I put more on the track but i dont race other cars on the street, just launches off lights late at night when driving home and such.

The track nearest to my house (around 1 hour drive) has a thing aimed at street safety, $30 you go from 5:30-11 on a friday night usually get 4-6 runs in. Get a slip for each run and everything. neat part is you dont need a license or anything, just a helmet and pass and inspection.

Have not gone to the strip yet but i just found out about it, going to start going as soon as they start it up for the season.

I would 10000X rather road racing, but you need to take a three day course, get a license, and i believe its like $120 a day to hit up our track.

track only i used to race but once you have put a friend in the ground cause of street racing then you truly understand the ignorance in it. im not saying that im better for not street racing because i used to but its not worth it to much of a risk and for what. i think track is the best place to race

$10-20 a run? Holy fuck...


The nearest track to me is 45 minutes away and its $20 for about 4-6 runs on Thursday nights. Its fun and stuff, but I havent been there in a while. I miss it.

already off to a bad start on here with me. street racing is stupid, idiotic, not intelligent, i could go on but lets move on shall we?

think about the others on the road? maybe you should, you could kill yourself, a bystander, lose control of your car and mack someones car and kill them. i hope you get caught and lose your liscence. i hope you damage your cars.

just hope to God you never hit me while doing your stupid stunts. cause if you hurt my family or me i will put you in bankrupcy and see you rot in jail the rest of your life.

if you cant afford the hobby incluiding racing legally maybe you should just start going to car shows. track days are cheap. save up and go and you will never want to street race again. if you cant afford track days or shows maybe you should give it up and collect stamps.
