street racing

[Pistolpete]

cmom guys we have all been there, planted our feet, be it during illegal races, drags or are just traffic light hero's!
lets have some stories about passed exploits and what the scene is doing in the States and Canada and stuff.

in OZ (i live in Perth) we have meets for the illegal drags and races every Thurs night outside mackers (how common is that???!)
usually go into the industrial areas where no cars go at night. often gets broken up by cops though kinda sux, pretty organised cause, we just regroup and start over.

cmom ppl stories!!

Sooooooooo many stories I could tell.

Racing a shitstain...er...mustang in the rain, in a construction zone, about 6 inches from a concrete devider...my friend was scared shitless.

Racing an integra down Okeechobee Blvd. in west palm beach with my teacher who was giving me a ride home.

Racing some old, pos eagle talon with MAD mods done to it...every time he gave it gas, the wheels would spin like crazy no matter how fast we were going.

Racing myself, even. Me and a friend of mine went to a strip club that was about 30 min away. I decided to floor it on the way home. Did about 120 the whole way home...made it home in about 12 min.

The stories could go on for weeks, man...prowlers...the little 2 seater Mercedes (slk, I think it's called)...a Ford Expedition (bastard actually did 100!)...I don't think there's enough room here for all my stupid ass stories.

I'm very, VERY lucky I'm not fucking dead.

yes i have a many stories. my favorite is when i beat a prelude that lives in the same town as me and he was talking all this shit on me (he had a flashy body kit and chrome rims, he had CAI and maybe exhaust) and i just whopped up on him. i don't do that organized stuff, to risky. i am just a stop light racer, which isn't very often, i wanna save my engine.

[longlivetheZ]

I mostly just did the stoplight runs, too. Shitstains...er...damn...I always do that...sorry...mustangs, Probes, Eclipses (rs), Jettas, Golfs, Talons (n/a), other stupid shit, etc. I even did the organized thing for a while. MAJOR blast. I didn't race any...my car at the time (86 2+2) didn't stand a snow ball's chance in hell against most of the cars that were there. Had one hell of a time hanging out and watching though...even rode along with my friend in his modded Ford SVT Lightning. It's kinda strange...I hate Ford, don't like V8s, superchargers, trucks, or automatic trannys, but those are pretty damn cool trucks, man.

[ZedEx]

Im not into street racing at all...

Although there was ONE time:

We were cruising around in my ZedX (Just sold one) and here comes Kung-Pow-Chicken in a riced up civic. Flys by us, slows down and starts revving.

My bud Jordan started yelling "Fuck rice!". He asked me nicely to kill this Shitvic.

O what happened next was awesome:

(I stole the Three-Honk thing from the Single-Turbo Zed video by the way, haha)

So I pull up next to him and flash him a three-finger.

They nod... Beep... Beep... Beep...

*Tire burps*

Im pulling way out in front of this guy, and all the sudden I notice he starts catching up to me... Nitrous is all I can guess.

"Then just as theyre about to catch me... The... Twin... Turbos... Kick... In" (haha just messing)

And right as hes coming up on my tail... Lane ends

He goes directly into the ditch at about 115, HAHA.

We just kept driving.

Im surprised I didnt read it in the paper the next day, they bit it pretty bad.

But anyways, i've only had one or two other street racing experiences. But thats my best.

The other one includes me getting whooped by a SR powered S14.

And me almost flying into a group of drunk people walking downtown... So yea. Im not one to street race much.

Any others fella's?

I race a honda S2000, there pretty fast but once turbos kick in its game over. i try not to race but just knowing that i have a tt setup its so hard to say no.

Um...yeah...these are for...uh...fuel mileage...yeah...thats it...save the planet and all...no racing whatsoever...

*runs*

[Antiburn]

Theres no one around here to race. They all have the biggest pos ever. Saturns, stock civics carollas, pretty much over 1/2 of the cars are their parents. I rarely race anyone. I raced a Rav 4 once and a Benz clk 320 or one of those little covertable ones. Ofcourse thats the day I hydroplained into the grass median and cut my tire on one of those reflector poles that they put in the middle. I really dont have any good stories except the rav 4 ran a red light to try and beat me. Thats about the most exciting thing that has happened.

[freakonaleash1187]

i hung out around at organized street racing before and it was a bunch of f-bodies and one wrx. two f-bodies were racing and nobody knew there was a curve after the straight and they were going about 130 and all the sudden we heard a errrhh and boom. one of the firebirds went off into the ditch at 130 and the other did 360's and hit the curb a couple of times. the one that went into the ditch the whole frame was just all bent up. that is the best story i have of organized street racing.

[Pistolpete]

well depending on the weather we get around 200+ people come down and loyter about b4 cruising off to another area. heeps of cars, skylines, wrx's occasional supra or 300zx, 180sx + s13 silvia pretty common, heeps of cars as well as all the aussie muscle cars like Holden commodores (commonwhores) and the ford Falcons. (hey u no what FORD stands for??? either Fixed Or Repaired Daily/ Found On Rubbish Dump, hehe) sorry to any ford fans out there.

some pretty fast cars, few 11 second ones, so obviuously i cant compete cause id would get eaten lol

man i need a new car hey, there is a very worthy charity that is helping kids like me i believe, would anyone like to kindly donate there 300zxTT to the '300zx's for Pete' foundation???

hmmm street racing = fun ..............riiiiiiiiiiiight

[igota20hpweedeater]

well i have done my fair share of racing...i can tell u guys that! I have raced a lot of bimmers, they are common where i live, ive raced preludes (poo-ludes), integras, civics, and volvos.

Ive won most of em except to the volvo with high compression turbos, 300 hp, and to a beastly civic with over 500 hp (i know i should not have metioned that and yes it was very embarrasing..lol)

most of my races start from a traffic light and go all the way up to about 130+ mph.....its crazy!!!!!!

There's a time and a place for everything. I'm not saying it's fun and ok and all that shit to go blazing through traffic, running red lights in the middle of town, even though I've done that...just be safe and smart about it.

I don't know why some people diss Civics so much...I've seen some VERY fast Civics. There was one that came to the little organized hang out thing that I used to go to from time to time that was running 10s........ALL MOTOR.....it made power to...like...11,000 rpms or something insane like that. Granted, it was waaaaaaaaaaay built up and had tons of money put into it...of course...but it was still pretty cool.

Friend of mine was talking to me about how he got spanked by a light blue Civic in his Camaro SS (35th anniv Camaro SS convertable with intake and exhaust...nice car). Turns out that it was that same Civic. Fast little bastards, they can be.

[freakonaleash1187]

civics get dissed a lot because everybody and their grandma drives one, and when one does fall in the hand of a modder, it almost always turns out to be a ricer. but every once in a while, you will find a nice civic.
