LESS THAN A TICKET.

WHAT PISSES ME OFF IS WHEN U MESS AROUND WITH SOEMBODY AND THEY WANT TO GO SWERVING BETWEEN CARS AND SHIT LIKE THAT PROVES SOMETHING. THAT WHAT KILLS PPL. THE UNDERGROUND STREET RACE SHIT THAT HAPPENS ON SIDE ROADS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NE BODY DYING EXCEPT FOR WHOSE OUT THERE. JUST LIKE THE TRACK SAYS, RACE AT UR OWN RISK.

[ahmonrah]

street racing.......hmmmmmm.......on crowded streets, a dumb and reckless act towards the innocent. on a remote out-of-the-way road, risky but smarter than the previous. racing on the track?? brilliant, the best choice of all 3.

IS THE LAW STILL 24+ AND UNDER 21YRS OLD MANDATORY LICENSE SUSPENSION?

55MPH IS REFUKINDICULOUS, I SWEAR WHEN I DRIVE THAT SLOW I THINK I CAN GET OUT AND RUN FASTER. I SAY IF THEY RAISE THE SPEED LIMIT TRAFFIC WILL DIE DOWN.

MY NEXT POST WILL BE AOBUT RULES IN IRAQ I HEAR FROM THIS DUDE IN THE MILITARY. LOL!!!

ya 24+ and i guess on the other... ya i think there shouldn't be a hwy in ga under 70mph... seriously... 55 :jerkit: right.

[ahmonrah]

personally, i know i speed. on the hwy i feel better at 75+, i'd slap someone if i did 55mph. i've tried........

[BTEC]

HE SAID THERE IS NO SPEED LIMIT AND IF UR CAR BREAK ON THE HWY U GET A TICKET. PPL PASS ON THE SHOULDER ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON OFF RAMPS. THERE ARE LESS ACCIDENTS BUT WHEN THERE ARE, DAMN.

I SAY OUR LEFT LANE AT LEAST SHOULD BE UNLIMITED MPH.

[BTEC]

personally, i know i speed. on the hwy i feel better at 75+, i'd slap someone if i did 55mph. i've tried........
IVE HAD MORE CLOSE CALLS WITH ACCIDENTS DOING THE SPEED LIMIT THAN I DO DOING 80 AND 90. WHEN IM SPEEDING BY PPL, IT MAKES THEM TENSE UP. WHEN THEY ARE TENSE IT IS LESS LIKELY FOR THEM TO SWAY OVER INTO MY LANE BC THEY KNOW WE ARE GONNA GET FUCCED UP IF THEY DO. LOL!!!!!!!!!

[Reaper]

the speed limit in atl. is rediculous....if I wanna go 5+ over the traffic flow, I get a ticket for 25 or 30 over.....i mean seriously, Im 19 I cant afford to get those kinda tickets.....EVERYONE in atl. drives 70-75+ on the hwy. Its insane and practically suicide if you dont b/c someone will run you the fuck over! My take on street racing, Id prefer a track if there was one a little bit closer to my house, outside of that I have and will street race, but when there is No traffic and plenty of room, a straight road, dry weather etc.

[BTEC]

MAYBE MORE HIGH SPEED POLICE CHASES AND PROTESTS WILL GET THEM TO LISTEN TO US. IF UR JUST BEING STUPID PAY UR FINE AND STFU. IF UR SPEEDING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT PAY UP BITCH (2 FOR 1 DEAL). IF UR STREET RACING ONE THE SIDE STREET AND DIE, RIP.

IF SOMEBODY KILLS MY DOG OR SOMETHING TO MAKE ME GO OFF THE DEEP END ILL START IT.

pretty sure it's more than that to get reckless driving, which is what nets your ass in jail. anything 24 and over is still at least a 3 pt addition to your tally though......which also answers btec's question on whether or not that's a mandatory 6 month suspension of your license if you're under 21.

[collins]

actually, 24 over is 4 points. reckless is 4 points.

[BTEC]

ACTUALLY 24 OVER IS CONSIDERED RECKLESS DRIVING. :D

[Jimmy B]

i dont do it, dont have a car to do it with, have never acually lined up and raced, i have dont it a few times... a few short spurts on the hwy, or a road with no cars on it... but that was in the younger, stupid, retarted days.. kinda like 1/2 of the peopel on here.. i havent "ran" another car in about 4 years at least.. and i will NOT do itin the future..

its one of the stupidist things you can do, its reckless, dangerous, and you can hurt alot of peopel, not to mention illegal..

my 2cents.. im not sorry if you think im talking about you.. i am..

[PhAtBoYMr2]

i street race.

Iv'e lost my lisense, paid $2000+ in fines, have been in 100+mph high speed wrecks, almost lost 2 of my closest friends aswell as seen people pass away near me...

is it worth it? yes...becuase theres no other feeling in the world that can compare.....no drug, no amount of money, no woman can compare to the feeling you get when your reeling someone in throwing it in 5th gear hearing the sound of the blow off valve watching trees fly by you at 140+mph.......that shit cant be duplicated.

ego-boosting at its lowest. I used to street race back in Florida, every weekend for years on end. Although I understand how good it feels to win, I can't imagine my wife or my mother putting me in the ground. What do they say at your service? "Well he died a horrible death, but hey at least he won".

Are you really willing to die for street racing? Is it that important to you that you could care less for others around you, your friends and family, etc.? Justifying it is selfish, plain and simple.

I'm not talking to anyone in particular, just in general.

If your not ready to face the consequences of streetracing than you shouldnt be streetracing at all. Sure streetracing is immature and life threating but having a car and a lisense on these atlanta streets is life threating enough...You risk your life on roadways as soon as you sit down and start your car.

Im not going to sit here and act like street racing is the right thing to do, becuase i know its wrong and it takes lives but street racing isnt anything new to us, it has been going on for decades after decades, there can never really be an end to street racing just as long as people have cars and licsense's there will always be racing of some sort.

Drunk driving takes away more lives annually than streetracing does, and it seems like the penalites for street racing are harder and more severe than drunk driving and that to me is down right stupid.

i guess with every joy in life there are consequences you face, You smoke cigarettes you could eventually die, you drink enough cofee you could eventually die, You swim everyday you can eventually drown and die, you streetrace alot, you can eventually die.......If your not ready to face the consequence than don't do it.

[ct9a gsr]

Street racing is dangerous, risks people's lives, and for idiots. I would never do such a cardinal sin... hence why I take footage of people driving at or under the speed limit and use CGI to create an illusion of speed.

... sometimes I program my AEM to give me an illusion of speed too.

[Senko]

actually the only track thats cheaper then a ticket is drag racing, road racing is expensive as hell. yes street racing is dangerous, yes it can kill people, but so can falling out of a window. anything in the world can kill someone, its just like a pit bull, they have a bad rap, but more people are attacked (and documented) to be attacked by most any other dog, including chiwawas... just like street racing, there are HUNDREDS of things on the road that kill more people and cause more accidents then street racing, but the uptight conservatives feel it is something they dont like cause I think they were the kid in the slow car who always got laughed at,.....


ok enough of my rant

[Julio]

I have never done it and never will.

[SniperJoe]

I've lost too many friends to even consider it.

[~The_Duke~]

I cant lie either...I have done it, but I dont do it when there are alot of other cars present...I will only do it if there is just me and the other person with sight distance ahead...or if the next car is more than a mile infront...but I will not do that 100+ stuff...only like 60-100 pulls and messing round on backroads...

[Greddypacked]

It's alright if you dont take it out of hand and risk other people's lives.

[ratedEG]

I do it very rarely and when i do I have to be challenged I never go out looking to race. I mean cmon I drive a four door if someone bucks i have to put them in their place. plus its priceless beating a hatch or somethin on the highway in a sedan... especially when they have their girl in the car lol. but im tryin to stop all together its not worth the outcome if u get caught.

[{X}Echo419]

I have a slow car so I dont do it. But I think its stupid regardless, Not only do you risk your own life but there are many people a year who die who were just driving along but the idiots racing got them killed because they couldnt control thier cars.

of course you drive a CIVIC! :lmfao: J/K please don't shoot me :cool:

It's like smoking weed(I don't). I'd bet most of you that will hang someone for mentioning "street racing" have or do currently like to smoke up. well guess what that's stupid and illegal to. and If you don't good for you.

my point is; if you're going to do it. don't do it in traffic and know the limits of your car. ie. if you have a CIVIC with an intake don't try and do 150mph! :2cents:

[Dragonfly5338]

Errm. I don't care really. Whatever floats your boat. I don't run random people, but I'll fuck around on the street with Tray or my friends. Hahaha, at least I can still beat all my friends. :doh:

[Vteckidd]

I do it, i dont condone it, but i do it as safe as possible. i dont go out with 37 other ricers an jam the highways.

I usually keep it to the wee hours of the morning when there is no traffic, an i never push my self past what i think is safe. IE i usually lift at 120mph, i dont see the need to go any faster than that

[§treet_§peed]

i think it's ok as long as you are doing it were there is no traffic and in a secluded spot. as in drag racing, that is what i prefer to do, i hate doing shit on the highway, i mean i might do a little bit, rarley, but maybe only for a sec or two. i prefer draging off in a cut somewhere, where there's nobody to be hurt as we're runing cept for us...

[Hulud]

[§treet_§peed]

just an opinion, well more or less a fact. it's something that people will continute to do regardles of the consequinces or etc. i mean, we all know it'll continue to go on for as long as cars exist.....the only thing that we can hope for is that stupid ignorant people wil slack off and/or stop, or atleast get smarter about the way you go about doing it....

This man knows whats up right here! Took the words right out of my mouth. :goodjob: Your a poet :).

[TeeJay]

ive done it, used to do it all the time, but my 20+ tickets and my anal rapage by Nationwide made me stop. plus i dont drive my car that much or go out late anymore

[§treet_§peed]

ture higly agree with the tickets, for i have abut 10+ tickets for speeding and shit also

[~The_Duke~]

I only have 3 :D

[§treet_§peed]

for i get ass raped by progrresive also...$1600 every six months and hell i don't even have my drivers licences right now. but yet, i still have to keep that insurance policy regardless of anything, even if i didn't own a car.... but atleast only 2 years of that bull shit left and it startrs coming back down:D :idb:

[~The_Duke~]

Ya cas otherwise you will get raped when you do get a car cas of your insurance lasp time...you might want to go try to get a quote from liberty mutal...I would be paying about 2000 per 6 mouths on progressive, but I pay about the same amount for an entrie yr from liberty mutal...

[§treet_§peed]

fur shizzle

[bluuuurr]

If you can't afford a day at the track, you definitely can't afford a street racing ticket.

[Master Shake]

street racing....i do it, knowing that it can be a big offense and one hell of a ticket, but its not like i do it anywhere.
my opinion on it is that you just have to know when and where to do it, not just anytime anywhere. be smart about it, don't go flying down your local highway cause thats just retarded, there's other people around to take into consideration of what if something happen, like you have a blow out on you front tire, then it could put other people at risk, but if its a straight away on some backroad, and you know there's no one around, then do what you please. just don't do it any chance you get, and try to keep it to the minimum.

[GTScoob]

I'll meet up with friends and do some friendly runs on the street but I'm not going to go out racing people redlight to redlight.

Same thing, I'll never race for money, only for fun to see how my car stacks up.

It's a crime, you cant say anything otherwise. I remember seeing some bumper stickers that said "Streetracing is not a crime" in the same style as the classic "Skateboarding is not a Crime" stickers. The only difference is that skateboarding down the road isnt a crime, destroying property however is.

Don't race on highways. Roads are ok if they are empty. but mountain passes are always fun at night. and no one really drives on them. If you lose your license or don't have one, don't drive. I believe tracks would be great but there isn't one around my area. Just think of other people before racing and stay on your side of the road.

Only thing you've gotta worry about with mountain roads are the hicks throwing oil and gravel on the turns in efforts to slow cars down or make them wreck. That kinda stuff is way too common up in the mountains.

[Miranda]

Street racing is toooopid. Too many variables that can lead to a bad accident or worse..

But.. we all do it in some sense or another, whether it be 0-speed limit fast enough to show some bag of douche what's what, or spirited driving in groups.

Now that Moreland Ave shit, that's just dumb. I went once to spectate.. my license is worth WAY more than a pass at some retarded camaro with altezza's.

Ya tell me about it. One guy tossed a barrel of gravel on to the road and made my friend crash into a ditch. The car was totaled and he wasn't even racing. But most places we go to are mostly desertied or got people that live and actually race on the mountain, so they're ok with us.

[SPOOLIN]

i voted other.

I dont really Care about it, but on the other hand i like it when im there WATCHING IT, haha

But i won't DO IT.

[green91]

What about mountain runs?? Aren't those forms of street racing?? Yet nobody knocks them.

To bad mountain runs arent a race.. they are enjoying cars/bikes handling ability in amazing scenery and road conditions.

Street racing is all about being sensible. Is it worth racing at 120+mph through traffic to see who is faster no? Is it fun to shut down somebody from a stop light when nobody is around? Hell Yes.

Im not one to go to racing "spots" or whatever, but ive been involved in a couple highway runs and more mountain drives than i can count.. but im sensible and havent ever gotten a ticket of any sort. Its all about moderation and being smart. To bad this is where a majority of people are lacking.

[SPOOLIN]

yep you got it down pat

[iloveboost]

Going over the speed limit in the mountains is just as illegal as street racing. There's just a stiffer penalty for one.

You can't come on here and bash one illegal activity and justify another because you're "getting a feel for your car's handling ability."

if you can control your driving then go for it. if you are a shitty driver then racing shouldnt be on your "to do list".... problem is most ppl now-a-days are fucking idiots when it comes to driving. talkin on cell phones, watching fucking movies, doing make-up, whatever else. i swear i see idiots every day all day long.

Never street raced, never will. I dont need to risk someone elses life to get my kicks. The mt. runs that I have been on are not races, thus cannot be conpared to street racing.

no thats different. Its just organized/pre-planned speeding :).

[Flip]

Street racing is a bad idea. I really try not to most of the time but i have to admit that I do occationally. I don't ever plan it or anything like that. The only time I'll really do it is if i'm on a clear highway with another car and I'll only pull for 20-30 mph then slow back down and stop it at that. No traffic weaving none of that shit. It's still dangerous and not a good idea tho...

[nitrousfed]

like i said before i norm.. would have been the first to jump at a street race but after almost getting rearended by cars running 65+mph on the highway it makes you look at things different yea i cant blame nobody but myself all im im saying is if you are gonna do it be careful

[SilverJester]

I do it whenever I get the chance. It's a totally different experience from going to a track. On the street, you have to judge which people you want to challenge/accept challenges from based on what mods you can see/hear on a car. Generally this limits mods on a car (ie no race gas or slicks) which can make a world of difference on some cars. More interesting to see these types of races where people bring out sleepers and cars made for just this type of racing. Line up...and go....track days are ok, but a far drive and like I said, a different experience.

Of course this doesn't mean go weeving in and out of traffic...find a deserted area (industrial parks work well) and get 1 or 2 people (not a huge crowd) to spot for potential traffic. :2cents:

[DARLING DARA]

you need to make sure you know exactly how to handle your car, at exactly what speeds. kids these days get shit done to there car and test it out right in the streets, and screw up and die. i mean, how many times do you hear about accidents on the news concerning that crap?

if you wanna race, make sure you know what your doing to every extent. make sure you know how to correct mistakes at high speeds, etc... make sure you know your car and the limits that you can push.

i mean, i think the track is where you can show what you really have.

[JITB]

i used to be out and about every weekend sat - sun on the southside. even tho i got arrested for racing, that wasnt even the final draw, it was just a simple thought of its not worth it. i thought abotu all the dumb shit i used to do, doing 130+ on public roads, just waiting for something to happen, all that racing means nothing. i went to the track one day and it was a hell of alot more fun. And i said to myself if i die street racing how stupid i would feel.

all the posts about make sure that u do tihs and do that is stupid.. u cant make sure shit, when you racing someone and that bad thing happens (bad tire - bump in the road) ur gonna get fucked up..

[DARLING DARA]

i understand that there isn't any DEFINITE way to make sure. shit happens. but the best way to test out anything, i'd believe is on the tracks.

close friends have died from fucking around, "all in good fun". it's not fun anymore if ur dead. i believe people can agree on that.

[JITB]

yep, my friend died in a a car wreck that had nothin to do with racing.. that might have really made me think that im not invincible, see your best friend @ 7 and by 730 hes gone forever, makes u think alot..aint even worth it.

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

i used to street race when I had my car, now im losin my license and I had to sell my car. well now I got some time to think about the stupid shit I did when I had my car...but does that mean im gonna stop havin fun once in a while when I get my shit back?? no...but im almost 90% sure that I will be takin the car to track then going to street race and put others lives in danger...NAH MEAN???

kids these days get shit done to there car and test it out right in the streets, and screw up and die.

[HyPer50]

if done in relatively safe area's (business parks, industrial parks, empty/no traffic roads) i'm ok with it, but when people do that stupid shit on I-75 when there are cars everywhere I feel like just slamming them into the median. I drive for a living and I've seen people SEVERAL times racing down I-75 in the middle of the day. Thats just flat out retarded.

[HalfBaked]

no thats different. Its just organized/pre-planned speeding :).

What is funny is that you probably don't think the racing isn't organized either.

Cars go ahead to look for cops, cars stay back to keep traffic slowed down.

It isn't like, just go drive around looking for stoplights and race...

[Nemesis]

I only race in bumpy parking lots, cuz thats how I roll

[MongolPup]

I remember I saw nem one time when he was going to Taco Mac.....damn the car is really loud. Don't tell him though, it'll break his heart.

[1SICKLEX]

What is funny is they don't want street racing but:
1. You can get got damn Accords, Camrys and Altimas with 250+hp
2. Mods are readily available for most anycar
3. You go to pep boys and they push octane boosters and blah blah additives
4. In car ads, all they advertise is power, hp or some damn car drifting or doing figure 8s...

So its a freaking paradox. They want us to buy all these more and more powerful cars then they want us to all drive 30mph and have 50 airbags.

Its like dating a fine ass model with the body of one of those video chicks but you can't have sex with her.

i agree, i went out of town this weekend and i was doin 80, and i was gettin run down by older folks in big sedans and big suv's who had to be doin atleast 90+. i did a constant 80 their and back and i felt like i was doin 55. iw as thinkin the same thing u posted while i was driving.. ppl still flying even with gsp at every hill..

I agree Matt, street racing can be organized and setup to be as safe as possible, although the act itself isn't ..


I do it whenever I get the chance. It's a totally different experience from going to a track. On the street, you have to judge which people you want to challenge/accept challenges from based on what mods you can see/hear on a car. More interesting to see these types of races where people bring out sleepers and cars made for just this type of racing. Line up...and go....track days are ok, but a far drive and like I said, a different experience.

I totally agree, its a totally different experience on the streets compared to at the track. People that street race know the risks they are taking and for the most part keep it as safe as possible for everyone around them. I do agree that is dangerous and there are many risks but its just something about it that gets one hooked.

I'll admit that I do race on the streets often and lately I've been meaning to slow down on that, especially cause I'm working on a case I have with Cobb County, me getting arrested for speeding/reckless driving ..

But here's where you're wrong. The products state, simply, on the item's packaging, that it is for off-road use only. Just because they sell the stuff to add power to a car, doesn't mean that it makes it ok to go out and risk regular people's lives. Later, QD.

Exactly, hell everyday traffic is basically racing. 200hp is now the norm, not the exception. 10 years ago, 200hp said something, not anymore.

We are not talking M cars or Ferraris here. The average car or SUV from the average car maker can be optioned to have the capability of an EXOTIC from the 1980s...

Yet getting a license is as easy as ever.

[fight club]

after reading this thread, i found the consensus is this:

the few people who have been out racing in the past 2 years know what its like nowadays.
and the ones agianst its main thing is killing others etc by weaving in and out of traffic.

so heres my two cents. i am neither for or agianst street racing. i dont care one way or another. i believe the feel is uncomparable. those that compare it to drag racing at a track need to go and experience both. it is like comparing solo2 autocrossing to a real road course; two totally different feelings. i agree the individuals that are weaving in and out of traffic at breakneck speeds, barely avoiding cars and causing wrecks are a danger to those in their cars and the ones around them. but, THEY ARE NOT THE ONES RACING. and those who come out on the weekends will agree. the street racing done nowadays is no longer the same as the 5pm 60-120 in heavy traffic on 85 that the world seems to think of it. it isnt the dig races in parking lots that cross over roads indangering the passerby. it is racing done on EMPTY stretches of highway with friendly cars in front and back to get rid of the chance of any person not involved being injured. yes, people could still die. the people driving, or looking out could die. but you could hit the wall at road atlanta and die. you could get shot in a school shooting, and die. someones tire could pop on 75 and they swerve into you and you die. our lives are full of dangers and the threat of death is a wary one as there is not one activity that can not cause you harm. to those that race, i only ask that you take the time and precautions that are needed to make it as safe as possible. after that, your on your own. but at least then, when its just you and the car your racing thats at risk, and you begin to honk it off, you both have decided to risk it, and know the consequences, and its only your lives on the line, not a grandma doing 50 your going to weave around.

That and allocating a straight, flat, well-paved, well-lit highway with good scenery for top end racing every week would be good shit. Night runs would put a huge dent in highway runs.

Road Conditions is what i base my judgement on.

Just make sure that if a mistake is made, others will not go down with you.

Idiots that race when the roads are slick or in heavy traffic or around meighborhoods are idiotic.

Keep an unsafe activity as safe as possible, please!.

talkin bout dangerous....everything is dangerous...chillin at your house some one might bust in on you and shoot you in your head... so danger is everywhere you cant avoid it. however calculating the risk you are taking is very important. like the videos they showed in drivers ed and in school when drunk drivers or racers killed some1 else but they survived- when you watch it you might blow it off but if you really put yourself in the drivers position and think about if you killed some1 and you survived wtf are you gonna do?

also not too long ago a friends friend of mine was racing/or going fast (dont know what car) he crashed and he killed his fucking bro who was sitting in the passenger seat- think about that- thats some serious shit.

i aint gonna lie i race n shit its fun.

streetracing isnt cool at all..i think it should be handled on the track. i got my license suspended for being stupid when i was like 17... once you get your shit taken, you look around and realize all the soccer moms and kids around you... and you take for granted your rights... it sucks. just dont do it. :'[

[_Christian_]

i street race.

Iv'e lost my lisense, paid $2000+ in fines, have been in 100+mph high speed wrecks, almost lost 2 of my closest friends aswell as seen people pass away near me...

is it worth it? yes...becuase theres no other feeling in the world that can compare.....no drug, no amount of money, no woman can compare to the feeling you get when your reeling someone in throwing it in 5th gear hearing the sound of the blow off valve watching trees fly by you at 140+mph.......that shit cant be duplicated.
one quarter mile at a time...lol. i do agree with you though.
facts for 2004:
# of deaths due to street racing in the world in 2004:141

# of deaths due to falling coconuts in the world in 2004:151

# of deaths due to children falling into five gallon buckets in 2004:487

do we cut down all the coconut trees? where are child proof buckets?

[ahmonrah]

i'm a spectator. i've done lil bull-ish runs with friends and a lil light to light before and honestly so long as it's deserted, to where you and the other driver are at risk, if that's your choice, do it. it all comes down to choice with everything IMO. we all know the potential consequences for EVERYTHING we do. it's on you if you go ahead and follow through.

[sdiddy]

Wow... back from the dead?

After reading this thread, I'm still trying to figure out how people consider mtn runs as a form of street racing. Sure, everyone involved may be exceeding the speed limit, but that doesn't make it racing. Nearly everyone on 285 is exceeding the speed limit, so are they all racing?

[sirkus]

This is an old ass thread. I remember reading this a long time ago..

I normally will do a quick take off with some ricer fag at some redlights just to let him know that I am faster than him. Or just to see what their car can really do (I've had a couple to just take off and leave me) It's all really in fun.. and I don't get crazy if there's traffic. I'll just catch up really quick and just putt putt again.

the adrenaline rush when you are doing over 120 is priceless, but if you get caught by the po po, then everything is down to time locked up and money in fines, thats why i said stupid and fun.
i stopped street racing back in june 2005 when i crashed my dc2, the accident was bad, but i was lucky that all the damage was to the car and not me nor other people because i ended up over the center of the street and stopped on the other side of the road with oncoming traffic...... since that day i said that i wouldnt street race anymore, ill just take it to the track and thats it, theres too much to loose and nothing to win, your life is priceless and you shouldnt risk it over a stupid decision. well thats what i think.
also my car is slow as fuck.....

lol. Way to take a quote out of context...

The point is, if two or more people are driving on a road, and they happen to be exceeding the speed limit, it doesn't automatically mean that they are 'street racing'.

BTW I'm not trying to justify street racing.

If a friend and I go on a 'mountain run', and we are both maintaining a brisk pace (5 - 10mph over posted limit), that doesn't automatically mean that we are racing. Yeah, we are speeding, but it's not a contest of speed.

Maybe my idea of a 'mountain run' is different than what goes on there...

Thats called a sunday drive

[Slow Motion]

Ok...I understand that street racing under the wrong type of conditions can be dangerous and is dangerous if you are in heavy traffic and you are not at all an experienced driver, especially at high speeds. But, racing and or street racing is part of the world of import tuning. Import(s) period. Why tune your car and and sit somewhere just to show that you spent money on fixing your car up. It is pointless, you have 500 horses but you don't drive. I have seen many a drivers with cars they spent 10's of thousand(s) plus dollars on stage 3 upgrades and they don't even drive over 70mph. If you are going to be just an enthusiast then get a honda and rice it up. But if you get a 350z and upgrade it so that you have something that has power but no one has ever seen it in action then it defeats the whole purpose of it all. This isn't fast and the furious that was just a movie that was done due to street racing and the fact that you could get major speed from small cars such as imports.

Notice: This is my OPINION. I am not looking to provoke those who have seen others killed in accidents or have had accidents themselves. But we are talking about grown adults who choose to do what they want and make there own decisions. Consequence follow those decisions but we are adults. And i feel that telling me that I am wrong for something because you don't do it or stopped doing it is not your place. But to advocate racing in a safe area so that innocent people don't get hurt is not a bad thing but is good so that there are less things blamed on those who are import enthusiast and get pulled over and harassed just because i have a catback or i have a car that is modified. That is all.

[Slow Motion]

Also just another note...

I believe that it has become a crime due to the carelesness of past generations. Because street racing is not new. The people have change and where the culture has move to as far as, taking a import perspective has. But it won't stop. It will just change and adapt. Like we have. It will become something that may eventually become accepted amongst those who oppose it, being those who don't race. And my eventually cause us as Importers to come up with an idea that will help us acheive the freedom that we want.

Driving up 285 with the windows down, radio off listening to the sound of the engine i shift gears, during a warm summers night. soon it will be here. Real drivers know what im talking about the sound of your turbos and blow off valve. Catback in tune with the rest of the music your car is making to your ears...Think about it.

[quickdodge®]

This is the only part of your post I will quote seeing as how the rest was not as much crap.

[quickdodge®]

Why tune your car and and sit somewhere just to show that you spent money on fixing your car up.

There are these places called drag strips. It is a place where you can......WHAT!!!!!.....race your car. Your very own highly modified Honda. Who would've thought. There you go.



And i feel that telling me that I am wrong for something because you don't do it or stopped doing it is not your place.

And I, and other people that don't like seeing "street racers" kill other people, feel that it IS my place to say that this is wreckless, childish, dangerous and a menace. Later, QD.

Yeah, because "street racing" doesn't kill. Later, QD.

no street racing does kill, i admit that. but you see a few years ago i was doing drugs and i did hang around gangsters.... but the love for speed and cars pulled me away from all that type of life style aka all that bullshit!

street racing.......hmmmmmm.......on crowded streets, a dumb and reckless act towards the innocent. on a remote out-of-the-way road, risky but smarter than the previous. racing on the track?? brilliant, the best choice of all 3.

its a bit different when you have to look at the family of the person you killed innocently driving by when you hit them driving recklessly.

maybe you should have tried birdwatching or knitting instead to get you out of the gang

[Humphrizzle]

i think in some instances, its completly retarded. but i also think if you HAVE to do it, theres a smartER (yes, not smart, but smarter) way to do it. if its heavy traffic, then it should be common sense to just let it go and not fuck around. now, if its an open hwy, and its someone you know and TRUST, then why the hell not?


in what instance would one HAVE to race someone on the street?

[SPOOLIN]

in what instance would one HAVE to race someone on the street?

when theres a viper and a POS racing for a hot chick. J/K

people i know street race all the time in the summer out near where i live in the country on a stretch a road that is only traveled by deer late at night, no lights on the street so you can clearly see if nothing is coming or not plus its a half mile stretch anyway. I watch everytime. I see no harm in it except for their own but its a field on either side and some trees at the beginning so theres no much to crash into but either at the track or on that stretch, shits gonna get fucked up just the same. I do not condone street racing in a damn neighborhood but i do not see any harm in the situation that i have stated.
:yes:

your take on street racing...?

in light of the current threads about a member getting busted i want to see what everyone really thinks, please this thread has nothing to do w/ kevin, but your thoughts on street racing.





-------------------------------------------
my opinion:

me personally i can't lie... i have street raced and i will do it in the future i'm sure of it. it doesn't matter if its just fucking around w/ some guy from light to light or if its busting ass 100+mph on the hwy. is it a crime? yes, i don't disput the fact that street racing is a crime and such speeds you can potential harm others. i as many fully know the result of such. but guess what people are going to do it regardless. just as people drive under the influence, w/o a license, etc.... they are far fewer street racing deaths then DUI; you can't even compare the two numbers. it still doesn't make it right, but if you get caught then you should do the time for the crime.

Not the most valid argument. There's no qualification of deaths/injuries to # of street races. More kids are hurt/killed each year on playground equipment than with handguns. Does this mean we should outlaw playgrounds and give kids handguns for their safety?

I'm sure if you took actual time behind the wheel vs. accidents, street racing would likely have similar incidents per mile as drunk drivers. Last time I checked few people street race 20 miles home.

I can't say I've never broken traffic laws and driven enthusiastically but as for going all out, save a few bucks for going to the track and call the cops the next time you see a crowd of people watching/video taping people running on high traffic roads.

If you can't afford to run at the track, you can't afford your car and it's only a matter of time before a big ticket, mechanical failure, license revocation, or premium increase has the car on a repo man's truck anyway.

What the fuck! dude you smell like a fucking cop. what kind of shit is that!?
call the cops! dude i have to disagree with you there... thats not a very smart thing to do. if anyone does do that they better make sure they stay low and that NOBODY sees who they are.

Street Racing isn't driving like a moron.., dodging tracffic...., ect. i agree that people should take a few trips to the track... thats something im really lookinh at.. improving your skills is the best thing you do.

But seriously that was VERY fucked up what you wrote up there! *Real Fucking Talk*

well i of course its illegal i know that i lost my first car by doing it prolly would of killed my self by now if i would of still had it but yea ust to be fun but not any more cant even race my car is slow at times i try to push the car but thats about it STREET racing is a bunch of lol j'p

[Jecht]

Paul, I'll race your Beetle! :lmfao:






Not really, I see no point in racing my slow car. Even if I had a faster car, I wouldn't feel the need to street race.

I see that you like to quote things that i said. But damn, if you are going to quote me don't use a small portion of what i say use the whole thing. First off, I said that street racing under the wrong conditions (being on the expressway or in a area not suitable for racing) can be dangerous and is dangerous especially if you are in heavy traffic. I also said i believe street racing has become a crime due to carelessness. That's my OPINION. And sense speeding is a crime, if you've ever gone 46 in a 45 or 56+ mph on I-285,I-75,I-85 or any other major expressway consider yourself breaking the law (commiting a crime). And like i said also. We are ADULTS. How are you going to stop let alone tell an adult what to do. There are CONSEQUENCES to every choice you make. I said that too. Plus i too said that to advocate racing in a safe place (ex. a race track, deserted street) so INNOCENT people don't get hurt is not bad but is GOOD. So if you are going to quote me please quote everything i said. Because the way you chopped up my words. I thought you were a fake news journalist for a second searching for a story.

ALSO GUY..........................I DO NOT DRIVE A HONDA. My only question to you is WTF made you think i drove any type of modified HONDA. I do not mean to insult you or disrepect you but you did not tell the whole story.

The above was a negative rep given to me by you... and if you notice what you said. I mean isn't that kind of hypocritical. Street racing makes you feel like a man, but its a crime though right? Thats what your saying right? hmmm.... just a thought.

But thats all i'm going to say...time to move on.
