street racing
im a street racer and im not afraid to admit it...opps this isnt S.R.A.(street racers anonymous) club.... but on that subject street racing is not the reason insurances is up its other things not other people...ive gotten pulled over alot and my insurance did nothing but go down over the years (had over 15points on my license at one time) so its not speeding that makes insurance go up...my insurance only goes up for accidents and the only accident i was ever in was when i cop ran me off the raod and then left the seen of the accident lucky for me he called it in (stupid pigs)...
Jim Jims final thoughts if ur going to race make sure ur safe and have fun! |

Not directly, but if teens didn't do stupid **** like street race, the rates would be much lower. TAKE IT TO THE TRACK!

Did I ever say I raced on the road? All I said is I've raced them in the past and I beat them. And for the record, I am not a moderator. I just give people free advice. If people choose to listen to what I say, so be it. If they don't I don't care. I'll try to correct them to a certain point and everyone has the right to say what they want as long as it's posted not to say so.

You can rag on the moron streetracers all you want (I mean the ones who obviously don't value life at all), but there are those of us with brains that still have testicles and actually use them every now and then, and there's nothing wrong with that. I hear so many people complaining about those damn streetracers, then in the next breath complaining about the lack of "real sports cars" these days...you wonder why? We're on a site dedicated to a pretty darn sporty (and fairly quick) car...and some people talk about racing...wow that's weird. |

Well it's still open so I'll drop my experience. I've raced both an STi and an Evo 7, and let me tell you the SVX doesn't have a chance. I took on the Evo in drive, and floored it, and got waled on. I took the STi in 2nd right in the meat of the power band, and he pulled on me faster than an SRT-4, if you can imagine.
All I'm saying is the X doesn't have a chance. edit: motorcycles will never be outlawed because they are too fuel efficient.

No, I can thank people who take unnecessary risks with their cars. While those two are examples, street racing is also included. Motorcyclists are not the only people you should be blaming.
There's a strip of pavement just over 1/4 mile (sometimes 1/8th mile) where you can play with your sports car where your risk of hitting someone is very small, and nobody can randomly pull out in front of you. That little strip of pavement is where you should be holding your little measuring contests, not where you can hit me, my family, or my friends. Anybody with "testicles and a brain" should know that's where you race. People that do it on the streets are lacking one of those, and its not the balls. You will never justify street racing to me, so don't waste your time. When someone close to you gets killed by someone with a ****box and a dream of being Dom Toretto, then I'd like you to pass it off as nothing wrong with that.

You know, where I live, people drive stupid all the time, everywhere. One can't pick out a particular group and say everything is their fault.
If you want to place blame, place it on careless/wreckless people in general. -NFS, on lunch break from work xP

wow, look what this thread has become...looks pretty lame.
in one corner you have the MASR (Mothers Against Street Racing). in the other you have the MFSR (Mothers For Street Racing). in the third corner you have MWWBSR (Mothers Who Wanna Be Street Racers) and in the last you have Landshark and Noir having a drink and laughing at all of ya's . dunno about PA Jimsbaby, but each ticket is a violation. 3 violations = increase in insurance premium in the state of GA. if you exceed a certain number (each insurance company has their own for moving violations and accidents) they have the right to cancel your policy. they'll do it if they deem you a high risk driver. i'm against reckless driving, not so much as street racing per say. drunk driving is a no-no. i don't know about you guys, but every so often when it's nice out, driving to a certain song, having a certain bounce in the soles of my shoes, i feel like punching the gas and going fast. then i get a longing to head up to the mountains and drive up and down some curvy roads with the windows down and sunroof open. do i exceed the speed limit? probably. do i have fun? most definitely. people who street race may or may not have that feeling too, but i'm not going to rag on them, just tell them to be careful and be considerate. also i think autocross tracks and race tracks are fun. sorry, i find no pleasure in dragways . going down 1/4 or 1/8 of straight road really does not seem that entertaining. going off roading, dirt roads, gravel, spinning your car out of control, now that's fun. whoa...did i mention snow driving? |
