Street Racing Wrecks

[FoUrDoOrWhOrE]

so back in 2007 right before i was moving out to utah i had a 91 ls with gsr swap on the bottle, well on a friday night we had huge cruz nights so me and my crew were just rolling over there like every other friday night (this night was different because i was selling my da kid already gave me a grand for down payment) well a few blocks for the place we hang out some kid i always had beef with pulled up next to me and was running his mouth  saying i was selling it cause it was slow blah blah blah so i lined up with him light turned green and i sprayed the shit outta of the car and blew his doors off, turned my head to see how meny cars i had him by and..... then i remember being in cuffs

i guess the point of my lil story is street racing isnt cool i lost car my freedom and that grand for nothing more then bragging rights and because i was stupid and raced this dumbass the lady i hit ended up having a stroke and has never been the same since i still think about that shit every day

this is of the night it happen

and these were from the impound yard

[deeA]

[FoUrDoOrWhOrE]

^^^ thats kinda the point of my story

[Travis?]

i dont know what i would do if i had to deal with the idea that, because of my stupidity someone could have died
glad to hear you learned your lesson man
even better that you are putting it out there so others know tha dangers

[Omido Style]

Seriously, Kudos for learning a lesson, sooo many people will recover, only to do the same shit over again.

Did the lady recover from the stroke?

[FoUrDoOrWhOrE]

im not sure her husband seen me at the impound yard and tried to kick my ass (he was in hes 60s) and i havnt heard anything more on her

its a shitty deal because at a high rate of speed you have no controll shit happens tires blow out ect...

there was a wreck in cali a lady was at a stop light to high school kids racing during lunch one lost controll and hit the driver door she died and he was fine the sadist part was she was 8months pregnent

Lesson learned, DeeA?

You gained a lot more respect in my eyes, ntloenf.

to clarify, street racing in traffic is what makes you stupid

street racing in an industrial park with no traffic on a sunday afternoon is a little different story.

PS I street raced in Seattle for 4 years when Seattles race scene was the biggest in the country. Never saw a wreck that wasnt caused by police showing up, and even then there were only two.

I have never actually seen an accident at the street races, nor do I know anyone who has. Stupid driving and stupid decisions causes accident, with a car in the lane next to you or not.

Street racing is stupid and unsafe all together, I dont care where you are

I disagree, how ever I can see your point on how it would be safer, I believe racing should be sanctioned, and done at designated areas.  RMR is only $7 to watch, and like $20 to compete.  Don't tell me you can afford thousands of dollars in aftermarket parts, but you can't afford the admission price for a ticket.  For any of you "street racers" on here who has never gone to a race track, I invite you to come with me, I will pay your admission, I think everyone should go atleast once, It's just as fun at a track as it is on the street if you ask me.

you never ran at the track omid and you can pay for my ticket ha ha. street racing does need to be moved to the tracks drag,  road race, autox, etc

X2 to that!  I was knocked out at the illegals one year for no reason and put into a hospital.  A nice concussion, 3K medical bill, and the kid that hit me was never caught = me never wanting to street race again at the illegals.

[FoUrDoOrWhOrE]

the only people who will laugh at you are the punks in the stands driving there mommys mini vans

The way I look at running at a track for the first time is this.  Who cares what anyone thinks.  Everyone had to race at the track for the first time at some point and most probably ran even worse then what your car would.  And most of those in the stands have probably never even raced on the track.  Just don't go to the track for the first time with the mindset of wanting to beat each car you line up against.  Be there with the mindset that you want to learn how to actually drive your car and only consider the only "race" to be against yourself.  That being in improving your times each time you race. 

My first time racing at the track I ran a 19.1.  Yeah pretty embarrising.  But I'd had fun and continually improved after each run.  I no longer drag race as I've moved on to getting into road racing and autocross but getting into legal drag racing was diffenitly the start which led me to where I am now now.

first time at the track was in my '85 5.0 ex-highway patrol.  I ran a 17 somethin first pass and a mid 16 on my second pass.  I was catching a lot of guff for my car being slow.  My freind ran it and got a high 14 first run.  not bad for a 130k 5.0 with nothing but long tubes and 2.5" exhaust.  point is I got better, after a few tweaks and about 20 runs I was running mid 14's in a car I had spent about 2 grand on.  going fast takes practice, better to do it in a controlled and legal environment.

just no skill if you race always pay attention to your surroundings no residentials and dont be dumb dont be flyin through red lights or stop signs gotta have your limits or you will get hurt but like there sayin after a while you will get hooked on the track you will eventually even get to a point where its not about beatin the person next to you but tryin to beat yourself by bettering your reaction times 60 foot and over all time down the quarter mile but i will never bad mouth street racing but some people are just not smart enough to race on the street .
