Ok, so last night, i got into a race with a 70's proche targa, some punk kid, not unlike myself. He decided to start revvin, so i was like...why not! So we take off and to my suprise i'm in the lead, now, i dont think an experienced driver woulda lost to my 1.9L, even in a 1970's porche targa, but this kid was giving it all,and still losing!!! So we were both about 80+ in a 35mph zone...Next thing i see...blue and red lights...scared the hell outta me. I woulda lost my license for a long time...street racing, speeding, wreckless driving, and so on...But to my amazement, and and thank God. The cop pulled over the Porche...That's right, after him losing to BMW and all. But it still counts as a kill! |  | | | 04-04-2006, 05:50 PM | #2 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |

Interesting, there was a guy in Vancouver that was deported back to India after being convicted of dangerous driving while street racing. Just remember there are serious consequences. | | | | | 04-04-2006, 08:16 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: New Jersey Posts: 363 |

No joke, he was deported. He was a Canadian immigrant from India, he did not have his citizanship yet. And the law is that if you have or get a criminal record you will be deported. Kind of like the 3 strikes law. There was a lot of attention about it in the press at the time (about 6 months ago). | | | | | 04-04-2006, 10:18 PM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: southern CA Posts: 127 |

Too many f'in idiots these days. It only takes a moment for things to go horribly wrong on the road. Don't mess around!
You won't get sympathy. __________________

hhhmmm, now, well i really dont got much to say. No wait Lets see, you get revved up? And you think about out (something like i said) and decide to go with. HHMMMM. WEll gee, im not being sarcastic but, told ya these things happen and you think about your options. Looks like i aint the only one     And dont come out with the, im just kidding, i wanted to know what others reactions would be cuz u know u raced.
But hey, oh well it happens. Like i said previously, i dont race every day. And ill explain myself since other got closed. When i race when no one is around, thats street. When i race with minable people on the road, thats highway. In highway, im never towards the on coming ramp lanes, im always to the very left. On Street, i try to be in the left lane. So if someone comes out a street, let them hit the guy racing me. Not me. Dont forget, it isnt mean cuz the other guy is also doing something illegal.
BUt yea, i mean, like i said, people race, it happens, get over it. Just dont hate me for it guys. Its something that happens on your own time and your personal time right. Theres things you guys do that other people dont like, but we going to hate you for it? Lets remember that, thats outside the forums. Can we ad a kills thread?  j/k. Thank you for your time guys, and thank you snw. | | | | | 04-05-2006, 12:58 AM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Muncie, Indiana Posts: 1,551 |
Hmm well I had an idiot in a beat up honda dx try to be a real hard street racer today. It was possibly the funniest thing ever.
Well the story goes like this. I was coming up on a clover leaf and I just got my new seats installed and I wanted to see how much support the really had. Well I am going maybe 50 mph around this thing and I started to come up on a really riced out civic you know the deal: no muffler, altezzas, broken aftermarked front bumper, hubcaps, and black tint windows.
Well I am slowing down because he is going fairly slow. He is about 3 car lenghts in front of me and decided to try to brake check me maybe? He locked up the brakes mid corner and starts sliding for a second. Me having 12.5" brakes thought this was mighty funny and idiotic as I slowed down easily and a lot faster than he did. Then I pass him because his car is dead slow as we merge onto the highway he was probably still going about 50, I think he was having trouble getting his speed up after his "brake check".
A few 15 seconds later he flys by on the left in full rice glory! He rolls down his window and yells something about wanting to race. I chuckle a bit to myself and wave him off. Then he tailgates me and once again passes me on the left at full throttle, but it is more loud than actual fast. After he passes me he cuts me off to exit the highway. In conclusion, I thought this persons antics were mighty funny. Except for that fact that he was an idiot and an ass. That is what I do when I encounter "these said things" Maybe some people could learn from this.
How do people wonder why the street racer types get bad reputions? All I have to say is drag stip, auto-x, or track it. | | | | | 04-05-2006, 01:02 AM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 |
well you see. I dont do that to other people. I dont go around looking for the races. What i do do sometimes is, when a guy is being a jerk like that, thinking hes fast and looking at me and dogging me down, i down shift and take off for like a good 10 seconds. They cant catch up, so i stop there. So i just down shift go fast *still speed limit or a little more* and just go for a few seconds, and they cant even catch up. So i completely slow down again and just laugh at them. But they dont even turn to look at me. | | | | | 04-05-2006, 01:40 AM | #14 | | doesn't care about you.

People try to race you because they know they can win, everyone knows 318ti's aren't fast....think about it man, people "rev up" on you because they know you can't keep up. You have a hydro-locked motor that doesn't idle. Give up, sell the BMW and drive the Integra like a good ricer and stop littering this forum with bull**** stories about street racing. The same thing goes for the rest of you little wannabe ricers. If you want to "street race" in your 105whp car, buy a Civic and do it right. If I were Steven, I'd ban each and every one of you little bastards!  __________________
