Va People!!

Where does all the street racing happen in Virginia?

the only places i've been to was in Goochland bunch of red neck fuckers and southside, there was a thing on the news about street racing in southside

I hear alot about this place called Metro? There are many metro stations in VA which one is it??

yeah i heard about that too,a guy here told me about it.when you say stations what kind of stations?:confused:

the metro stations?
there parking lots?
thats where they race

No no no...Metro is actually in Maryland. It also goes by the name 50. It's exit 19a(I believe?) in MD off I95. The name metro is b/c it is near the Orange Line New Carrolton station. It's not at the station, just near it, on some long straight strip. It's ok, but not really racing. More like a late-night car show, b/c it's way to cop infested for there to be any real racing. Maybe like 1 - 5 runs a night, but that's it. A lot of nice cars up there though.

alot of racing goes on in Harrisonburg. i havent been there to see it but some of my friends have and they said its bad ass!!! they said its was almost like the fast and the furious cause there was so many people there. alot of people race in richmond too.

we almost got busted last night but the cops just said for us to go home,i dont have a licsenes either:D

Chantilly, VA is huge now. If anyone ever wants to go, just let me know, its a hell of a lot of fun.

A lot of racing in Harrisonburg? I got to JMU in Harrisonburg - its true, there's a lot of cars rollin around here, but to be perfectly honest, there's not much racing. Most of the 'racing' is done by high school kids around here who basically just cruise the streets from Sheetz to McDonalds, and back to Sheetz again. Usually 2 or 3 of 'em. At McDonalds, every now and then one will go around the block as fast as he can, but apart from that, it's nothing special. Every now and then though you'll get word up here that some of these guys go out into the back roads to race. But it's nothing like F&F. Sorry to dissapoint you.

Naturally, I'm not the be all and end all of the street racing scene in the 'burg, but I have been here for 5 years, and drive a LOT. So I think i'd know.

JMU, however, DOES have the Madison Motorsports club (http://orgs.jmu.edu/mmsports) , and every now and the JMU actually allows them to autoX in on of the big parking lots here. So that's pretty tight.

If anyone wants to correct me on the scene around here, please feel free - i'd love to find where you guys go around here.

Talk to you later

they actually go outside of harrisonburg to raliegh springs near the national forest to race. its on a 2 lane rode thats like 55 mph. kinda dumb. a shitload of ppl went up there this past weekend. i know there was a eclipse up there that looked like the 1 in the F&F but this 1 was red and white

I think i know that eclipse - or maybe it's a similar one but not the same. The one I'm thinking of actually i think is some weird colors but not red. Anyway its got the F&F pointing fingers decals on it, and a lot of Mitsubishi stickers on it, but on closer inspection, one might notice that, in fact, it's an eagle talon. And all the decals are starting to peel off.

Anyway, is this place you're talking about out 33W from H'burg towards WV? Interesting...

I live around that area too, and work in Harrisonburg. There isnt much racing in that area just on occasion a few cars might run on the outskirts of town. Theres a few around the area just east of H-burg.. Where a few racers run every once in a while. Check out Staunton one time they have some souped up cars up around that area on the strip. Might get lucky and find a few racers there.

i live right outside of staunton and thats where i cruise. yeah there r some pretty nice car that come out. its kinda dumb to race on the strip cause the cops r a$$holes. they will pull u over for anything they can

im in staunton i goto mbc...sorry to say but staunton sucks and im transfering in a yr:(

Once I'm out of school, I'm gonna be moving up to the DC-Metro area... no i'm pretty sure there's no place actually in the city to race, but I imagine there's somewhere a little outside of it.... anyone know where? (even in MD... doesn't matter)

Also, how about legal drag strips in VA? I know there's an auto-x place in/around Staunton, but drag strips? The only place I know of is in Frederick, MD... and I don't wanna have to drive all the way up there just to get my lastest quarter times...

VA cops are cracking down on street racing check this NBC news report on it. Be careful

man that news report is a bunch of bull. just cause we have tachs or mufflers doesnt mean some of us r racing

some dude told me that passed a law in dc that said you couldnt have stuff done to your car. Might be a bunch of hype.. but I think its a bunch of bull myself as well.. Its a Constitutional right, people are allowed to express themselves in ways of there car.... I guess the stupid government thinks if you put a wing on your car your going to go out and drag race all the time.... FOOLS!

Well I tell you what I got pulled over by fairfax county police for "bulb blown on license plate" and so I get out of the car and he tells me that " We dont like you street racers, you come out here with your little hondas and the mufflers and you think your fast. We love to pull you guys over."
So you can see the mentality of the Fairfax County Police.:rolleyes:

it pissed me off when some of the stuff we have is 50 state legal and then we get in trouble for it like mufflers. i guess Virginia isnt a state anymore

you're absolutely correct, Virginia is no state it's a bunch of crap in my opinion, radar detectors are illegal and too many damn taxes in VA, that's why i moved to florida, hell i don't even have to get a county sticker anymore or a state inspection! :D

You guys should come down or up to Fredericksburg, VA! They have this place called "The Lot" its a commuter lot thats open to show your car off every friday and saturday night. Cops don't bother us at all sometimes cop are there showing off there cars. If you want directions e-mail me at [email protected] or call me on my cell if you know it.

where the races at in hampton roads?

Broad street in richmond isn't that bad. I don't know of a particular place where everyone hangs out but if you cruise someone will pull up behind you and wanna....
There are actually a lot of base model civics running around broad with motor swaps. Shoot, I had 3 civics try to race me within 15 min on Sat. They can't hang but its fun watching them try :)
Fredricksburg sounds cool. If anyone from here wants to cruise up there on weekend let me know.

broad street is a sweet place to chill. its been a while since ive been up there. its like 2 hours from me. everyone still hang out at RMP?

I haven't been to RPM yet. It looks like most people hang out at a huge new target on broad, that and cruise up and down the street.
Staunton sounds cool, i wanna go there one of these days. Where do you all chill there?

staunton is ok. the cops have gotten really bad in the last couple months. my friend got his car towed in the middle of the day. most of the people chill up on Ames hill. until u get ran off. then we all go to Sheetz. they dont run us off there cause they like the business we give them. all they say is if we make a mess then clean it up. one place i really like to cruise at is Lynchburg

This is an OLD street racing spot, been used since the 60's. 33 goes from va to wva lots of racers have died here over the years. The races were traditionally very early in the morning 2-4am........Very dumb

I knew it would happen sooner or later.....I am pretty sure from what I have heard that one of the victims died....

nice going riceboys and girls......

riceboys and girls....

idiotic and retarded statement.....please don't bring ur BS here....happens everyday....

Get over yourself dude. Someone freakin died here---and a jackass RICEGIRL_STREETRACER was to blame.....as was the RICEBOY--STREETRACER she was racing agianst.

If it makes you feel better call them streetracers but fact is they were both ricers. I have seen both of them running around before and dozens of other ricers running around town crashing for the last 8 years....No, they arent the only ones who crash or injure innocent bystanders but, they are the only group that consistently drive like buffoons as a group and as individuals..........

What "we" dont need around here is a passe attitude towards people getting killed from illegal racing.

people get killed walking across the street......people get killed in legal races, people get killed in illegal races.....i never said that the tards racing on the street were right for racing....but ur bringing up this subject IN THE WRONG THREAD. if u wanted to make a point....u should have started ur own thread and not bring back a thread from November

This thread is primarily about racing in and around harrisonburg VA....The accident in the article took place in harrisonburg VA..... on the same road that people were talking about racing on no less. Route 33

So, Why should I post it in a new thread and link it to this thread when I can put it here in one convienent place for everyone to read and think about???

People die doing stupid things everyday---no doubt about that. People die doing totally mundane things everyday---no doubt about that. But, when people die because you want to race your car on the street that is just stupid. You might just start to get it when someone you know and love gets killed by someone being stupid.

The point of the story is that even at 3:30am in a relatively small town on a sunday night......there is still a risk to innocent bystanders from streetracing. If you do something stupid that only endagers yourself then fine but when you put other peoples lives at risk you have overstepped your territory.

riceboys and girls....

idiotic and retarded statement.....please don't bring ur BS here....happens everyday....


Look, people starve to death everyday under the tyranical rule of corrupt leaders. Kids are abused and beaten everyday at the hands of bad parents. But that doesnt make it ok just because it happens everyday. Sure, sh*t happens but it doesnt always have to.

as i say again...if u wanted to get the word out....should have started a new thread....there is a reason noone posted in this thread since 11-22-03.....the subject is over and done with.....if u wanted to educated people on the accident and the "ricers" racing then make a new thread.

I live in Chantilly Va and know the scene here pretty well, it's useless... NO Radar, no nothing, soo many f-ing unmarked cop cars. I've seen a camaro race another car then turn on his lights... Now that sucks! so I wouldnt race anywhere especially not in fairfax county. It's a commonwealth meaning that there are about 30 aging blind people who decide the fates of everybody else. Stay clear of VA. :disappoin
