When racing on public roads you need to be more aware of your surroundings. Like traffic light drags? Whats the difference between driving through a green light at 110, or accelerating hard to get there from a stop? Nothing! Youll still be going no faster than the speed limit. Once you start speeding though, and its lost any sensibility there ever was

Your right ive had many off the light drags. But i always stop at 60... and the other person just keeps going. I dont go overboard. unless its a highway drag and its 4 lanes at 2am..........not for a long time now though. Grown up a little lol

Hey im guilty of racing from a set of lights like a d***head on the odd occasion, might even take it to 70-80 in a 60 zone, but in no way will i defend myself because its fukin stupid and i gotta cut it out, simple.
Anyone who thinks its ok to hoon in certain places on the road or even stationary from a set of lights has no decent excuse. All it takes is to become a pedestrian for a few weeks, and it doesnt take long to work out why everyone keeps whinging about us modders to slow down. Especially when your standing at a set of lights waiting for the little green man to light up, and when you do and start walking, the motorists believe their green light overides everything and proceed to nearly run you over!! Not trying to flame anyone here, just trying to put up a valid opinion

I want to know where any of the messages in this thread stated that the race was going to be on a public road for starters...
Yeah its fun on a track, but I don't have any problems with anyone doing it on a Good road out of the city somewhere unpopulated where the only person that could get hurt is yourself or the guy racing you, and as far as I am concerned if you crash its your own famn fault for being a s**t driver, and dont take passengers... I also believe any type of written abuse on any internet forum or chat site just as childish as trying to do a burnout in a VK Commo at a populated set of lights.. We should all just keep it to Fair Opinions... The Track is much better too, take your mates, a BBQ and even win something if you are good... Track days and dyno days are more fun than a race to 120 km/h which is usually over in less than 10 seconds.. or if a Commodore maybe twice that time

and how is replying to this thread going to lessen your chances of getting hit by a street racer? your logic is fuzzy. |

Everyone sorry to get your hopes up over this race but like a said before i seriously dont know if it is still gonna go down cause the guy is still f#cking around and i dont know whats happening.....and as for everyone saying street racing is stupid, yes your right but starting s**t on here isnt gonna stop it, no matter what people say theres always people that are gonna do it and im guilty myself, i dont go out looking for race's but it is hard when some tool in a commy pulls up next to you and starts egging you on isnt it......so i think everyone should ease up and when/if the race happens ill dig this thread up and let everyone know what happens....
Cheers

A track day / drag day is so much better / safer / funnerer than a race from the lights. And people, please stop making excuses for morons on bicycles and idiot pedestrians who walk out in front of cars. Regardless of the speed your doing, if there's a C**k smoker willing to pull out / walk out / ride out in front of you, there's going to be damage. |

Regardless of the speed your doing, if there's a C**k smoker willing to pull out / walk out / ride out in front of you, there's going to be damage. i must say that that is the stupidist thing ive ever heard. so i suppose you think that there shouldnt be 40 zones in schools because if a kid walks out on the road your going to hit them anyway? fact is that the faster you are going if you hit someone the less a chance there is that they are going to survive it. There is a reason why there are speed limits. Ive had a couple of close calls myself narrowly missing hitting a kid who ran onto the road after a ball. i was doing 50 in 50 zone. had i had been doing 60 i would have hit him. think before you make crappy comments like that.
