Yea I read a long time ago, that in california, there were events where cops would host it or w.e. and you could actually race cops... Cool shit, especially if you want to be legal and have a good time.. Im all for that type of shit, but the strip is nowhere near here. And when you do go on the weekends you only get like 2 or 3 runs after waiting there a bunch of hours and having to gas up... I hope they open some shit like that locally..

Well well well, I knew this day would come when people would start to bitch about street racing threads....so here is my two cents. I don't like the street racing that happens on major streets, but however I will say nothing to those that do it on back roads or dead end alleyways. Here in Louisville, they were racing on 11th street, no cross streets, no other traffic and solid brick walls from abondoned buildings.....then came the rumble strips....the other main place we were racing was between two buildings, no cross streets and no through traffic, everyone knew which way to come in and you could sure as hell here them coming. Now alot of people talk about the track, well let me give you an idea of backwoods KY....."now yall see hur....we aint goin be putin up with none of that japcrap round here".......so test and tune is every Wednesday and Friday nights, cost you about $15 to do it plus your gas and because of the amount of people that come,(only track for a while) we have to put up with tons of cars. So on an average night you pay your fee in exchange to listening to all of these f&%king hicks and all of about maybe 5 or 6 passes in the 6 hours you are there listening to this shit. Oh and we get one Sat. night A MONTH for actually racing.....woopdeedo......so guess what we resort to . Now don't get me wrong running down a 65mph highway at speeds in excess of 100+ is stupid, using the emergency lane is stupid but racing in an area where only other racers can get hurt....totally different story.

This is a forum which encourages people to voice opinions, and as moderators we take note of worthy and well backed opinions like his. On the other hand, telling someone to mind their own business when nothing was directed directly at you is discouraged. Voicing your opinion is one thing, telling a member off is different and any further comments like that will be deleted.

Has a street racer ever hit him tho? No, and I bet it will never happen. Yes, street racing is dangerious, but you will never be able to stop it. The only reason i came to this site is to read kill stories so i could know what the si is up against.

It's the same thing on the bike boards that I'm a member of, any jackass with a right arm can go fast in a straight line. Reading the dribble sounds like 13 year olds bragging that their Dad will beat up your Dad, it's childish.

Hmm...so piloting a 400-600hp FWD vehicle down a straight line takes no skill whatsoever?

:rolleyes:

2fast forgive me because you told me I was respectful, but this is just ridiculous....


Mr. TommyD, please don't use this thread as a means to express some form of knowledge you think you have on a subject, because your posts obviously show you have no experience doing anything but speaking on things you don't know about. I don't know everything there is to know in the world and I'm wrong about plenty, even on here, (and I'll be the FIRST to tell you I don't) but one thing I do know is that it takes a whole helluva lot of gusto and skill to track a car with some serious horsepower heading to the front wheels down the 1320 without crashing into a wall or the other car (depending on the track).

Do please don't bore us with your "you must have a small d*ck" bullsh*t. Quite frankly, this thread is quickly becoming annoying with people pointing fingers and saying "this person is stupid" or "that person is dumb" because you don't agree with someone else's point of view. This would be the reason I don't even bother having conversations with half of you...


...not that you all care, I'm sure.

So "I am going to do what I want to do and I don't care if it might kill innocent people" is pretty much the pro-street racing standpoint...

+1 for tacit irrationality.

I don't think that these stories should be banned just because people are going to street race whether or not they see these forums. It is similar to how in canada all retailers of tobacco must hide or cover up their inventory, personally i think that it isn't doing too much. No matter what, people will chose to street race. I will come straight out and say that i do occationally, but never in traffic or in busy areas in town. When I do, its always on the highway where the other car and I have a long stretch of road ahead. I know its not totally safe but it ensures that innocent people will not get harmed. The forums are a place for people's voice to be heard and i feel that street racing stories should still be aloud on these forums. I however do not support street racing, but it will still happen because boys will be boys(or girls will be girls).

This country is based on freedom, freedom of speech and expression come in to play here. While I don't particularly care for street racing threads I believe that people who eant to post/read them should be able to do so. F censorship.

Although this is a privately owed and operated site and the mods/webby will do as they feel is right and I will support their decision...

Couldnt have said it better.

So your telling me if they ban modifying cars, the buisness industry will stop selling all their items for cars? Or all the modded cars out there will be stopped from being on the road? Impossible.

In a straight line, are you f'in serious? No, it doesn't take much skill. You shift, hit the gas, shift. It is nothing compared to going to a track, or auto-x.
Racing should be done in a controlled environment, not on the streets.
I'm tired of reading about innocent bystanders getting hit, maimed, and/or killed due to this silly shit. And don't act like I'm the only one with this opinion, others have chimed in here as well. Hell, have you read any magazined lately, lots of journalists and enthusiasts are sick of this street racing crap with either sportcars or sportbikes. It's old, take it to the dragstrip or the track.

Speaking on things I don't know about? Dude, you don't know me and don't claim that you do. I have been on the track, with automobiles and cars for years. I have owned much more powerful cars over the years FWD, AWD, and RWD.

And your credibility is trash here. You told us on another thread how you had VSA on your '06 Si. How you got a late model and they added it to your car. When asked about it, you were noticeably absent from the thread. IMHO, that makes you a liar. So what you say on much of anything doesn't mean shit to me

It's probably not a wise idea to flame a mod

I was thinking the same thing.

[TommyD]

I hear you. But when he is going to lie to forum members, well, maybe moderator isn't the best title for him.

2nd, he singled me out, flaming me.

[SiC17]

^^^ I'm going to assume that you don't know him either, so how can you call him a liar? How about giving someone the benefit of the doubt? Based on skittles' posts I see no reason to call him a liar. Sure he may not have responded to a thread, but that doesn't make him a liar. It's not like we receive any notification of a response to any thread/comment we make. Skittleslegend sounds like a damn-smart person and rather deserving of his moderator title.

[SiC17]

As far as the thread topic is concerned, it sounds as though many people here have already voiced the same sentiments I feel. I don't condone street racing, but I don't see how banning posts about it will help anything. If we're looking at legalities of threads, let's look also at posts of people drinking and driving (worse than street racing) and illegal mods and ban those as well. I feel that should these threads get banned, we could potentially ride down a slippery slope. I suppose we're glad this is a privately owned forum, yes?
