Let me start off by saying this was the biggest B.S. race ever.

It started one day when someone told me a kid in an old Chevy truck with a 355 was lookin for me. Well I found him and we took it out in the country and raced from a dead stop.

Race #1: I spin in the begining and he gets about a truck ahead of me so I decide to say screw it and sprayed a 150 shot and put buslengths on him like it was nobody's business. Turns out he run's 10.5's @ 65 mph through the 1/8 LOL. I didn't realize how slow it was considering he actually called me out.

Well after the race I talk to him and he tells me I should race his friend's 1986 corvette with no mods. I said SURE . Anyways we go find this kid and we are sitting there and he is completely FRIGHTENED to race me. We sat there FOREVER waiting for him to race. Finally he gets the ***** to come over to me and ask "Is it true you have a supercharger?" I said no just a bolt-on 360ci L98, with a 150 shot of nitrous. Well I thought his jaw was gonna hit the floor when I said that. He was like "150 SHOT?!!?!" I was "Umm..yeah, do you not want me to spray in this race?" He said he didn't want me to spray and we agreed to a race.

Race #2: Well there were a bunch of people standing down by the finish line(which I didn't want but I figured oh well). Another bad thing was this road had a few curves..not the smartest place to race. Anyways we start out and I spin bad and he pulls about a car ahead of me. Then I started gaining ground pretty hard and he CUT ME OFF. I was thinking "wtf?!" I try to kind of go around him and he matches my moves!!! I let off several times this thing was so DAMN slow. So I go past the finish line and see everyone cheering him on that he won. I ask him if he'll race on a better road, he declines, then I go home. Still want a re-match with this clown.

 

Please find a race track for your rematch. You would think that being cut off a couple times on a winding road with spectators at the finish line would be enough to scare you into not street racing again. Street racing is for a holes!!!!! It is people like you that cause laws to be written that could ultimately make it impossible for the rest of us to enjoy the hobby.

Oh shut up, I already said I didn't like it. Why would you even come to a street racing forum and say stuff like that?

 

Hmmmm... MAYBE because racing under those conditions (when you even knew better) was a dumb thing to do???

 

I dont do much street racing, but I have to agree, I would have said look man, i'm not racing with those people down there, or on this crap road, and took myself home.

 

Ok, besides the fact that the road was curvy, and there were people at the finish line.....he still got screwed because teh puss in the corvette could only beat him because he kept on cutting him off. At least he didn't try something stupid and punch it going around him or anything else. I say rematch him if he is willing to do so in a controlled environment (track) or find an area that is straight with no spectators.

 

kick his ***

 

What an "F"ing pole smoker. Tell that kid to have a real race and not some bull**** he saw off of TV. I would have wanted to punch him in the throat. But since I'm such a ***** I just wouldn't have done anything but bitch to my friends later.

 

Bro, thats all you said to him after the race?? I would have smashed his face, shoved a NOS line up his @$$ and hit the f*ckin button. Some people need beatings every now and then, and this momo deserved it! Have some ***** next time and choke him!!

 

yeah um, just tell him thats not a drag race, you weren't playing nascar on street roads.

 

Wow, I would have said a lot more to him than that. And top it off with a punch to the face.

 

This is why street racing has a bad rep, kids with slower cars out there doing whatever they can to win and killing other people. We had an accident on a winding road near my house where one kid lost his life, and an innocent women lost her legs. Sounds exactly like the race you just went through, and now your going to run him again... I guess I call it natural selection, just as long as noone innocent gets hurt, I dont care!

Street racing on a deserted back road, between two cars in a straight line, with two experienced and smart drivers is not the same as this story you posted. Its a shame its always the kids racing that walk away, and the innocent people going home after work that get killed (same with drunk drivers).

 

You street race too much it seems....

And you always start out with, "Well I spun real bad"

One I wouldn't race that much on the street (especially with bystanders at the finish line), two I wouldn't race that kid anymore, and three he would have gotten his *** kicked for making a life threatening decision.

 

Yea you might want to fix your traction issues or work on your launching. Spinning seems to be a problem for you. It was stupid to race on the curved road in the first place, the only good thing is that im guessing the road was blocked off by the finishing lane. If you race the kid again, please make sure he knows to stay in a straight line. But it was a very BS loss. Im glad you can control yourself, i probably wouldnt have been able to if he did that.

 

I would have stopped racing if someone pulled that ****... Umm try to calm it down a bit and learn to drive your car... You shouldn't spin the tires more than two the three rotations if that. launch around 2200rpm and go from there.

 

I forgot to mention that once he started with that bull**** I would have just stopped. ****er

 

Oh wow I raced one time with by-standers at the finish line and I came to a stop by the time I got to them anyways. You can't live your life worrying "what if." I believe everything happens for a reason, and if I was meant to die street-racing...it would be natural selection.

 

If you want to die street racing, more power to you. The problem is, you're more likely to kill someone else. The people that stood at the finish lines are idiots for standing there, but i doubt they arent thinking "what if" he loses control and hits us. All it takes is one mistake. Im sure you would have a hard time explaining "it happened for a reason" to the cop when you're arrested for man slaughter.

This might be a slight over exaggeration of the event, but its very well possible, especially when you're racing an idiot.

 

Omg you're so ignorant to what i'm saying. For one, how can I kill people at a complete stop in my car. I came up there and STOPPED because I thought it would be dangerous flying by at 125 mph.

Another thing, I never claimed I wanted to die street racing. Why don't you just trash other people's stories by saying the same thing to them? Atleast I was racing in the country, unlike half of the people I see racing going through street lights with rush hour traffic.

If you're so worried about danger, maybe you should take up another hobby like sewing.

 

Another thing to everyone else. I did originally ask him if he wanted to take it to the track. Apparently it's his grandparent's corvette and they won't let him. This road wasn't a WINDING road either, it had one slight curve that I still wasn't comfortable with. That curve could safely be taken at high speeds, but I just didn't want to be side-by-side while doing it.

I don't street race too much either. All these stories I have posted all happened within the last 2 years, and I just now decided to post them all. Come to think of it the closest call I've ever had was AT the track when some dumb ***** lost control and about took me out and ended up hitting the guard rail.

The majority of my races are on a deserted country road anyways. This was one time and I didn't put anyone in danger considering I stopped where the people were standing. If you guys could see the road you would know what I mean, it's not dangerous, but I still don't like it, and won't ever race there again.

 

"Oh em gee" Im ignorant but you decided to keep racing someone who is trying to cut you off? Everyone here seems to agree that it was a stupid move on you part as well as the other guy. But i'll stop before the thread gets locked.

Dangerous? I'll do danger when it involves me risking my life, not that of others. Even if you didnt put the ppl at the finish line in danger, what about if you hit the guys rear corner and spun him into a tree. But being so concerned about other ppl wouldnt make me as hardcore as you now would it?

 

You still don't get it...oh well you're not worth my time.

 

NO you don't get it, thank you for keeping our insurance high asshat.

 

i wouldnt have raced with a bunch of people around, but this kid seems like a real ***** job for swerving all over the road, sounds like he is the one who didnt care if he hit someone.

 

You guy's are out of your minds!!! How am I keeping insurance high??? I didn't even do anything more or less wrong than any of the other stories on this website. It's not like there were people EVERYWHERE there were some cars parked like a mile down and by the time we got there the race was over...

 

i was talkin about your opponent

 

Exactly why are you all attacking me...?

 

Actually insurance rates are based on the dollar figures of damage caused per accident. Coincidently, the cost of crashes increases with sports cars. Many other factors also contribute to your rates, such as age, tickets and the company's general stance toward your vehicle (some charge a premium for driving a camaro or firebird).

The way he told the story, it didn't sound like an unsafe road.. but what that kid did was ****ing stupid. Should have punched him in the throat kyle

 

Agreed, but how are accidents caused? By either not paying attention or doing stupid stuff. I do agree that the other kid was worse BUT if there is a single doubt in my mind about a race, I'll never go on with it.

 

To each his own

 

Thats true. I don't know. Street Racing has too much to lose for me. In Florida, the law is pretty rough on it. Plus even if you do win, its your word vs. his. Like someone said before, theres no getting around the slips.

 

i never street race for cash, just bragging rights. If it's for cash, best to take it to the strip. The slip won't lie.

 

Not really. Insurance rates are based on many things, that's one of them, but it's one of many.


Original poster, sure you weren't doing anything wrong, until you crash, in which case every single action you took was wrong. I could name them if you'd like.

 

Yea florida's laws are so tough on street racing that it was in my city's paper a couple of years ago. It showed a guy getting arrested and pulled out of his yellow srt-4. They're getting strict on it here too.
