Street race at the strip

[CheapFuneral]

I went to this weird street race at the strip thing tonight. It so crazy. Their doing rolling starts no lights to times. I just figured it would be a test/tune on a Saturday . So far I've won my first race.


If I die, bury me in my truck, because it's never been in a hole it can't get out of!

years ago went to the I-70 dragstrip...in my Pontiac Sunbird Turbo GT. Was fun as hell! Lost every race!

I love when tracks do stuff like this. I live near Bandimere Speedway (Where the Mile High Nationals are held) and they are constantly doing weird stuff like this. It's even more fun when you can do this type of racing on such a well prepped track too.

I would post some videos but I think I would get the Axe from the forums for street racing in Mexico

Actually the person running the races is fighting to make street racing legal in Florida.

That won't be good. You guys have more open tracks then we have in Cali so we have no choice to go to the streets

Yeah, I get where he is coming from. Why should they take your car and license for doing 0-40 on a non populated road when a random guy starts revving at you... But the issue is doing 100 plus and killing people walking down the street.

Is this real life? Am I really reading this right? Stay off the damn streets if you're going to drive like an idiot. I only say this because I used to be that idiot.

That's because that person doesn't need to be driving like an ass on public streets. It's one thing to take a corner in a spirited manner, but street racing is retarded.

Besides, you're telling me someone who feels their manhood has been greatly challenged by someone revving next to them and HAS to prove their perceived superiority and dominance over the hormone-confused kid in the other car by racing them, will stop at 40 mph? Sure, Vin. Sure.

Come out here then you'll understand why a few of have no choice.. But I've been organizing them for 10 years most of them are all invite only so the safety level is higher then what most people would think. Do I think it's a good idea nope

So it's ok to drive spirited a lone but add a second car and your a horrible person? That makes sense.

And it's not about man hood, it's about having fun. If it was about manhood if only race stuff I could win.

Taking a corner spiritedly isn't quite like driving all out when racing. Let's be reasonable her - I'm not saying I'm Betsy Goodie over here, driving the speed limit every time and not breaking any laws. But, there's a line, past which it's just dumb.

So a little background. When I was young, my friends and I used to head down to 95th street off I94 in Chicago. There were spots where every weekend people street raced. Lots of ricers, but some fun cars would come out as well.

Can't tell you how many times I've seen folks get hurt out there. Crashed cars, run over pedestrians, etc. One time a car got out of control and spun into a row of parked cars. I was standing between those parked cars and barely got out of the way. If I didn't I'd probably not be walking today, or not walking well.

It was fun for us at the time, but I was also in my late teens and very early 20s.

Besides, I never said you were a horrible person, I just said that I agree that even it's a race that's 0-40, then I agree with harsh penalties such as license suspensions, etc. When you're racing someone 0-40 and just by yourself getting onto it a little, I think there's a difference, thus there's harsher enforcement for racing vs. "exhibition of speed" when you're by yourself and just taking off a bit too quick. I've had a ticket for "exhibition of speed" before.

I hate when this stuff gets brought up. Brings out the hypocrite in everyone.

Lol.
