Has anyone here actually street raced before?

Unless you're in the middle of bumblefuck nowhere in the cornfields street racing is for tools. Do it at the strip so if you fuck up you will at least get help

>>14261525
Because who cares about driving in a straight line?
and that shit is expensive

>>14261544
I care obviously. How can you not have fun giving your car the beans in a controlled environment?

On the freeway mostly out of the city

because the other guy passed me then looked in his rearview like a cheeky cunt

yeah but maybe they shouldn't be so fucking slow and in my way

>>14261518
Do you have radio guys on top/bottom looking out for traffic? Seems like you aren't endangering anyone but yourself if you do that.

>>14261544
What the fuck else are you going to do that's actually street racing? Drag racing is pretty much the only form of streetracing there is, unless you're actually setting up a full blown race on a mountain road or whatever with spotters and blockades to prevent traffic from coming in.

I once raced a guy in a riced but probably also performance modded mid 90s prelude. I was in an 80s crown vic with just exhaust..

We raced from a roll after easing into it from a stoplight. We raced over a steep bridge, both letting off right at the top. We hit less than 60mph, and would have had several hundred feet to stop before the first intersection or driveway.

I lost by a moderate but still definitive amount.

Definitely didn't endanger anyone, but could easily have been a cop on the other side of the bridge.

3/10 probably wouldn't do again.

>>14261559
Why not find some roads with curves in them out of town? A race that relies almost entirely on power sounds boring.

samefag

By "a steep bridge" I mean an overpass over a major rail yard, so the "bridge" is at least 50-60 feet higher at the top.

>>14261574
YOU WERE RWD
HOW DID YOU LOSE

>>14261577
It's boring in an underpowered shitbox but in a screaming small block chevy it's fucking bliss

>>14261577
Because there are none in the midwest. And that is essentially what it boils down to, but a good driver can maximize his speed with a good launch and good shifts, compared to a shit driver who breaks traction and/or shifts poorly.

>>14261590
It's still boring
Man what am I supposed to do, there are no curves and it's just dumb stoplight shit
I'm so sad
I don't even live in the mid west

>>14261577

racing on the streets in a straight line can be sorta safe in the right situation. Racing someone in a situation where sticking to the corners or not is how you win a race? suicidal.

It will end with one of you either chickening out or dying, which proves very little in terms of whose car is best.

>>14261629
You know who you are.

Only time I raced was in a private gated community against my friend. It was just a quick pull from the stop sign. It's fun hooning next to multimillion dollar houses in a place where people pay to avoid people like me.

>>14261697
I've always wanted to nig out in millionaire community. Decrease their property value by laying down some rubber.

>>14261697
rich neighborhoods have curvy roads around me. best places to fuck around. friend used to live in one and we would usually take a car and do laps of the way without a lot of stops

>>14261475
I've only had one race from the lights, got my shit pushed in by a Chevy Cobalt SS. But i've had a few races on the highway, those usually went better because engine power isn't as big of a factor.

>>14261730
Would upper-class fags call the police on you for making noise though?

>>14261697

One time after school I raced some punk with his daddy's sports car in an unfinished housing development.

There were no occupied houses and everything was still under construction except the roads so there wasn't really danger to anyone but us.

He tried to force me off the road, but after smashing through a partially framed house I came back out in front. He lost it in a corner and ended up totalling his dad's car.

What really sucks is the police seized the recordings of the race and wouldn't give me a copy of it. Now with the legal trouble mom is making me go live with dad.

>>14261713
Did donuts in all the culdesacs of a mansion community near me in a 98 540i. Middle of the day too.

>>14261758
You're stupid if you stick around long enough for thatbto happen. If you're stupid enough to get busted for hooning or racing it's for the best. It's not for you.

>>14261758
probably. friend didn't really care and he was about to move too. I know we definitely pissed off some old people who yelled at us when we passed.

At least until about 100mph and then he vanished into the distance like I wasn't even moving.

It's not wangan style highway carving novabro.
I understand drag strips are fun, but there's something grand about going on a highway carve for a few hours with your buddies.
Sometimes my friend and I will dance (switching lanes around eachother and overtaking in a constant figure eight like motion)
it's great fun and helped him get comfortable actually moving around at high speeds instead of holding the same line.
As for "racing", eh, I don't do much of that, we rarely break 130, and the actual roads around here aren't very nice on your car at the speed limit, let alone at 80-90.

I used to street race a lot when I first got my licence and was learning to drive. I'm 22 now and as I get older im more focused on being a perfect driver and getting maximum em pee gees than actually being aggressive.

I think everyone goes thru that racer phase and it makes you a better driver in the end. I know the limits of my car now and I know my limits as a driver. These 2 things result in a much safer and more confident driving experience now.

>>why did you do it

>>did you feel you were putting others in harms way
No. The only others who could possibly be in the way or hurt are the person you race, and they put themselves in "harms way"

All that being said, I don't race much anymore. There's no point. Theres other v8s around that race sometimes, sure, but i havent run one on the streets in years that came close. The only cars around here that really pose any kind of challenge are the new SC corvettes, and the owners are either old, don't race, or don't know what they're doing. I'm not saying I'm God or anything, I've just had my car for a long time, been racing for a long time, and replaced anything and everything on it that broke with either a heavier duty or a higher performance part. It's an addiction.

Maybe it's time to get a beater and start over.

Its a really really fun car to drive, it's got that "feels like 60 in a 30" feeling.

>Where did you do it

Winding backroads at night, so you can see oncoming cars and because the roads are as close to Touge-like you're going to get. Some straight aways for 0-60 fags and corners for people who can actually drive.

>Why?

Someone tries to buzz you on roads you drive alot and so you go faster and faster until you decide to race, or talk with other car-fags and eventually the only way to settle who is better is to lay down some speed on the roads.

>Was I putting others in harms way

I scared the fuck out of a ford when I came around a corner sideways but I know the limits of the car, even when I was racing I very rarely went beyond the limit and I was going late at night on backroads.

I've had some near misses but it's worth the thrill, only idiots race in residential/busy Urban or Highways. If you do it right you shouldn't be running into traffic or especially police.

>>14264051
So you won because of superior rwd

>>14264065
I've done it in FF and FR.

The slide around a corner was done with FF when I put too much weight on the front to deal with understeer and I was going the fastest I'd been so my braking was a bit too hard.

Most people are pretty scared to commit fully to a corner on the road but as long as its night time in winter I don't hesitate unless it's a particularly blind corner since you can see full beams in the sky or through the hedgerows.

>>14264086
you cant go sideways in fwd

>>14264107
Well call me a fucking magician because I managed it, maybe it was icy, maybe there was oil on the road but the front of the car was sliding around with a steep angle and nearly a full lock of countersteer.

fwd isnt good for racing
there's no way he actually did anything he said
theres a reason initial D , overrev, wangan, mainly used RWD

>>14264136
FWD was fine for street racing honestly, most people are extremely bad at taking corners and don't even push their car to 60% never mind 85 or 90% of their grip.

As long as you know your car and your area you can destroy much faster or on paper better cars depending on the route obviously.

I've left cars much faster two corners behind because the drivers are either scared to go at the pace or don't want to trash their much more expensive car - can't blame them.

The problem with street racing is that it's so hard to get a race.

If you want to actually be able to go for a full on race you have to go late at night, even then you won't find many people chucking it around the local driving roads at 10-11pm waiting for an opponent so there's a long time between races unless you organize them yourself.

The problem is in the UK all Facebook groups etc are monitored by the Police, whilst they don't care about small rave parties, a bit of weed etc they'll show up in force if you do anything they think they can make themselves look good for stomping.

If you wanted to street race properly you need marshalls to monitor the entry/exit points to the race to signal if any traffic arrives, you need police watchouts and you need crazy people. None of those are in high supply and the Police have something really lucrative to bust, even if its just your 19 year old numbnuts self and friends they'll bust it and call it a street race gang and get a nice promotion.

This was around 2000 man.
Quay St was a full scale drag strip.

You would just roll along at 40, someone pulls up... Civic? on ya bike mate. They cain off.
Then something interesting would come along.
Maybe it's that GT-R Familia you saw earlier. Or the BBK Samoan in the Evo 0 VR4.
You just look, nod, then fucking hammer it.
You wanted to see how your car would go against these other JDM monsters. There was limited internet info, so you just didn't know how quick a modded GT Starlet was, or a GTiR...

People were doing 200kph++

NZ was the only country taking Japanese imports at the time. We had EVERYTHING JDM, and it was all cheap as.

There are couple mountain roads around my area so sometimes when you are one them you may run into people. Its happened to me 2 or 3 times. Nothing too intense but it's always really fun when it happens.

It's not a bad thing per say but why spend all that money? Where i live we have tons of racers so every night we just cruise until we find someone and go at it wherever.

when we have a bunch of people we take over the backroads and block em off and race but if its only 1 on 1 we usually just go slow in the middle of the city until theres enough open road ahead for us to fly

At most your hooning for 50 seconds then getting the fuck out of there. If your smart you do it on inconsistent days at different times at night. Sometimes I catch the cops coming twords the mountain trying to find out who was hooning and I just drive past like nothing happened. It also helps that I have summer tires and I don't have a loud aftermarket exaust.

Just last night went around the same area and some street racers got caught, Focus RS had been pulled over and a good 30-40 people and 7-8 cars managed to escape.

Cat and mouse is the only safe way to street race on the touge. With my friends if you go fully into the other lane without a good reason its considered a loss.

Rules of our touge. 1. Stay in your lane. 2. Run brights if your speeding to warn oncoming traffic around curves and to spot wildlife. Dim them when you see an approaching car. 3. Never take a line with leaf or gravel debris.

>>14271245
>Stay in lane

enjoy your 30mph race unless you have a LMAOSTRAIGHTS DRAGRACE which is where 99% of cops will be.

>>14271288
You obviously don't know how to drive. I can maintain a speed of 65-70 on roads that have posted suggested speeds of 15 to 25. When every couple of 100 yards there is a curve around the edge of a mountain not being in your lane is stupid. All it takes is some dumbass who thinks they are fast taking a curve too wide and you both slide off the side of a mountain and die. If your car can't hack it then get on those coilover and sway bar upgrades. Or get the fuck out of our mountians flatlander.

>>14271288
you should stay in your god damn lane
never
ever
cross the lines

>>14271327
go take a hairpin at 70mph using one lane so I can laugh at you

>I'm safe because I drive at the absolute limit, but only in my lane!

>>14271333
We have surprisingly few true hairpins in the area because of the way the land lays and the fact that most roads were old logging roads from the horse and buggy days. Now you obviously can't do that because of physics but I never claimed to do able to do this. If thats your speed then you should find somewhere else to do it. Like not on the street. But im sure you know all about driving on mountian roads that aren't animated or computer generated.

4/10 made me reply.

Yes.
I live in Raleigh, we race on these back roads up near falls lake. It is very exciting. We will also have runs on 440 and 540. Mostly in the country.

>>14269253
where do you live?

>>14271403
Plenty of tight turns and chicanes in most cars on the street you wouldn't get through anything past 55 or 60mph even using both lanes.

Most tracks are a decent bit wider than both lanes of a single lane road combined, with far more quality ground and better cambers and there's plenty of corners that aren't absolute hairpins where people in proper cars will go below 65mph using up all track space and the best line.

>I go 65-70 on roads that are 15-25

The only roads listed where I am below 60 are all inner city or residential, to be 20 it has to be a school. Far less safe to race around those on the same side of the road than cut corners on empty road in the sticks.

In the sticks nearly all roads are posted as 60 or 70 but there's no distinction between conditions other than warning signs.

If you're just gonna drive kinda fast at normal times then yeah sure, stick in one lane and probably get 10-20mph above the road speed and more than that on straights, great.

If you actually want to race then go out and find a good route, race it only night so traffic is next to zero and make sure most corners have visibility on the run in or on the entrances so you know if you can cut the corner, there's always going to be a blind corner somewhere but that's up to driver skill.

I mean, you should be doing all of this anyway if you are driving even appreciably fast and if you aren't, or you're hooning at busier times then you're being far more dangerous than someone that goes and prepares properly.

Then even if you do stay in one lane the dangers don't even change that much. What if someone overtakes, what if someone ventures from their lane, pulls out, lorry driving a wide load, tractor, pedestrians, runners, cyclists, deer. The risks are basically identical except for a few seconds window on a corner apex where someone could be coming around.

>>14261574
My 94 crown vic beat some rice bucket 98 civic si. But I'll give it to preludes for being actually decently fast

>>14271980
OH shut up

>>14271904
I said posted suggested speeds. The speed limit is usually 45 or 55 except for a few development areas that are 35. The point I'm trying to make is blind corners are the norm. Thats why you need to stay in your lane. And yes. It doesnt make it safe. But it does reduce the risk of an accident greatly when every other curve is a blind one.

Also even driving the speed limit during the day when its not the dead of winter here is hard because of the tourists and old folks. You pretty much have to choose between guardrails between you and a death drop or tourists.

>>14261475
Yes
Mainly on empty highways and back roads
It was a spur of the moment thing for fun
No, there was no one else.

Generally when I race people, one person rolls up to the other and revs a little. If you both race, generally it'll go until someone gets way ahead, or it's no longer safe (excessively high speeds, traffic, etc).

Got my license a few hours ago and have a race lined up in 2. Do you think I'll win? Are you rooting for me?

>>14272046
If your roads are all blind then yeah I understand

Personally we just run areas without blind corners, very late at night (10pm winter, later in summer) generally with 2-3 dummy laps beforehand to make sure traffic is fine and learn the corners that you can risk it on then we play chase/lead Touge style rather than the classic overtaking style.

Without having Marshalls at the junctions that's as safe as we could race.

>>14261475
I only drive like I'm "racing" when I know I'm the only one on the road. There are only so many places in the middle of flatland, IL that actually has twisty roads, so I do one lap at normal speed to check for cops and other cars, then I turn around and do it again fast. If I see headlights behind or in front I slow down to normal speed and scrap the run.

This has lead me to think of a fun idea for a website; a way to modernize illegal street racing and make it a little safer. It'd be a site where you can post GPS coordinates for a start and end point, along with your fastest time on the "course," with a dashcam / cellphone video for proof. Then other people can post their times for the same stretch of road. It would require something like my own rules for racing above. If you do anything dangerous around other people, your time and video is removed. Would anyone be interested in using such a service?

I had a k20 ej6 while Living out in the country, nice mountain pass setup with not much room for error. At 4 am only thing we worry about are deer. Sure there is risk, but the fun is enough. Its on you if you break centerline and we usually just so cat and mouse style to negate the whole lane hopping thing. We have a nice route we run almost every night thats about 5 miles of solid winding corners and some nice steep hills and blind corners. Its a blast to run and nobody has been hurt in the 50 times ive ran it. Granted it was on the way to me and my buddies house so i had plenty of practice and most people end up taking the interstate that way anyway. All in all location is key, and the only take the risk when you can handle the consequence. But god damn was it nice just hauling ass on some nice backroads with nothing but the sound of the cars bouncing off the trees. I always looked foreard to my drive home as i got off work about 2 am and almost never saw headlights on the entire run. Only seen cops 1 time but he turned his disco lights off almost as soon as he turned them on. This is in Palmyra Tennessee incase anyone cares

>>14271980
a mid 90s prelude won't make more than 20hp (180hp on the Si) more than a 98 civic si (160hp) while being a couple hundred pounds heavier.

>>14273139
do it man
it'd especially help people like me who don't live near any twisties or mountains find hot spots
the only negative aspect is police catching wind and using it as a speed trap to fill quotas and make themselves look like they're cracking a racing gang

>>14273139

>>14273324
>the only negative aspect is police catching wind and using it as a speed trap to fill quotas and make themselves look like they're cracking a racing gang
That's the thing I'm worried about. Even more troubling is the idea of being prosecuted myself under some kind of organized street racing law and getting dick up the ass for 25 years in a concrete room for trying to make street racing safer. It would probably have to require some kind of login system to keep information out of sight from search engines or something, but it'd still be just a matter of time before the wrong person finds out. I don't know enough about the legal aspects of this sort of thing to actually do it.

I went to the street drags east of LA once, way back in the day. It was pretty crazy, a 6 lane industrial area street, completely lined with cars for like a mile, there must have been 500+ cars there.

I've never been into drag shit, though.

>>14273324
Just so you know, quotas are illegal

Street raced in Hawaii a few times. Usually cops would follow us to our spots and check up on us. Got caught once ended up spending $1400 to get out of it.

Moved to Texas last year.
>about to go home
>see guy on bike with gf on back
>waves me to follow him
>well wtf okay
>follow him to somewhat secluded two road
>race on same lane
>pass him once I get top of 3rd gear
>start braking at 100ish
>over the hill comes cop
>get into speed limit of 70
>cop doesn't do anything

Good thing it wasn't a close race, otherwise we probably would have been busted. Plus it was dumb of us to race in same lane and with his gf on back, but whatever had fun no one died.

>>14274677
so is piracy

When i was in high school the police had this speed detecting light up sign that they would move all over the town. We would always put up a score board below it. It maxed out at 99 so the score board was just full of 99s

>>14261557
My buddies and I do this, but it's more of a time attack set up. My buddies roush zx3 has the current record. Only one man on the course at a time. Behind him by 4 seconds is his brothers g37.

>>14273686
It would be true if you knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that anon is white. Honestly, the only way to know for sure his race is if the story involved him being shot by the police in his home and the cops got off scot free.

>>14274712
This is how we always did things back when I ran canyons. Our road was pretty remote and didn't go anywhere, it was easy to see headlights coming from a few corners ahead and we knew which corners were blind enough to not take risks on, and we'd just go up and down and time ourselves. (Later on we started using camcorders and GoPros as well.)

The road is still popular and still run for times there, but the problem is that it's TOO popular. It used to be that hardly anybody was up there, now you're likely to run into traffic that's either also running or is going up there to hard park and spectate.

>>14261475
Where I live if you go any direction except one you hit abandoned twisty mountain roads that the highways made redundant for travel.

Street racing is pretty common because we only have one track, it's one to two hours out of the city (twisty roads are maybe ten minutes), I can count how many times it's open a year on one hand, it's hundreds to put a car on for a day, and the government doesn't invest any of that money back into it so it's falling apart now.

It's pretty much all done as cat and mouse, or time attack. A lot of the roads have no barricades and are starting to deteriorate.

I live 5 miles away from probably the single best street racing road in my state. Pretty rural, largely undeveloped, and basically dead straight for about 2 miles straight.

I used to run there at like 3 am in a modded supra against a couple high school buddies. Never raced more than a couple times a month because we didn't want to make people tip off the cops. It's a fucking blast though; closest thing to a natural drag strip that I've gotten to race on. There's one small rounded decline about halfway through but it's not enough to get air or make you bounce so once you get going in either direction it's basically smooth sailing and you can just open up

It's not true, if you normalize for education levels, wealth and prosperity blacks are still shite and commit far more crime and do far worse in America.

Had to live on about $30 a week as a family when I was a kid for a decent amount of time with a single mom and I got myself to uni, top grades, no criminal offences, wasn't a prick to anyone.

There is no excuse, the blacks and arabs that were crying about racism were the ones that were total shitstains of human beings out in groups of 10-12 people at night beating fuckers up and wondering why everyone was being shitty to them.

If you're a young adult male white or black and you're out alone or in groups outside of commuting times enjoy being pulled over by police anyway, regardless of skin color.

Tbh I never really into it, but when some douche with expensive cars overtake my car (usually Porsche because shit is pretty popular among young kids with wealthy parents around my area), when I'm driving in the fast lane at around 80mph, I know that it's. FUCKING. ON.

Fucking this. I'm always on the high way at night because I work 40 miles away from my house so I drive in the 80's. With that being said yesterday night a mustang gt was reving his engine at me so I was like fuck it gotta race sometime. Well he beat me twice, and I was wondering why the hell he was beating me? Well considering I've never really raced before I didn't know that you had to shift down to a lower gear to pick up more speed. So I shifted down to third then fourth and zoomed right passed him. Ended up beating him after that. Anyways /blog
I drive a challenger r/t

Everytime I stop at a red light and a lambo, Ferrari etc pull up they wanna do some drag racing, prolly cuz they don't get to do it often.
Oh and I live in london and drive a motorcycle

This. Semi deep web. The cops that can access it wont care because thats mild compared to what else is down there. The ticket writers will never see it. Just dont get gambling involved and you should be fine. Just in case host in a safe country.

I do a lot of roll racing on the highway. We'll wait til we find a large gap and go between exits. I've even done digs on a 6 lane highway. Shit is nuts.

The feeling is awesome but you better be ready to run if the fuzz show up. Im glad my car is fast because theres been a few times where I had to book it. Only do it at night so they cant get a good I.D. on your car. If you get stopped you're looking at jail time and huge fines.
