Well Today was the last day of school so I spent most of the day at the track. I just got back. I did ok won 4 outta 6 races. I also Talked to alot of people and got some ideas for my Civic. Also on the way home this guy in a Saturn with a huge ass racing wing pulled up next to me and reved the engine. I laughed so hard I was crying. The guy looked at me and said "WTF are you laughing at MFer." I said your car. He got pissed and wanted to race. I said no I'd beat you to bad plus you should keep it on the strip.
This guy was pissed of like no other. He reved his little car again. I rolled my eyes and reved mine just to shut him up. And he did.
He paced me for a mile or two but didn't say anything. Then he got board and turned down some street to follow a bad ass looking stang.

Saturn with a Huge wing?????
What was he thinking?

 

[Joey D]

I don't know but it was a 16 inch Aluminium Racing Wing. He also had close to be an open muffler. It was loud. My car isn't real loud but this dudes car was real loud.

The car was also tan and black with Type R all over the car. Come on Type R is Honda not GM

Well I got my issue of SCC today. There is a real good article about street racing in LA. It's a real good article cause it tells it like it is and has real life people telling about what its like. I really enjoyed the article and if your intrested you should go and pick up a copy of the August issue.

<Looks all the way up>
Wow, intresting thread...

 

[Joey D]

It was but now is kinda dead since well I stopped racing and others just kinda forgot about it.

 

[keeno_uk]

don't mind it seeing all them done up cars to I reckon its pretty class its a shame when wankers decide to nick a car take it there and set it a light it just spoils the whole event

 

[Joey D]

I have a good idea to bring down the street racing boom. In California or something why don't the cops just shut down a strip of street and let cars race if they have proper saftey stuff. It would be like racing on the street with out the risk. I dunno it came to the other night while reading over SCC again and seeing all the tracks that host racing events.

Also can someone explain to me about Aluminum racing wings? Like why do you need a Aluminum strip 16 inchs of the car?

 

[Saleen Man]

That's a good idea, but I don't think the cops would actually do that.

 

[Joey D]

Well the should. Even once a month. It would be so much safer.

 

[Saleen Man]

That's true. But how would you get something like this started?

 

[Joey D]

Good question? Maybe get the idea out there. Like through SCC or another sc magazine. I'll have to write a letter to one of them.

 

[Saleen Man]

You should do that.

 

[Joey D]

I think I just might. It will be a lot safer with the same effect.

 

[Gran Turismo7058]

Go for it man!!!!Then let us see the letter that u wrote then let us see the letter they wrote!

 

[The illuminatiENiGMA]

Some Police Department in California (San Diego I think) sponsers a program where you can race the cops at the local drag strip, or something to that effect.

 

[Gran Turismo7058]

COOL!

 

[Delray Sandusk]

Now that's a good way to keep it of the streets!

Do the cops use their patrol cars, or have they got a few specially prepared cars set aside?

 

[Joey D]

Pimped out police rods.

Imagine a Nissan Skyline police car. With some impressive hp numbers. That would kill em on the strip.

Im in the process of writing a letter.

[Joey D]

I wonder if over in Japan they have Skylines and stuff like that for cop cars???

 

[Piglet]

No, i think i saw a movie once and they had a Toyota as a police car in Japan but i can't remember which one.

 

[Joey D]

A Camery or Demio

 

[Saleen Man]

Imagine speeding down the highway, and all of a sudden, in your rear view mirror, a Demio.........

I like street racing as long as its a long distance not some silly drag race.
