Payam, I was standing right next to your car while you were demonstrating your dumps! Excuses excuses! Line 'em up or shut up!

But you are saying the same words that I have alreayd said numerous times. Whe I was running 13-14, everyone wanted a piece of me. Now I can't buy a race.

Oh, I should add on my earlier story, Don did not bring out his 7 second vette, only his 12 second one!

 

ty, i missed ya bud .. u should've said hi when u were there ..
my only excuse is that i dont race on the street .. oh wait .. thats not and excuse .. its common sense when u have a car that would go 125+ mph on the jug. im surprised u still do it after losing ur license once, even a hamster learns not to do something if he got punished for it ... i cant afford to lose mine so i aint risking it.. heck i cant hook it properly on 28x12.5 ETs .. u expect me to go all out on street tires ?!

get ur sh*t together... come to the track . bring ALL YOU GOT and i'll line u up... no ifs ands or buts

once u start putting saftey equipment to make ur car NHRA legal u'll realize that u got a LOT of spending to do to be able to race properly say if i would not have spent money in saftey sh*t, id probably be a whole second faster ..

 

Payam, you are deceived if you think racing at the track is safe or safer than on a deserted road. A ditch or a 2 foot high curb, either one will not be enjoyable. I have raced the streets for years, and not witnessed one accident . How about you? Well, in some people’s situations, they would do better racing on an airport runway or slotted car tracks.

As for the track, in my opinion, that is boring.

As for spending all that money on safety equipment just so that I can go slower, no thanks. Matters not how much safety gear one has on, if one’s number is up, it is up. And that can even be in one’s bed, or driving 60 mph on the street. SO I guess we will never race!

 

guess not.

yah it mustve been my deception to have an ambulance and firetruck right next to my crashed car in less than 10 seconds after the crash eh !!

the cement wall or a ditch !? if i wouldve gone in a ditch or hit a pole my car wouldve been 100 times worse, and not to mention all the sh*t i would have gotten in with the police and icbc ..

i guess its all a deception !!

 

Yes, I agree, the best place for you to race is at the track!

 

NO offense to anyone but I agree with TyphoonZR, the track is boring, very boring & as for hooking, I hook 10 times better on the street then I can ever hook at the track on street tires no joke, every time I try to launch at the track I get nothing but spinning action, on the street I actually have to try to spin the tires. As for safety, the streets are safer & here is why:

Street tires hook a lot better on the road then at the track, when you loose it at the track its like a scatting ring after that with street tires.

When you use slicks at the track if you loose the rear you are done, reason being is because slicks have a lot of bounce to them side to side, loosing the rear just shakes you up & launches you into the wall like a sling shot, you dont do 360's with slicks, it just doesn't work that way.

You spend $25 getting there, $25 to race, $25 to get back all for 4 runs.


The only good thing about the track is knowing how fast you are, that you cannot get on the street unless you use G-tech, but thats not very accurate at all, & you don't get an applause when you do a good run, plus others don't know who won when two cars race


Thats all I have to say.

Ohh Ps. What are you talking about Payam, you're always out looking for a race!

 

honestly i find hte street way more fun too. i've been caught twice and i won both times in court. still do'nt have a licence but thats besides the piont!



hey payam i'd like to race your car sometime this year.. i'm hoping to come down near the end of hte season (when i get my licence back). you pick. wrx or gmc

 

yah yah i've done my share of street racing .. got caught once .. went to court and won !! but i got lucky .. dont wanna stretch my luck anymore .. and i cant bear to have my DL pulled from me so i've gotten more careful since my "incident"

streets are fun .. i agree .. but i would never EVER run slicks on the street .. driving on them on an uneven highway is nightmare .. let alone racing on them

and i must agree with bunker somewhat .. racing on street tires is more or less safer than bouncy slicks .. but racing on the street is way more dangerous than the track ...

u have telephone poles, lamp poles, other cars, people, ditches and all these other things u can hit to make matters 10x worse

on the track there is max 1 other car u can hit and a cement wall. and a firetruck and an ambulance will be there in a heartbeat .. if ur car catches on fire on the street it ill burn to the ground before anyone gets to it .. or if u injure urself or someone else in the process they might very well die before any medical help gets there .. let alone all the tickets u'll have to take up the *** if something happenes on the street.

when my car was slower / less modded i used to race and speed a lot more than i do now .. there is a line from spiderman that says "with power comes responsibility" ... sure if i had a stock car or if i were to stay off the jug i could be a lot stupider and floor my car around a lot more on the streets ... but once i hit that button i can only stay in it for 4-5 seconds before my common sense tells me to slow the f*ck down

i guess there is a fine line between being a f*cking idiot and being brave and im not willing to cross it to risk my car or my life

 

I consider racing on the street or the track equelly unsafe.

If I were to crash my car due to testing high speeds on the street, I would get a wreckless driving charge - but ICBC would cover the cost.

If I were to crash at the track, I would lose the car.

No record though.......it's legal, just not insureable.....

There is no good way to use the power of our cars.
Either way you lose.

Luckly it's not illegal to get up to speed quickly - love the romp onto the highway!
100K comes so quick though....

 

I dont know for sure or not, but I think you can get a ticket for "exhibition of speed".

BTW Panda, did u get my PM?

 

Bunker, my sediments precisely, the track is boring! Furthermore, like you said, running slicks on 12 psi is extremely dangerous. A lot of people have lost their ride due to running slicks at a track. False security is for idiots!

Running soft side walls is for straight line racing, and those racers who allow their ride to get sideways, and still stay on the throttle, are not in touch with their ride. Pros always back out of it when they feel it getting out of shape, but amateurs have their ***** to the wall mentality, and spoil the fun for those who would like to race.

How many times do we witness some idiot not knowing when to back out and all because he wants to make an earth shattering pass, only to have hundreds of racers go home early due to the fact that the track now has to be cleaned up! Not to mention endangering the racer next to him.

Panda, good point about still being insured on the street if you have an accident!

As for me, I do not line up with just anyone when racing my truck, I like to see them race a few times first. I like the idea of working one’s way to the top, and there is safety in that. As for my Camaro, it is just plain fun, I’ll race anyone, but then again, it is only a 13 second car!

 

indeed, but I"d like to add, how many poles & people do you see on a long stretch of HWY? not many, unless its traffic, then you dont race, unless you want to play chicken which is also fun

On another note, how many people do you see doing a 360* or going from one side of the HWY to the other "WALL TO WALL AT MISSION" while going in a straight line? Fact is, street tires were designed for the road not for the track, you think the guy at Michelin is sitting there designing our street tires for the track? One wrong move of the steering wheel & you're loosing control at the track, I'm sorry but I'm on the throttle cutting throught traffic sometimes & I don't see my rear swigning out, accutally, before cutting someone off I'll even downshift to second, spin the tires while merging & still not loose control or come close to it. Its not like I do this all the time or encourage people to but I'm setting an example on how much safer the streets are.


Also, if you do by chance wreck your car, just say something ran infront of you & thats it, at most you'll get a $115 speeding ticket from the cop cuz they just have to do it, Just ask Armen how many times he crashed his Cavalier & got nothing but a speeding ticket, this was all in the rain ofcoarse, silly silly but the damage was minimal.

 

if ur taking shots at me . u can GO F*CK URSELF .. if not .. ignore this reply ...

 

Ok ok > stop the wining > Joke.

Lets race at the next track event? Grudge?

I should have my Nittos by then. Not that I will very good at launching with them. I need true slicks but for fun I will go. You gonna use the nitrous too? I am not. Just boost.

I was saying no because I don't race on the street. Remember that my car pulls over 122 MPH in the 1/4 too Can get dangerous.

Duane

I need some 9 inch rims for the rear to mount my Nittos first to make sure it is somewhat fair. Anyone know of a place. Cheap?


390 RWHP stock stang?

 

Upgraded, I couldn't help but wonder why you don't have a quicker et! Man your car is fast, but it is turbo lag off of the starting line or traction?
