Street Racing

admin — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 21:27:40 +0000

No matter how much I love cars and Driving Fast, Street Racing is dangerous and ILLEGAL! Street racing can either be spontaneous or well-planned and coordinated. Even coming from a small town I have seen some really elaborate, well thought out, extremely planned street racing events. Street Racing Coordinators will use everything from a two way radio, cell phones, radars, police scanners, and GPS tracking devices. Often times a pre-designated spot will be secretely passed from driver to driver til hundreds of people show up to an off beaten path in the hopes to race a few times and get away clean before the cops show up. It is not worth it in my opinion. It used to be a ticket for getting caught. Now its fines, jail time, community service and your car being crushed in while you watch!! Stick to the track and keep your ride. Avoid street racing at all costs! I know its hard, I get rev’d at all the time. I know my car is faster than the guy next to me and I just want to show him how slow he is…..but I grin and drive the speed limit. Let me know your experiences with street racing.

About Me

admin — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 20:39:23 +0000

My name is Daniel. I am 28, born and raised in Texas. I have been into cars since I could drive and have always really enjoyed the import scene. I have personally built my own car (honda) from its original stock 112 hp to 256 whp. I know the scene gets alot of dirty looks from the american muscle, old school guys…..But I respect all cars. I like both domestic and imports, if you car is fast, I dont care who made it……just take me for a ride! I dont see how anyone cannot be impressed from the numbers being pushed from little 4 cylinder engines. Im from a small town that has no track, yet the scene is big here. As a result the street racing scene is big. Street racing is dangerous and illegal for a reason. I lost a friend in Highschool due to street racing, he was decapitated when he side swiped a telephone pole. Im trying to find out all the hot spots in Texas and any experiences people may have had in the process.
