Re: Street racing vs track racing
I leave a toll booth only to have a fox body 5.0 rev on me. No one around 1130 at night only two on the road. I pull 7 cars and make him feel st00pid. Behind him comes a 4.6 GT 500. No one around, 7-8 cars on him. Street race to me is from a dig at any place. Not from a roll with no one around. If I were to count I can name probably 6 incidents that I have "street raced". I don't do it often. If someone asks me to race or something I ALWAYS say no. Watch/Know to many bad things happen to be dumb enough to street race.

Re: Street racing vs track racing
people that win at the street races gets no respect from me. Sure you could pull 42750847507238472034 cars in your single cam on some Diablo. But the Diablo may have waited and hour to catch up to you.
Basically, reaction time on the street is everything. On the track it's real. If you got a slow foot, at the end the numbers speak for everything.
Oh and highway pulls IS street racing. No matter what you say to make it look better for yourself you are a street racer... sounds cool huh :P
And if no one being around justifies it, you are just calling yourself worthless, cause YOU are around and a simple mistake will end YOU. But that's just my opinion.

Re: Street racing vs track racing
I love the track. I tend to stay away from street racing, or hihway pulls on people, but sometimes it happens. We don't have "Flashlight" Drags in my area, and everyone drives pickup anyways.
I enjoy going to the track and showing the hicks in my area that it doesn't need a v8 or tons of money to be fast. Just some skill, time, and creativity.

However it also allows me to see who all in here is more prone to street compaired to track and i dont think someone has really made a thread like this anyways. some dude called me a street racer cause i was haulin *** when i was delivering pizzas. oh well, as far as you guys that "street race" how many of yall are jsut talking about pullin on someone to put them in their place or are actually at organized street races?

Re: Street racing vs track racing
I can't beleive you guys only get 5 runs in at your local tracks, around in my area if you don't get atleast 10 in its cause your car broke, One of the other things that makes me hate the street racing scene in my area is all the ricers driving like retards at the meet up spot before you ever even go to the races, hey lets get the cops on us before we even race. I do like doing runs from a roll though, cause then you can't use a bad launch as an excuse, one time I accidently tried to race a guy with quite a rep in mn his licensce plate is urv8sux, its an eg hatch with over 500whp,( I let off as soon as I heard the turbo on that thing, it looks stock on the outside) I saw a video of him spinning the tires in 4th gear at about 70mph against a cobra, He lost because of wheel spin against the cobra. I'm guessing or that the cobra is making really good power too, I'll try to get the link. The video does kinda suck in quality though.
