rules? there are NO rules.....some people race with respect, and some dont, thats why its called Street Racing. There are a lot of ways to show respect, its the way you drive, just hang around here a couple more days, and these guys will show ya racing with respect :) other than that, i dunno what to tell ya....

There aren't really rules per se but their are few basic pointers I give to every newbie. But remember these are only the ones I follow you in no way shape or form have to follow any of these.
1.Never Race In Traffic (This is the big one and the obvious one as well)
2.Never Race Where There Are Hazards (Ice,Rain,Cones,Parked Cars)
3.Never Assume A Spot Is Not Being Watched (The 5-0 are sneaky you should be too)
4.Never Assume A Racer Is On The Up and Up (Remember you are breaking the law and so are they)
5.Never Race When Your Gut Says No (Your gut is always right)
6.Never Show Off (It can bring a world of hurt down on you and your ride)
7.Always Listen And Learn (Many have raced before you and have knowledge you might like to know)
8.Never Assume Your Faster (That Olds may have a big motor hidden under all that rust)
9.Rice Or Race, Don't Mix The Two (This doesn't mean your Race car can't look good and your Rice can't be fast, just stick to purpose to start off with)
10.Try It All (Race as many cars as you can in as many cars as you can)
11.Have Fun (Remember racing is supposed to be fun, not a chore)

street racing =is equivalent to =street fighting
only rules are the ones you live by
and street fighters usually leave innocent people and crowded areas out of the mix
of course, in street fighting you can't really give the guy a thumbs up for a good run

There's a rule to this forum, dont take offense to anything rice(er) says and dont feel you have to defend yourself to him, you're putting yourself below the village/forum idiot.
The only rule i could think of is use common sense and dont be a jackass.

watch what you are saying man..
Man shut up. He's telling you what to do when you are out on the streets. Try not to be so single minded. You asked the question. He was just giving you a short and simple answer. And really, don't mind what ricer has to say. He's learning just as you are. He's not exactly what we would call all knowing when it comes to street racing. He knows the basics, and that's really what you need to know.
And truth be told, don't take an attitude towards the mods unless you have a perfectly good reason to, or you don't see something that's fit. Mkay pumpkin? K good. Now play nicely with the other chillens.

they also showed 2 cars were racing they were like 100+ mph. they passed infront of the camera and right behind of them a cop. busted. and 6 months suspended licence. l miss u Europe:D

-Double clutching is pushing in the clutch after you have hit the desired gear to let the motor rev, then dropping the clutch back out. Usually works better in slower cars, wouldnt suggest it unless pinks are on the line
-Speed/power shifting-Never letting off the throttle, whenever you clutch to shift*You better be able to shift hella fast and not miss a gear
Also not recommended unless pinks are on the line

Power shifting plays hell on shift rods if you cram gears to hard in my experiance but will shave off a few tenths if you can do it right.
I know what you're talking about with the rules.
Say someone with a slower car wants a few lengths to win in a money race ( I know it sounds like the show pinks but I have seen it done years before that show came out). Most of the time when there's money on the line I would back away very fast and never ever play with those guys\gals again, money on races= hard time if you win or lose.
Like everyone else said just have fun and play safe.

double clutching is useful for downshifting
say your on the highway, 5th gear (or 6th) just cruising. someone pulls up to you wanting to race. if you double clutch to 3rd gear, instead of skipping gears altogether or downshifting without matching the rpms, it will help out your synchros
correct me if im wrong tho

replied to double clutch in driving techniques
I know people hardly ever race for pinks, I chose those words because you better be prepared to ruin/lose your car if you want to employ those driving techniques

I thought powershifting was not letting off the gas while you shift
speed shifting was not using the clutch.
I havent tried not using the clutch, but I would imagine its not very good at all for the car.

Yeah, double clutching is for downshifting but I usually let the car decelerate on its own to where I know I can comfortably single clutch into that lower gear; otherwise, if I have to slowdown faster, I use the brakes, rev-match, w/e...
Speedshifting/powershifting or w/e you want to call it is not smart without the clutch. Then again if you have a good clutch that you can stomp between gears it helps... Just to add... you can shift without using the clutch if everything is working properly and you know the "sweet spot" in your rpms whereby you can slide it right into gear. I wouldn't do it while flooring it or racing though...
BTW, those 2 "rules" above about "trusting your gut" and "not racing in traffic (or bad weather)" are the best...

I think one rule most people in this forum can agree on is you never in danger anyone NOT involved in the race.
Off-topic:
I think racing for pinks is a F&F thing. Does anybody hear actually know anyone who has raced for pinks?
Why would you race for pinks anyways, what’s the point of winning a car that’s slower then the one you’ve got now and might have something wrong with it. If I’m going to race for something it’s going to be cash.

True, but if the car is beat from racing or has a lot of mods your going to have to part it out to get any real money out of it.

here's a tip, at leats around here, there is no street racing like you see in the documentaries on tv, those guys are nuts and i don't understand them at all
i guess they have to pay the bills or lose their car or something
i believe everyone here is just in it for fun
so have fun
and racing for pinks was for back in the day when all you had to do was hand over the title, there is too much paperwork associated with that now and crap that it is unlikely anyone would race for pinks and if they do, they prolly lack the comprehension to fill out much of that paperwork
Gas money or bust
