    Default The Meets At Barrett

    So whats the deal at Barrett?? I got all the opinions on it. I never seen so many kids which just "basic" bolt ons (intake, headers, exhuast) think their car is the baddest thing that hit the street. And I've never seen so many people who thinks its cool to just buy a turbo kit and put it on a stock car and run it at like what , 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 PSI? Yes I have heard all, cause I always ask, "how many Lbs you pushin" You can gain more HP with less mony than spending it all on a turbo kit, just so you can hear Pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and while everyone is going "OOOOO" im going "that is mad lame cause i bet there is nothing done to the car" Now I give it out the 240 and 300 guys up there, I've seen the work on those cars, they actually spend some money. But come on people at barrett spending a total of $700 on basic bolt ons, doesn't make you hard. And how come when you ask someone if they want to race, they won't or either they want to race down barrett??? How stupid you gonna be. Whats the point of acting all hard about your car if you dont' wanna race it. Where are all the real people who race at. Like the guys who drive an hour away and run them in the middle of no where. People who don't act like idoits in parking lots burning out, and doing dounuts, or causing fights. The Guys who plan the whole races, so that they have a less chance of getting caught. Where are those guys at???? Cause thats the kinda car people we need. I know they are in VA Beach, I've seen it. Where are they in ATL, GA. WHERE ARE THEY? Barrett is way over rated. The problem is everyone is thinks they are better than the other. Import Performance is a hobby, alot of yall need to chill back and be cool with everyone. Thats the end of my opinion, hit me up with some feed back, I love to argue, haha.

    You sounded like a real cool mo-fo until you started asking about the street racing. Places to race are Commerce and Silver Dollar. Street racing is frowned upon on IA. So, please keep that off the public board.

    Other than that...welcome to I-Izzle. Later, QD.

    hmm.. I'm only pushing 8-10psi, love the BOV and only have basic bolt ons but I would be hard pressed to find an n/a V6 making 400whp...

    I think the idea is to avoid catching attention, that means not having 10-15 cars follow you to a certain spot.. nobody is going to post it for everyone to see but the ones you are talking about know where to meet up at.

    You're better off not mentioning street racing on IA

    Hrm let me start by saying that most people that goes to barret are mostly kids that can only afford the basic bolt-ons and don't have the money to spend on boost. Yes most people that don't go to barrett don't go to race in fact most of the people here just meet up to talk about cars the general interest of this site. Street racing is highly illegal and highly punishable here in the state of GA trust me I have friends that are paying for it now. I myself am one with only bolt ons but I like it that way keeps me less tempted to street race or gas it for that matter. If your looking for street races here in GA its not gonna happen unless you go down to MLK or some crap. Just my 2 cent.

    P.S. Most of the reason people act "Hard" as you put it is because they have spent money and sweat building that car and have a sense of pride about it. I mean I am by far not the fastest civic on the street but I am proud of what I have done to my car.

    agreeing with allshow97 . I have done many things to my dc2 and some are bolt ons for the moment, but I have also sweated and put many hours in my car to get it where it is at and I plan to do more but meeting up and hanging out is more rewarding than illegal racing.

    Wow QD you're being pretty nice...

    I have my own opinion about street racing. Yes I do it, no not at redlights, or on barret, and actually haven't street raced since I've been back to Atlanta. Come to think of it, the last time I went out to the street races was in huintsville al. (before the jokes start, im from here,i moved there for a year!) But since it is frowned on here, it's best not to post it on the board...

    um, hmmm, lets see
    how many deaths do u know of that came from skateboarders skating on the street??
    Now think about street racing, i know ive heard my fare share of them.

    You cant compare a car goin 100 mph w/ a skateboard goin maybe 10 mph, theres is no comparison

    People go to barrett because thier is nothing else to do! It is kinda fun, just going out and driving around with your friends. and if you dont want to drive around you can always go get a bite to eat. and thier is the Mall.

    And you comment about the "people with only BOLT ons thinking they are cool" Well..... Fku... Some of us are not little rich pricks and have daddy give us money.... I am one of thoes guys that just have bolt ons... bolt ons are just a building block untill we can save for more.... i am just now getting my turbo kit and the bolt ons i have are only gonna help with my power. And for the people that just dont have the money to ever go with boost.... they are just having some fun with what they can afford. For the most part the people with only bolt ons know they are not gona be the "fastest car" well...excluding ricers.

    Well.... i said my peace!!

    So still no one has moved me. See the majority of yall automattically start talking about hitting cars and people. Yall must be the idoits who races on somewhat populated 4 lane streets. If you go out to the country where there is RARELY a person driving on the road at 1 or 2 in the morning, then your chances of getting caught/hitting/dying is pretty much almost next to nothing. You still haven't convinced me of a anything.

    I just go out to Barrett and hang out... I could careless about the racing aspect... I mean ya, if a car comes out that I think would be a challenge and they ask to race, I got a spot I'll take them to (noway in hell am I even hinting at where...). I could careless about all the ricers and parking lot drifters out there.. its all entertainment.. and personally I think YOU are trying to act hard.. dont take yourself so seriously and you'll have fun. I dont know if Barrett is overrated or not, cause all i ever hear about it is trash talk, but I dont care... I just go out there to hang out with some friends, and it's close... I'm not gonna waste my gas driving across atlanta just to hang out. And if you are looking for people to race only, take your ass to the track... plenty of REAL racers there.
