NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

Here is a vid from around my way.
NRG (energy) is a local shop around here running against another kid Randy. NRG has the white teg and Randy has the hatch.

Part one is a just BS and looking at the one car..it's kinda shitty with my friends talking ----:

Part Deuce is where they do their burnouts and run. Randy jumps a few times but then NRG gets a wicked holeshot and looks like he is going to win, BUT he missed shifted third and instead went into 5th and lost :1

Part three is just a stupid ass commentary part with my boy Rabbit on the left and Goonie on the right ripping on NRG and then finally a local runner in SFWD talking ---- again. His name is Benzo and he has a 10 sec crx:

Every weekend there is at least one $500+ money run around here. :S

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

Is it normal to block the freeway like that?

Oh and someone needs to tell the fat retard with glasses that he's not black.

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

Sick...that integra sounds mean.

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

whats up with the freeway.. no problem with cops? I'd be pissed if I was waiting on that race.. took way to long

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

:lThat looked a lot like the northbound Henry Hudson parkway near 59th St. :l

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

Classic example of why the whole world hates imports. :-\

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

pretty much :-\

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

amen, way to block off the freeway for 5 minutes. i heard people holding down their horns ::)

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

Oop, and the whole world rests. Although I have seen a few big power muscle car guys do it too :(

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

It's obviously not normal to block it off, but it's not a main road and not many cars/trucks use it often. This run happened at 4am on a Sunday night.
Yeah the guy in the glasses is not black, but hispanic. He gets very loud and he's love him or hate him. Many people hate him. He's on ht and a few other boards as Benzo2n or bean burrito.

Normally cops aren't a big deal at this spot because since the road is all blocked off the cops have a difficult time getting up to the front where the runs are happening. They wanted to run it back for 2grand but there was a cop sitting at the end of the strip. You should see the tire marks at this spot from all the burnouts so the cops know about it.

Nah it's in Queens. Why would they hate imports from that vid? Not hating, just asking.

I hear them too. I don't know why but this run took a lot longer to pull off than normal. You can even hear people telling them to lite the tires up to get it going.

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

:3 like a whole 4:30 of revving and 10 seconds of racing :3

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

That's how it is around here when you got ONE big money run. They're not going to run it back and back again for a few grand a pop. Other spots are for ricer racing when there are runs after runs all night. This spot if for the big dog runs.

And yes it literally was about 10 seconds of racing because those cars are low 11 high 10 second cars. :y

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

The idle on that Integra sounds like dog poo... :-X

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

That has to be about the most boring video ever :'(

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

Man i would be piss if i was one of the cars waiting behind them on the freeway. That took way too long with just two cars doing nothing.

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

Video wasn't impressive, cars were decent.

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

Yoooo randy car is a beast........ finally someone able to get down with nrg tech....... wait till the srt is out this week.... oman shooting for high 10's

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

both those cars looked and sounded like ----

and i take back my previous statements that even a monkey could shift a honda 5 spd tranny

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

that happens alot just outside of toms river NJ on high way 37 just past wally mart but that was like 9 year ago dont know if it still the same, and here in FL its off the hook

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

that teg was handing the hatch its ass. good thing for the hatch the guy fucked up

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

Who misses third gear and ends up in fifth? :S

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

i wish that big ass truck would have kept going and took out both of those cars :8

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

The guy recording the video laughs like he has a piece of kfc lodged in the back of his throat ^-^

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

A guy in a civic cuts off someone on the freeway. They don't say stupid person, they say stupid IMPORT DRIVER.

A guy in a civic has an overly gay wing on his car. He's not a stupid person, he's seen as a stupid IMPORT DRIVER.

At cruise night the guy in the integra does a burnout for no apperent reason. Not a dipshit, he's an IMPORT DRIVER.

(This happens over and over in every city from LA to NY. The overall perception of the public is that IMPORT DRIVERS are stupid morons)

Then on a dark street in Queens, two cars line up for a money race. One of the cars obviously has a vacuum leak or a TPS issue. They take longer to do burnouts than John Force in the final round, while cars honk at them. For $2600 I'd like to have a fair start with lights rather than some guy flapping his arms. Traction is going to be better at the local track as well.
In the end, the other drivers don't know this is a money race or why these guys want to race, they just see more IMPORT DRIVERS driving like idiots on the street with no regard for other people. It further pounds home the perception that everyone else already has, that IMPORT DRIVERS are fucken idiots. Then everytime I go out to the garage to work on the car I love that when it gets done, the only thing people will see the car and myself as is a fucken dumb ass IMPORT DRIVER.

I know this was just a race that was going to happen anyway and you just filmed it. It's not a personal attack, it's more of a rant of common sense. At the level of these two cars, there's no reason why either of them couldn't see the benefits of racing at the track (other than safety of course). I guess some would say it's the thrill of the chase (with cops and breaking the law), but after its all said and done, the only thing they accomplished on the street that they couldn't accomplish at the track is pounding the perception to the 10 drivers honking thier horns behind them.

And then someone gets pulled over and can't figure out why, other than the cops hate imports. I wonder why.

/Rant. :P

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

The John Force part is good

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

I've seen staging battles take less time. >:D

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

Yeah. It never ceases to amaze me how much money people drop to go fast, and their cars never get dialled in right.

And then, some people go so far for so little...

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

The guy isnt running an IACV Id imagine, just a straight up sheet metal intake mani

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

Honduhs idle like stock with IACV removed. Just reset throttle stop + air bleed, adjust TPS as required. Takes 20 minutes of your life.

The Integra's problem is either incompetent tuning - idle fuel maps look like hamburger, believe it or not, boost is the easiest range to tune - or they retained the FITV. FITV is the first thing to lose if you want a good idle on a stock Honduh. As the power level goes up, the FITV is increasingly likely to fail. While no one who hasn't owned/tuned 1000cc+ injectors is going to think your idle is pimpsauce and the sign of mechanical acumen, at least you don't look like a jackass in front of the riceboys, or interweb critics like yours truly.

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

*No personal attacks below either...i am just letting you know how it is by me*
*I did not proofread below either cause i'm on my lunch break*

Good points Steve. But first off I wanna say, I did not film the vid, instead some acquintances did. Regardless, the spot where these two cars ran is a spot that's been around since my father's time. The amount of rubber that is at the starting line is ridiculous. It is a known spot so most people in the area know the deal. Granted not everyone does but it's not all imports at this spot. The spot has been a known racing spot for the past 30 years. The last vid that I posted up here about a month ago with an 80's olds doing a run and pulling a wheelie for at least 40 feet with the rear bumper nearly scraping the floor that is basically the same situation as this run except for the fact that it was a muscle car so it was cool. That run with the muscle car run happened at this same spot too.

A month ago I went to this same spot to see another import run, but when I showed up there were about 100 muscle cars there already. Their staging took much longer than this. ONe car was a 90's stang on juice and the other was a blown stang. I am not sure of the amount they were running for but they were at least low 10 second if not high 9 second cars.

The closest track to me is over an hour and a half away. ANd I have to pay a few tolls to get there and hope I don't break down because I can't tow my car back over a bridge with a tow rope. The track that used to be close, only an hour away, closed down last year. I live on long island and the nearest track that is about two hours away is in Englishtown, NJ. We try to find desolate industrial roads to run on, but we always get chased/arrested/etc. There aren't any good places to run.

Imports get a bad name because of the age of the people driving them. The majority of new drivers are inexperienced and take more chances, drive faster etc. This has been going on for years. Our parents went through the same situation when they were younger in the muscle car era. There is no way it is going to change. THere is no way to change a whole population of young people. For the most part young people can only afford a cheap honda/toyota etc. for the gas reasons and because they're cheap cars. WHen I was younger I had an 80 camaro/69 chevelle/80 olds. Reason being is that the imports were new and I couldn't afford them I was only able to afford what was cheap and not to mention gas was not an issue either.

Trust me we all want a local track but it's not going to happen anytime soon. On local boards we've been petitioning for a new track to be built and the legislators have been saying that they'll find a solution to the issue. The problem is that a track has been proposed in a wooded area and now the legislators are turning their backs on us. They just want to appease the masses and tell them what they want to hear. I don't see a track being made near me for at least another 5 more years.

If you're caught street racing around here by the cops they take your car right on the spot. It happened to a few people I know and their lawyer fees are crazy just to have a chance to get it back. That is another reason why we want a track.

That is about all I can type for now.... :S

To sum up...
yes they're stupid for running on the freeway.
Muscle car guys have done it for over 30 years.
We want to race on a track.
There is no close track near us.
Imports will always get a bad name because that is what young people can afford...

I hate ricers.

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

that guy in the white integra is a moron. the hatch left early the first time but the times after that the hatch was perfect and the white teg diding even ------- move, then on the last run the hatch WAITED for the white teg to leave the line before he even TRIED moving. i'm glad the guy in the hatch one because the driver of the teg was a moron.

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

Tell everyone, great job on the elaborate re-enactment of 2Fast 2Furious.
Sorry but, all weak excuses.

Yes, and in the mean time established a huge industry that builds tracks for all to use.

You mean to tell us that these guys can find time to block off a public road, take a decade to figure out how to line up their cars and gamble over 2K for one race and they can't go to a non-local track with better racing conditions?

Then buy a go-cart.

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

he could've at least kept his foot on the gas so it would idle 1500 or somehing lOL

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

If that road doesn't see much traffic, I think letting the cars go by and then getting on with the events would have been more civilized. The disrespect to other drivers just (trying) to pass through strikes me more than the actual racing thing. The racing thing happens, but the blatent disrespect seems to get more and more common coming from import drivers/young kids and I guess I was just hoping to see someone breaking the law with a little more respect for others. lol.

Re: NYC $2600 Street Race Run *Vid*
 

Heh. 1 point to the n00b for basic ------- cognitive skills.

I can understand things happen and you HAVE to make the race, but you can crack the throttle el quicko by tightening down the throttle cable a smidge, and not look like a complete idiot.
