probably, racing should be done on the track, or a really big empty parking lot. street racers are why i get pulled over for no justified reason.

That's so true Supramonkey. I hate people who street race and the fact that they spent all their money on making their car look like butt fudge its even more anoying. A car club yes now then I can understand a "worthless" bodykit. -Just parking their car on the mall's parking lot and opening the hood to all the Ebay knockoff parts and autozone neon lights-. Racing? The *** can barely get around traffic and he wants to go racing! More like Riceing and messing it all up for us Sport compact guys. How? by doing what they do best. Crash their shity cars and be on the evening news.

Same thing happened here. Two idiots crashed into an irrigation ditch "Yes here in New Mexico we have those." They were "riceing" on a Trans Am GT and Grand Prix. Aparently they couldn't find the brake pedal on the sharp turn cuz both idots went into the ditch and left their cars on a 9ft deep trench. Everybody got hurt but the driver of one of those cars had to be air lifted to a hospital cuz he wasn't wearing a seat belt. "SEE! how they mess it up!" Leave racing at the track and leave riceing on the mags. Thats all.

It would be absolutely ridiculous to even entertain the idea. If you don't understand why, then turn your license in right now before you or one of your buddies kills somebody. If you do understand why and go through with it anyway, then you all deserve what happens to you. Unfortunately, the innocent people who get injured or killed because of the people want to act like fools don't deserve it.

I'll get off my soapbox now...

Take it to a track if you feel you have something to prove.

at the risk of incurring a flame attack... i'd like to say that *most* street racers suck. people who know what they're doing (ergo, have been to a track more than once or twice in their life), who have good enough car control skills to not crash into objects or other vehicles, and who have the common sense and politeness to use roads with almost nonexistant traffic at times when most other people wouldn't be driving aren't nearly as bad.

with that said, the stupid racers (who own completely stock non-performance oriented cars and can't drive to save their lives) and stereotypical street racers (impractical body kit, high-powered-but-likely-highly-unstable car, enormous wing, and little else) who thinks burnouts on street tires actually increase their adhesive properties, and are only concerned with who can win in a straight line are, i agree, by and large dangers to society. i personally knew several people who totaled cars and/or were injured seriously as a result of those antics.

im ashamed to say that i went through that phase several years ago, but quickly realized how idiotic it was after one of my friends totaled his parent's car. thankfully i wasn't involved, but it give me quite a reality check. so, general rule of thumb: don't drive over 7.5-8/10 on public streets, and then only if there isnt anyone around. save the last 2/10's or so for the track.

now, back to the question at hand: if you want to make an amateur *track* racing team, i think that's a great idea. if you go with a group of friends, i've found that you can have just as much, if not more fun, than going alone. that, and you can bounce ideas off of one another if one of you is having trouble with a particular technique.

the day after the Z got hit I woke up really pissed off and just got up got my shoes and clothes and went driving the Z. I heard the sounds of fart mufflers near by and went after them and I found them all on different parts the main road. All of them posers around this area and went against them. Usually I would ignore them and go on my way as the came near me but this time I wanted to show some hunting agression. I got behind them and reved my engine. The medium tone of my exhaust roaring behind them as the car sat in neutral. Then again but this time louder as I clinched the steering. The idiots would floor it, but I beat them all, all of them didn't matter what they were z-28's, tibbys, neons, or hondas. They were all trash compared to mine.   In the end I'd traveled 20 miles and wasted all my gas in mindles outburst of power, but I felt good dam good. Now they all look at me on the road and keep quiet. Its a good sound.

I'm gonna feel like a hipocrite... You guys seen the decorative licence plate on my Z. Here in new mexico we only need one so yep... I was chilling at a drive in restaurant with two of my friends. ONe which had to go in the trunk tough. Quite funny and inovating. Well as we were talking on how to fix one of them's truck a bunch of posers came about. I mean alot. They all mad dogged us as we used the Z's trunk for a bench. We were packed in poser trash by 8:15pm. *** out of nowhere comes a guy I know Kevin (ha ha his name is Kevin! is he from the wonder years?!) He says how come I'm not in a racing team. I tell him I am and I only need one car mine. Oh the brabado. He says enthusiastically if he can join. I look at him with awkwardness and say "sure whatever" he then sounds like an executive producer and starts wailing "he's rolling with us...he's rolling with us..." I stop him when he points at an armada. Bewildered and somewhat pissed I say. "They're no DUB's no SUV's and the name Stays" Because he was bitching that he didn't want a "jap" name as he called it on the team. I then stand up and say, bluntly. "If you want to join or any idiot. We don't street race, we don't do bodykits, and we don't act like *** K?" I continue by saying "They got to get real parts and avoid autozone or pep boys, or just keep them stock. I want people who are into cars not idiots who show off and think they're the shittt!" I then proceed by saying we're gonna buy some cones and put them on emty parking lots and do stuff like slalom and driving skill competitions at night. I don't care if they leave frankly I don't want them at all I don't even whan the team. It says motorsports not NFS2. He says its ok. the cars that he got were this and please bare with me. A white tibby with a body kit (why?!) a ford probe with a fart muffler (that's comming off) his BMW M5 (ooooh) and he said more would come. All I know is that Motorsports is heavily implied and no poser would be tolerated. I'm also gonna give them 3 months to get rid of their dubs and get real racing rims (enkei preferably) and real aftermarket parts. They don't have to be all at once just something you know. I'm already saving for an AEM Cold air intake $318 online and theirs should be cheaper since most of them are 4 bangers. No bull just real stuff. Maybe just maybe I can take them to the traks one day...I still feel like a hipocrite, but damnit I can stop the madness....

hey guys long time no see...

Well I got rid of them. Aparently their version of racing is in the freeway and not the track and horsepower comes from a giant sticker of spiderman vs. Venom. Oh well... Who cares *** ingrates started talking back. "But i've spent 2000 bucks on the body kit. what do you mean it doesn't work?" Then they started talking shitt. Then they challenged me to a race. I pointed at transmountain they'd pised me off. Transmountain is a winding mountain pass and I've gone there pretty succesfully on the mercedez and the Z at high speeds. They looked at me with ambiguity (is that how its spelled?) Then came the little hondas with huge wings... "all fear the 1.5" I said as I noted the marings. What I noticed more was the huge wing "What is that? A duck!" They looked at me and called me a hater and left. Then the guy in the Duck challenged me to a race. I pointed at The mountain... They left. They want to street race and show off. I want to go to tracks or empty roads and remain unoticed... Don't team up just stay alone with friends...
