your take on street racing...?

[1sick6]

Are you kidding me?

You have a better chance of dying street racing then sitting in your damn house though.

Also, what the fuck do you race? You drive a DOHC KA s13?!

thats true, but my point was that everything is "dangerous" to some degree (plus it was 1 or so in the morning) and yea i do race a de and i have a few good kills, i race what i have.

Street Racing is a crime and I realize it, but if somebody starts messing with me on the interstate then I'll usually run them if I'm in the Datsun. If I'm in the Yaris, I don't even waste my gas trying.

[VooDooXII]

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

Excellent reasoning...well said.

I'd race on a street...I like the atmosphere is all. I don't want to take a risk with other people's lives though, as well as the problem with cops.

[Ran]

[nx2000det]

its only illegal if you get caught....

[nightracer]

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

I do my thing on the streets. And now the mountains.

[twinj]

I do it. Only do it when no one is in my path. Just don't do it at all on curves just straight line for me then quick shut down

[OneSlow5pt0]

i have messed a round,like some ricer civic,was ridding my ass and he got beside me,and long story short he got his ass raped by a automatic RX-7......and yall know how i beat that EVO

how the hell did you find this lol. next time you are reading an old thread dont post in 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?

[Kevykev]

Best way to do it!

[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.

b/c its a display of speed

That's dumbass logic for morons that "street race" to try and justify their idiocy. Later, QD.

[Sol-Badguy]

I did it, got caught, and my license gone for a year.

I don't condone it.

[Echonova]

I did it for years, realized the error of my ways... won't do it anymore. Not my life I'm worried about, it's the innocent people that get caught up because there in the wrong place at the wrong time. There are just too many uncontrolled factors.

[VooDooXII]

Necroposting...my fault.

[Maniaç]

its something to keep me off drugs and gangs so why not..... i love doing it... i can careless what anyone thinks.

[quickdodge®]

its something to keep me off drugs and gangs so why not..... i love doing it... i can careless what anyone thinks.

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

[soplocar]

well my opinion is that it is stupid, but fun at the same time....
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.....

[Lucky DAWG]

gangs

u have bigger issues then

[sdiddy]

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.

Exactly. I thought that's what you were trying to say is that they are. I hear that "excuse" all the time. My apologies. Later, QD.

[quickdodge®]

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

Do you believe in the above quote? "Street racing" has always been a crime. Speeding has been a crime for a long goddamn time. It has nothing to do with carelessness. Later, QD.

[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.

[RachelsStang]

+1, plus its dangerous, I have many friends w/cobb police, and they have seem too many deaths due to street racing. I have seen the pictures they take on scene, its not pretty.

[Maniaç]

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!

i personally think that if i didn't have this pasion for cars that i would have had a very diffrent life right now. so QD i don't give a fuck what you think, i too have gone over this subject with you before.. same old shit.. Later, Maniac.

[quickdodge®]

so QD i don't give a fuck what you think,

It's all good. I'm not trying to convince you otherwise. And yes. We have talked before about this. And you know what I hope happens to "street racers." Later, QD.

[Nitro]

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.

that's my exact take on it.....well said!!!! kinda hard sometimes to *just let it go* most of the time it's more of annoyance that causes me to mash out......

[Maniaç]

It's all good. I'm not trying to convince you otherwise. And yes. We have talked before about this. And you know what I hope happens to "street racers." Later, QD.

haha i understand.... but like that other guy said.. on crowed streets.. never.. at 2-3am... hell yeah no traffic ftw. we need to meet one day QD i wanna see this wanna be e-thug that everyone talks about in person. Later, Maniac.

[quickdodge®]

I'd be down to meet you anytime, homey. As far as I'm concerned, we're cool. Later, QD.

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.
