Street racing in Philly

5*7*04 I went street racing with 10 of my friends for the first time in philly. We went down neer the Philly Int. airport.take I-95 towards the airport and take exit 14 take the fist right ad go stait down to to gas station and the tity bar.you'll see lots of hot chicks and cars. Any ways i've been to the races at Puerto Rico they were a little more organizied. We got there at around 11pm and left around 2am.we almost got arrested when an undercover cop pulled up right in front of the racers and 4 feet a way from me and my friend george.George called out 5!! 0!! 5!! 0!! every one split.some guy busted his ass while trying to jump off some pickup truck he landed dead on his face(DUM ASS).Anyway i just want to say that keep the cops running and keep the rubber burning. Can't wait to go next week. peace

more proof philly street racing is gaye

that's one of the least intelligent posts EVER!
so... we do this illegal stuff, right...
here's directions to WHERE.

see thats what bugs me about stupid kids, they dont know the laws. I know some states make it illegal to watch a street race, let alone race in one. But in most states its not illegal to watch a street race. So your sitting their waiting to watch a race and some cops come up so you run away like cockroaches when the lights in a room are turned on? Those cops were prolly laughing their asses off at you guys. I would have talked to the cops, why run away scared, if you werent doing anything illegal. And 1 undercover cop? gimmie a break, he wasnt going to do anything more than tell you to leave. Your no badass, look like a scared little 16 year old in mommies minivan.

LOL
as I said there is a reason why its so gay around here I think the most fun i had there was all the times I didn't go.
Cops already know where it is and bust it all the time some clowns *no need to point fingers they do it them self* keep going anyway

And that's exactly why I don't go down there, too many stupid kids.

Ok, just to add my own experiences. I have raced in Philly on multiple occassions, and it sounds like a few of you have been there as well.

First off, it really is like that, and gay is the last word I would use to describe it. I have had boring times down there, but I have also had some good times. There are literally hundreds of cars, your adrenaline gets pumping, and you get in an occasional race.

2nd, In Philly it actually is illegal to watch the races, I know from experience as cops pulled up next to us while we were repairing a friends car(it was on the jack) I spent 15 minutes convincing the cop not to arrest us and impound our cars. She specifically told us that even watching it was illegal in response to us originally telling her we weren't racing. We got away with a warning, but if they even get your license plate # you can lose you license even if your car is parked on the side of the road not involved in the races. I have seen them ticket innocent drivers 2 hours after the races were broken up, just because they were shortcutting down the industrial park road that the racers typically use.
Lastly, it really doesn't matter that he mentioned that location. It is a strip of road that has a adult bar, a mcdonalds and a grocery store. It is right off I-95. Alot of the people more or less meet up there to go to other spots to race, that specific road has too much traffic. The cops know about it, they also know about the 15-20 places people race every Friday night throughout the city. The problem is that they don't have enough cops to properly enforce the laws when so many people race. The best they do is to swoop in with 10 cars at one of the 20 sites, chase the racers out of the city( they simply return) that is why they have resorted to taking license plates down. They don't differentiate between spectating and racing...all is worthy of losing your license because you are supporting/encouraging street racing. The cops know the spots, they simply don't have the man power to enforce it. They do their best, but against too many people.
Yes bad360, there are way too many stupid kids, I have seen drivers hit other kids as they are running for their cars, way too many inexperienced drivers come out. That is why I stopped racing down there as well. But they don't have a track closer then Englishtown or Atco, so they do what they do regardless. Just my .02

man someone who lived in that area could make a ton of money if they decided to build and run a track. . .

That's it!!

I'm opening a race track in Philly!

That's how i'll become a millionaire :lol2:

LoL, sorry i had too. This kind of post drives me nuts. I think flylwsi said it best.

man and i thought where i street raced was bad...

That's what sucks, they have an Navy base in Willow Grove 20 mins north of the city, they(Navy) had some industrial building/park on Street RD in Warminster. When they left it, it was rumored that it was being turned into a track, but to no avail, as I heard it the neighbors complained about sound...these are the same neighbors that deal with the largest Navy airbase on the Eastern Seaboard...bastards.

yea no tracks roun hurr, head to atco or englishtown n get raped on the admission n racing fees, not to mention 2$ a gallon in gas to get there

see thats what bugs me about stupid kids, they dont know the laws. I know some states make it illegal to watch a street race, let alone race in one. But in most states its not illegal to watch a street race. So your sitting their waiting to watch a race and some cops come up so you run away like cockroaches when the lights in a room are turned on?

And 1 undercover cop? gimmie a break, he wasnt going to do anything more than tell you to leave. Your no badass, look like a scared little 16 year old in mommies minivan.
The law in philly is that it is illegal to watch a street race. I'm not stupid, i'm not 16 and i don't drive my mom's minivan,she doesn't even have one. I'm 18 smart and a good driver/racer. There were 4 undercover cops not one(all in one car). The cops pulled up 4 feet away from us.I don't think i'm going to stay there and have a conversation with the cop...so how was your day officer?! Hey I'm sorry if i offended anybody for giving directions to the place, It was stupid to do that.This is my first forum i've wrote in this topic. My friends got arrested when they tried to take to the copstheygot a $150.00 dallar fine for watcing street racing.Philly really needs a track it's a good way to make money.

man someone who lived in that area could make a ton of money if they decided to build and run a track. . .
Maple Grove Raceway ... NHRA Track ... 30-40 minutes from Philadelphia.
ATCO Raceway, NJ ... NHRA Track ... 30-40 minutes from Philadelphia (I think they even have open tracks on Wednesday nights in addition to weekends).

People do not street race because they lack legal options.
They do it because they lack something else.

yea no tracks roun hurr, head to atco or englishtown n get raped on the admission n racing fees, not to mention 2$ a gallon in gas to get there

Admission & Racing Fees < Fines & Loss of License

Don't get offended, some understand slang and some don't. I understood no problem, I just found the comment he made to be humorous

not in the slightest bit am I offeneded its fine. It seems quite readable to me and others sure it could have been a little better typed but if just found it odd that he seemed so uptight when no one else had a problem.

Meh what can you do :dunno: just type it out, and let those who can read it enjoy and all the rest can just guess what it says

while all this talking is funny, but this doesnt asnwer my post. lol

word to that RAZ
and i told you my thoughts keep away from philly make the trip to NYC they have some crazy races up there.

But if you want to meet a bunch of jerks and probbly get busted near the Airport is where some local races have happened latly

Yea AceSnyper,
I was planning on going to NY maybe this summer IF I get a car soon. But seeing as how huge it is, I wouldn't know where to go to find a local hang out. My cousin down there lives in Queens and I'm sure theres like no place there to race. Maybe If I decide to head down there I'll let ou know and maybe we can have a couple of runs for fun

sounds good mate where you be located at?
Im always up for some fun

And really Caphockey I do advise you keep away from phillys "races"

im in south western ontario, which is a good 9 hour drive to NY but a trip that would be worth it. Michigan would actually be much easier but I don't know many people there and I haven't really heard of major races other than Detriot, but that place is cop ridden.

NYC

sorry it was me who made a thread bout where the races are.cops allready know were it is.they've been racing there for 2 and a half years!not too many cops there.thats why people race there.yeah there are some stupid ass peolpe there but he cars are off the scale.Just last week i seen a skyline,3 supra's,2 RX-7's and a few other sick rides.last week when i was there the cops stoped the races 3 times in 4hrs.I think it's a great place to race.lot's of cars maybe 4,5 hundred and about 100 bikes.again SORRY for giving away the place i was a bum ass for posting it.

Well if you wanna race legally, take it to Atco raceway in NJ, or Englishtown up 81N. If you wanna experience the Philly races, go to the old Vet and look for riced cars and follow em. The cops know all 20 spots down there, so eventually they will get to whatever spot you end up at, so it is a gamble, and there are alot of dumbasses down there as well, but if you've never been, it might be a good time once or twice.

Nice cars there umm ok i've seen few sleepers there rest are trash. I know there alot of bikes I seen people hit sidewalks to run from cops on them lol.

And I havn't went to the races in philly in over a year caues of how bad a time i had not worth the trip.

damn raz thats a hike you got planned I thougth you were down around me and all I was going to be nice and offer you a ride up if you really wanted to go but if you ever want to hit NYC up then i'm up for that they are great there.

I think englishtown is better strip outta the 2.

Yeah, so I have heard, I havn't gotten the chance to hit it up yet though. I heard it was a bit more expensive as well. How much is the entrance fee?

you'd know it's not pink.
if you clicked my name, and looked at my profile, you'd know where i was from.

For the love of pie, you'd pick a fight with a retarded four year old gimp to make yourself feel better, wouldn't you, flylwsi? This is rediculous. The topic isn't that great, but could we stay on topic or just not bother posting? Allright?

I've already deleted three off-topic posts. Every additional off topic post will be deleted. If you have nothing to add to the original topic, don't add anything. Thanks.

yea i was there fri and sunday.. it was crazy i think i saw the gt (was it white?) on sunday it was cop ritten like nobody could get out and line not even at the hess the cops were all over it well actually i think it was only one cop racing back and fourth to hols and then back again. i think it was all rookies too on sunday nobody really new what to do.. the cops came at hols from both sides of the street very scary.. i do agree wit ya tat theres more and more poeple coming down i saw this one older car that was shooting out flames i got that on tape lol.. i think i saw a red gt too did u ever park in charlies next to hess???????what time were u down there?

get lost!!!!

Were you looking to leave already?

when i went this weekend it was off the hook!! there was only one cop going back and forth. yet the one night they almost blocked us off the on cop came fish tailing in... everyone runs and dont even look.. the cops actually make more accidents then its worth... i love it though.. i got some good footage too.. they literally will blow there cars up they dont car they do hold burnouts for 5 mins longer..its great... u have to experience it!!!!!

Wtf?!?!?!?!

i think it was all rookies too on sunday nobody really new what to do..

I think EVERYONE that goes to the big street races are "rookies"...

People do not street race because they lack legal options.
They do it because they lack something else.

Brains?

Huevos?

Coolness?

All of the above?

Cammy01: lets see some of the video you have said you took. iv never been to Philly, let some of the unlucky people, (well, or lucky depending on how you look at it), see what the Philly races are like. and maybe you could even let us see your car. i also find it a little suspiciouse that you wont say what your car is. the only thing i have to guess would be a camaro. (no one else make a comment about me guessing its a '04 camaro. i want HER ONLY to respond to that comment)

Street racing in Philly isn't to bad.Yes there are rookies but theres also some very experienced drivers/racers up there.Every week it gets bigger up there.I don't have a car now but i drive with my friend in his 94' 3000GT. We hit 135mph while racing a 5.0 stang.The race started at the beginning of the bridge and ended up 3/4 down the bridge.I have a friend that has a Skyline and a supra.His parents are rich a got him these cars for his b-Day(18).He has to learn how to drive stick in oder to drive them.We were going to bring them down to the races but the cars are not yet insured.If your down at the races any time soon look out for a red 3000GT,a black Skyline and a red supra.We'er most likely to be parked next to each other.
Dumass cops go around hitting peoples cars and saying they crashed. thats not cool.last week we seen the cops hit a car the car flies and hits a pole.The whole front end is gone.the guy didn't even do any thing wrong..... ok maybe he tried to run but he wasn't racing.I seen a escort get impounded by the po po.That was the first car i seen impounded yet.One more thing if your gooing to run to your car make sure your shoe are tied.This fat girl busted her ass while runing and here friends got cought by the cops for being spectaters and racing.To bad for them.Can't wait till this fri.
