    Whats wrong with being a middle aged kid? I enjoy it.

    I got no problem throwing radials on my shit and driving it around all night but I could never convince you that my shit is street car. It has a cage. It has a Glide with a trans-brake. There is no heat or AC. No power steering. No cruise control. It runs on C16. I buy the fuel and if I wanna spend two or three hundred bucks to cruise around on a Saturday night, thats my problem. You see, apparently driving a car around on the street does not make it a street car these days. At what point are people gonna start saying shit like "if it doesnt get at least 30 MPG, its not a street car"? Obviously a cage disqualifies me even though it is required at any track that is worth going to. My auto trans disqualifies me even though over half the cars produced come with auto trans. Some say anyone can go fast with an auto. Just floor it. Those are the guys that think they are clutch car heroes. Typically those clowns are the ones that will only race from a roll because, in their words "my shit wont hook up". I say show me them skills and get that pig moving from a dig or STFU about your driving skills. It doesnt matter if I fired my shit up and drove to Daytona Beach and back. It will always be a RACE car to some of you guys. I'm damned if I do and damned if I dont. I could say your car should be fast as fuck, you spoent enough money on it. And you might tell me its not your problem that I didnt spend enough money. And you would be right. But at the same time, its not my fault you are racing with a manual trans in a 3,000 pound car with low profile 20 inch tires. I hope you motherfuckers can get together and make this happen. I would love to see the video. But I cant set around in a parking all night being called a bully or a pussy for trying to race a street car with a race car. Even though we are talking about racing them and I did drive my shit up there. Good Luck to all.

    i like the way you think... you sound like a real racer, run what you brung and hope you brought enough... if someone is out of their league, then they should just be man enough to say it... we will be there w/ money in hand, and hopefully there will be someone there to race... jerry agreed to run zo w/ no lock in... soooooo, i guess we'll see yall there... will he???

    We all know what a race car is, whether you want to admit that it's purpose built is on you..

    That imapla is a nasty bitch, I'm sure if you look hard enough you will find a 5 somewhere , small block base with big block cubes and guns...LOL
    But I'm pretty sure ZOsick will bitch out, atleast from a dig, which will force a dig with that Impala..

    You just proved my point. The point when the other guys car stops being a street car is when he took it a little farther than you did.

    Its an easy out. Keep that ACE up your sleeve because your gonna be using it all your life.

    Well I'm in another league, my car is slow... But I can't say my car was not built with a purpose in mind, it's a street car, but it goes both ways!!

    Just a thought, Can you pass emissions? Some county's don't require them, but that's a big step to being a true street car, even if it's purpose built...

    passing emmisions is not a true test for a race car lol. how many mustangs and lsx are there that put o/r midpipes on because they like the sound and have no county emmisions. if you put emmision centers in north ga. almost every v8 car, jacked up truck, or old trail truck would fail the hell out of it

    Umm no it will not. It is a 1970 model car. So along with having 18 inch or larger wheels, air conditioning, stereo system, manual trans, cruise control, leather interior, navigation system and no cage, it must now pass current EPA regulations? Even if the car was never fitted with smog equipment from the factory? Man I give up.

    the obvious game is saying a street car is whatever a persons setup is and anything more its a race car... certain corvette owners use this tactic often... even though a car has nitrous and 13" wide tires, its not setup for drag racing because it has a/c, leather, and navigation ... dont be discouraged by all of these rules, bring your car out... we will be there... we want to race, win or lose, its just racing... if you can drive it on the street and its got a tag and insurance and you call it your street car, its a street car and we'll run it...

    impossible... this is 100% his race... his turf, he called the money, he called 1/4 mile, he called a roll, he called no lock in... says his word and street credit should be enough, we agreed... other than bringing another car up for him to drive, im not sure what else can be done to make this happen... i am so excited....

    jerry has talked w/ the impala dude... he says he's a cool dude... thats how it should be... we are all in this for the same reason, right... we all want a race... if impala dude shows and wants to race from a dig, thats great!!! thats what he wants and thats what we want, no talking, just racing...

    I can vouch for the Impala. He races as long as it is a reasonable race, and has no trouble with winning or losing. He just moved down here last year, and just enjoys racing on the street.

    No, you won't. The car doesn't go to the track.
