Is "organized" illegal street racing a thing outside

>>16589387
Just check out the shit in 1320video's outrun in Texas. That shit is legit organized street racing.

Not the Need for Speed style street hooning (it's not organized in the traditional sense at least) but highly organized drag racing and highway pulling scenes are very much a thing and have been forever

>>16589387
nah that shit happens. it usually starts with a few fags and then mutates into fast and furious type shit and by thattime the cops are aware and ready to bust it up. There was a huge organized street race in san diego (maybe oakland) a few years back that someone found a stream for. The cops blocked all the exits and then as everyone tried to leave they ticketed everyone, one by one.

>>16589471
>they ticketed everyone, one by one.

For what?

>>16589507
Some places have passed laws that basically make it illegal to even be at a street race. Like if you are within a certain amount of feet of a street race and you are to slow to get away from the cops you get fined. You dont even have to be racing, just on your bicycle watching can get you a fine.

There's organization, but the most you'll probably ever see in a single race is four.

You want double-digit poles, you need to go legal.

'organization' is really nothing more than some phone calls and text messages between friends

>>16589387
There was a huge nighttime scene up on Mulholland, here in LA. After awhile, the residents up there raised hell and the cops shut the whole thing down.
The stretch they used is awesome though, I drive it almost every day just for the hell of it.

They do it every Sunday in New Orleans. I haven't been myself but I don't even think the cops give a shit because it's in the outskirts of the city.

They get involved every now and then but that doesn't stop them from racing almost every single week.

>pic related

Most of the old heads in the Seattle area know about the Kent street races that happened every Saturday night in the industrial lots. Lots of people showed up, usually 50 cars or so, all stripped out Honda's and Subarus pretty much. The area was set up in a perfect grid so we would just go two at a time right after one another. 10-20 drag races in the span of about 3 minutes.

Cops got good about breaking it up before shit even started so it really died down about 5 years ago. Now it's not anything close to what it used to be. My friend got a ticket for racing even though he technically wasn't, got caught at the end of a drag line when he was trying to spectate, lol.

Fast and Furious style street racing makes for an interesting movie, but I'd think something like Two Lane Blacktop would be more likely to actually happen IRL.

>not that i'd know. my interest in cars is way to casual

>>16589387
I saw an highway drag race with a rolling start once.

They start as normal car meets, then when it's late enough that most of the normies left, the popo isn't patrolling as hard and, most of all, the traffic is mostly gone, a small group of cars head for the designated highway.

At this point two groups of cars make a traffic "barricade" in front and behind the two dueling cars so that there is a long stretch of empty road to use.
When everything is ready, the two duelers go side by side at around 80km/h and then they somehow find a way to start the race with an agreed signal (sometimes the race starts by letting the supposed inferior car pull first, immediately followed by the other).
The race ends when someone is too scared to continue or when there is more than a couple of car-lenghts between the two cars.

It's surprisingly organized for being something that is usually decided on a whim by a small group of people

>>16591167
Midnight Club 3/LA?

>>16589387
yes.
Going with some friends on our secret track this weekend.

Organising a night long cruise on summer soilistice

Large groups sometimes in triple digits gather every thursday on couple of ice tracks made in parking lots during winter.

Street racing is dying tho. But if there is a safe, little risk area that nobody gives a fuck about you can bet your ass car people use it.

Also drag racing is for faglords.

Touge is still the best kind of street "racing" you can do. Just find an empty windy road with two fixed points on it and set times to beat

There's a secret area in Fontana CA where they race for da moniez. A few days ago a guy in a midnight blue 240sx with a silvia front end left $3,000

We have constant races at DA PAD in Niggerass New Orleans. There are groups that organize runs out there.

There used to be a road in my city that was perfect for drag racing and essentially was a drag strip back in the 90's according to my brother. I like to make fun of one of my teachers who had a Foxbody Mustang GT back then, asking him about all the times he got his ass kicked there.

At some point General Motors built a huge office at the end of the road and it actually has traffic now.

Somewhere around here three's actually an organized legal arm drop drag race event on a runway lol.

>>16589507
It's California. If the car's registered here the cops can just go "your car appears to be heavily modified pop the hood so I can check for smog violations".
If they really wanted to they could just impound everyone at the event with California plates that way.

can confirm, the Kent races are heavily targeted. I used to see their meets on fridays, always at the same gas station, always with a cop chilling with them

It happens on my side of town every night. Bunch of rich college students hooning around in their riced out Subarus.

>>16589458
Those guys in Night Wave seem to be organizing street races as well in Houston.

I was in a legit 2 fast 2 furious style scramble one time a few years ago when the cops showed up to the industrial area where close to 60 or 70 cars were racing, shit was pretty cool. The scene here in ny is so dead now though

>>16597362
they're really not you stupid fuck.
"""""""racing"""""" in a straight line is just fucking stupid because there's no skill involved. It's all a matter of who has the better car (and let's say 1% who can shift better assuming they're actually in manual trans cars that are of similar stats).

Literally only idiots think they're ""racing"" in a straight line, I see it all the time when kids get a BMW from daddy.
Racing can only be done if there's at least 2 people involved and if there are corners involved.

If you go on a mountain downhill or uphill, then there's actual skill involved, because on a downhill with plenty of turns an underpowered car in the hands of a skilled driver can negate the advantage of a more powerful car driven by an average driver and cornering speed and anticipation plays a larger factor.

Shit, even if you want to street race like in need for speed there needs to be a set route, preferably late at night in a semi-isolated area with at least a few turns.
Highway rolls are a joke. Drag racing if not done in professionally built drag cars with stupid horsepower is a joke.
Fuck off with """""""drag"""""" racing in your stupid 200+ hp shitbox you fucking faggot.

tl;dr if you're drag racing in a sub 1000+ hp car in this day and age you are a complete faggot and you should look into ways of ending yourself.

peasants (anyone who isn't a politician or a cop) aren't not allowed to have fun.
"technically" you can't mod your car without "homologation" and paying out the ass (aka bribe)

and there were cases of license taken away by doing small burnout or accidentally sliding the rear.

>>16597793
sounds like you live in Australia

There's usually little meets all the time, you just gotta know where to look, 'cause they do get busted once in awhile and then gotta move to a new location.

My friends and I at a tire shop would always get off work pretty late (we stayed open until 10), and then we'd just get in our cars, and street race eachother red light to red light, until we found a couple other groups.

Racing down the Vasco da Gama bridge is still a thing, though becoming a bit less often. Also they're mostly shitboxes, so I'm not sure you can count that as a street race.

I live in shithole oakland and let me tell you, there's plenty of people racing all the damn time.


And the sideshows. People legitimately shut down the freeway to do burnouts. But yes, there are indeed organized races, and organized sideshows. But oakland is famous for that shit.

mexico here

atleast here there is literally fast & furious type shit. every tuesday night the wealtheist people in the state and those with tuning garages gather up by a major highway and get at it

there's shit from 500hp tuned golf's to ferraris and lamborghinis.

and because its mexico, sometimes the cops come over, get drunk with everyone else and overall everyone has a good time.

My city used to have an illegal shitbox-only drag scene, but them some nigger died and they shut it down.

Basically, only polos and civics were allowed to make it fair

>>16599585

about the best I ever got were cops just telling racers to move somewhere else since people were complaining

>>16599615
>Basically, only polos and civics were allowed to make it fair

they needed to be edumacated on street racing

so you can stand around shit talking for 30 minutes before racing trying to make things fair or agree on a bet

Where I am from, its not so organized, but just known. For literally decades, people have been meeting up in the same spot and we all go onto 1 of the 4 highways this area connects to. You pretty much set up the races at the meeting place, then go out and do it then come back. Everyone has their group they hang out with and its pretty fucking F&F style

>>16597895
Turning corners requires more pedal work than drag racing does, in addition to steering and shifting.

Pennsylvania fag here.

Without making it too long the car scene here is pretty big. Most cities have small meetups regularly from as low as people in a small parking lot to 100 cars in a parking lot every night. And big meetups that involve hundreds of cars but this is usually as a collaboration of a Facebook group. It's rare to see over 40 cars in one area without organizing something.

That being said, set aside the people who don't do much modifications and set aside the mouthy ricers, most people who have the money to have 400whp or above cars usually organize and race one the weekends. Chased and filmed(for Facebook not media production) but us slower guys and sometimes a lead if we have one.

Sometimes there are bets some times there aren't. It gets very slow in the winter.

The one thing is though at least in my area, but I see it occur on adjacent areas Facebook pages is that the car community is toxic as fuck. I've removed myself from the community and just "do me". I don't mess with the arrogance and pseudo mechanics who think they're above you.

I was legit told by somebody that unless ive completed a major project on my car such as an engine rebuilt or N/A to turbo install including all labor 100%, that I don't have the right to say I work on my own cars. Disregard that I reworked and reshaped an exhaust to fit a modified setup. Did all of my brakes and tires. Did my suspension tuning. Did my own research on what I needed for a safe tune. Bought my own tools learned all on my own with the physical help of a neighbor because some jobs are just easier with two hands. A whole slew of work on the car basically only not ripping apart the engine or transmission. If you have to blow up your engine and rebuilt it to be qualified for working on your own car then you've got other issues.

Pic related is my 1.8 turbo 20th anniversary GTI. Wheels need refinished and I'll be doing clutch job myself soon. Hopefully it goes well.
