racing is bad umkay?

[evolutionmovement]

Going over 60 mph will suck the air from your lungs and you'll suffocate.

Steve

[Splinter]

I hear speeds over 80 mph cause cancer

[subawhatsubawho]

I hear speeds over 80 mph cause cancer

Thats only known to the state of California.

[LaureltheQueen]

see sig.

[Splinter]

Eh


I dont like seeing people racing in residential areas, or in urban centers.


Keep it to the highways, or (I dunno if you have them in the states) logging roads.

[subawhatsubawho]

Or you could go to your local track on friday and saturday nights for Test & Tune.

I live close to Moroso so thats where we get our kicks.

Back roads?

i wish i lived near a track with a test and tune. there's a drag in NH but thats like 3+hrs away, and another road track in CT thats like 2 hrs away, but neither really have open nights

[wiscon_mark]

Splinter--if it was a WRX, it would've been a bugeye...could you ID it as such?

[evolutionmovement]

Yeah, psychoreo, Lime Rock's not very open to rentals. The only time I brought my car to New England Drag Way it was packed and I could only get two runs in. That was years ago, but I doubt it's changed.

Local track = 4 hours and $130 away

Living on an island is so much fun

[Splinter]

Back roads?

Dirt roads, with no houses.

I dont like racing around houses, regardless of the time of day.


Besides, by racing on dirt roads, you're essentially using a built-in speed limit. There's only so fast you can go.

[Splinter]

Im not sure... after it got into my rearview mirror it got small pretty fast

[NICO]

city streets at night (4:20) are amazing race tracks, all the lights, bill boards, sound bouncing off walls, steel mills, dips, bends, curves, ramps, man i wish you all lived around me,

my city is like pittsburg with crazy up town, down town, mountins. my cuzin siad the roads that take you up the moutian and down the moutian are like europe roads, so small and deadly.

[snowboarded]

Add me to the mix and we'd have a 4-way.

[subawhatsubawho]

Yall wish you lived in sunny Florida. You can race on I-95 or the turnpike...if the state troopers don't stop you in their B4C camaros.

I did a buck twenty on I-95...It's so fun to see the looks on peoples faces when you pass them in a station wagon going twice as fast as them. But those days are over...
