yes its stupid and we all know it is..
I Got My Ass Kicked Lol - darkpuppet - 11-10-2004
yeah, we all drive around doing 180km/h in traffic.
it's stupid no matter how you slice it.... you people wonder why our insurance rates are so high... it's not just companies being greedy asshats, it's people like us who drive like asshats and trash our cars and blame it on a fluke accident, not our stupidity of driving at excessive speeds on public roads.
I'm not better than anyone here, but if you're going to be lured into a 'pulling' contest with a bunch of honda boys/etc on public roads, you're being an idiot.
just like when there are group rides like C7 where people think they want to test the power of their cars... you want to wonder what's damaging the image of the modding community, look no further than those people.
"but everyone does it" doesn't make it better for anyone else. You got something to prove, you want to have fun.. take it to the track.
I Got My Ass Kicked Lol - tdot-zx3 - 11-10-2004
You cant "take it to the track" ... atleast in ontario.
Were you at the track at all this year? Any track? All the roads in are blocked with cops and its a ticket fest. You have a greater chance getting killed with tickets at the track then the street.
The system doesnt work. So you cant point fingers at people who are trying stuff on the street.
*sigh*
Either way.
A pull on an open highway isnt going to kill anyone but himself.

yep its stupid.. but we know.. no one needs to say it over and over.. specially since everyone tried it..
i also know that getting pissed drunk and being sick is stupid.. dont need someone that also got drunk/sick to tell me its stupid.. we are aware

I don't disagree with you that the system is somewhat flawed (in Ontario at least), but I'd rather give up a bit of street racing to earn a bit of respect going to the track.
I mean, the reason they started watching the tracks is because of the inherent problem posed by street racing and the modding community... just because law enforcement can't get it straight doesn't mean that the community didn't do their part to bring it on themselves.
it's like puttig illegal tint on your car, and then getting pissed at johnny law because he's tagging you instead of finding some murderers.... you still broke a law, and you got caught.
Don't you think we'd get a lot less hassle if we gave people less reason to hate what we're doing?
but I digress.. I know where you guys are coming from.. to an extent I agree, but I'm still going to be an asshole when someone posts their street racing adventures.
mods - censor me as you wish.

There shouldnt be any reason to watch the track. It has nothing to do with street racing.
One program wants to get rid of street racers and send them to the track ... The other is at the track waiting for them to impound their cars.
Lol...
When the system straightens up. There will be no more problems. Until then, more and more 'streetracers' are created everyday.
Its the sad truth wether anyone wants to argue. Theres no point pointing at the people, its 99% ALWAYS the system.

I was surprised that wasn't the first thing someone said. Take it to the track. I'd love to. I've been to Mosport a bunch of times (not racing, just watching) and my Dad used to Race an Austin Mini (lol yeah) back in the 70s early 80s at Mosport (and various other places). Always wanted to atleast drive a car around that track, hell ride my bicycle around it would be fun.
Anyway, I'd love to get track time, while it wouldn't really have a point in a stock focus, it would still be tons of fun
A friend of mine last summer got invited by Acura to take his RSX to mosport, they did some training and stuff and gave them a hot lap around Mosport. Sounded like fun. They were supposed to keep up with an Acura TSX driven by some "crazy professional" who just whipped that car around the track. My friend claimed he could keep up pretty well, but whatever.
In the end, it was just a bit of fun that, yes, could have ended in disaster. But such is life. Atleast it was a straight line on a big open highway and not the curvy roads of the Hockley Valley (which are awesome btw though incredibly dangerous if you were to drive much over the speed limit, lots and lost of blind corners, and a fair amount of deaths on the road).
