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.

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.


There is no close track near us.
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?


Imports will always get a bad name because that is what young people can afford...
Then buy a go-cart.

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.


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

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.

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.
