street racing
 

sooo, anyone here ever get busted for street racing? if so what was the outcome? cause i recieved my first offense ever last night. 3 tickets. doing 81 in a 50 (thank god cuase i was doing about 95), no front license plate displayed, and drag racing. i was sooo pissed, i shoulda known somethign was gonna happen cuase all day i had people asking me to race. All hondas, a new Si hatchback and old Si hatch and another old hatch with a K20 motor in it, then another honda civic turbo, a crx turbo, then my friend just got his CRX with a LS motor in it. i finally just caved into the pressure and got my a** popped for running my friend of a red light, we came around the corner and boom cop under I-55. its angel driving time from now on. :089:

bummer...that sucks.

Never been popped for racing.

Doh... I'm sure you'll have to go to court if the cop put "street racing" on the ticket. That's usually reckless driving. But if it's your first offense, the judge might go easy on ya. Here in Utah, it's a $400 minimum fine for reckless driving.

yeha i got 3, they are labled not properly diplaying plate registration in front of vehicle, drag racing, and doing 31 mph over posted speed limit. i talked to my friend who got taht he said his license was suspended for 3 months did supervision and traffic school and paid 125 per ticket, clean record now. but im 18 and he wasnt at the time, so i dont know, i just want my license back and they can supervise me till im 21 traffic school me w/e i just need my license back.

and now i have to tell my parents, well....my mom anyways. only reason i am going to tell cause i think im going to need a lawyer yeah?

did u win ?

man, in VA 31 over the posted limit is into the felony traffic offense. my wife got rolled for that, but since she was just about to come out of a low speed zone the trooper cut her some slack and just wrote her the ticket as if she was in the 55 zone (which she was only a hundred feet or so from) and not the 35 zone she was actually in.

it was a fully built engine all internals done vs. my fairly stock Z, so i didnt win. but for the work in that motor, i thought it pathetic he was only at my front wheel well, i got him on the launch and threw 2nd but in 3d he started creeping. knowing that kid though he's running his mouth sayin he raped me or soemthing. but over here 40 mph over the speedlimit is a felony offense. my friend did like 80 something in a 35 and got to go home, i think a full year of supervision. the best part was he was driving a mini van.

good thing you weren't clocked at the 95 you were actually doing :D

i hope they take your liscence away and tear it in half
"i just need my liscence back" if you werent f**king around in the first place you wouldnt be in this shit, kids just dont appreciate, VALUE and RESPECT the freedom they are given to these days...hope you learned a lesson.

street racing near cops is a bad idea.

Hey street racing is a bad idea. Too much risk involved, sorry to hear about your dilemna. But you have nobody to blame but yourself. Nobody put a gun to your head or anything. You have the choice to go, or refuse. And the choice you make, you pay the consequences for your actions. Not trying to be too hard on you man. But there is a time and place for everything. And street racing, belongs on the track, not the road. Which then would define it drag racing, autocross, drifting. etc...

Harsh but true. Street racing is one of the stupidest things you can do, not only are you risking your own life but other peoples lives. Here in TX I’m pretty sure drag raceing is a felony offence and you get arrested on the spot. I'v been challenged several times but never race just because its not worth the possiblity of getting arrested and paying close to a 1000 bux for a ticket just to say I beat whatever car I raced or in your case lost to. Your lucky you didn't spend a night in jail. All I have to say is- have fun spending money that goes toward paying the cop that wrote your ticket which could have gone toward your Z.

I never street race anymore... except for this last weekend.
I knew I would lose but its only my friends' car. SR20DEt powered 510 and 240SX.... I was going way over 100 thats for sure... more than twice. :D Kids, don't try this at home

i have been busted before. about 7 of us got aressted and here. but. there were about 20 cars at that spoted who weren't racing and they take down all of the cars serial #'s and put it in there records that , that car has been caught in a street racing ring . BUT, the thing about me i choosed not to take my car out that night and bum a ride and be a passenger that night and all this happened in phoenix . ok so people wnated to race and there was no flagger so i decided to flag and i guess security was watching from atop of one of the buildings nearby and no one noticed . and to my surprise because of me flagging i got charged for illegal exhibition of speed for all the matches i flaged. so even if you flag it is considered the same as racing the car here in the phx . and to tell you that was a few races i flagged . but somehow thanx to a good lawer that was reduced significtally <------ yeah i know its mispelled. it's a 507 dolla fine here per charge ! :037: :fxloc:

i was going to post a "you are an idiot for street racing" post like a lot of you did, but then i realised that i have done it before myself, like i'm sure a lot of you have too. yes, its a bad idea, yes you get fu**ed if you get nailed, and all the other sh*t. but i'm not going to be a hypocrite and tell him he was a moron for doing something we all have before. i dont make a habit of it, but just a week ago some jackoff in a turbo new beetle revved like a SOB at me, and i had to shut him down. absolutely killed him. but this was also a situation where there was no other traffic, and no intersections, and a clear view of everything in front of me. i wont do it if i am putting others at risk.

yes, street racing is bad. but in some cases its hard to turn down.

ive been caught up in some challenges before, listening to the other guy constantly rev the engine. i just let them act cool, until we either got on the open highway, or an empty road.
but, once i get in a position to race an LS1 car, its gonna be hard for me to turn down the invitation, cuz im dying to see how i do.

I'll take someone up on stop light romp every once in a while...but I never turn it into a full on drag race. Maybe a hundered yards, usually less... who ever is ahead by then most likely has the race in a street vehicle anyways. Some dont even make it out of first gear before i back off for the greater good of man kind.

What I do enjoy is a game of reasonably safe game of cat and mouse. Keep it single file and not too crazy (not anymore anyways).

I find it hard to believe that anybody who has ever owned a performance branded machine has never taken it beyond the limits of your daily commuter. And if you haven't, then why do you own a Z??? (and I know not everyone here is a race driver). It's meant to be driven and it's meant to be driven hard.

haha, i once had this alero "race" me. he took off from the stop light, and i did a roll start, and he was like a car length ahead when i gunned it. well, i caught up to his bumper, and he cut me off and put his hazards on, as i shifted into second and passed him in the other lane

cat and mouse is a form of street racing according to my state, adn trust me im being a pilot my main goal was to keep my clean record, im not a street racer i dotn think its cool, i turned down several other offers that day i think i meantioned and then on the way home you know it was dead ass empty cuaght at the light with my buddy, dead road up ahead, the cop was just inbetween a van and a semi on the shoulder under I-55 so it was pitch black, i had no chance. trust me i feel like shit im teaching my self my own lesson, i told my parents im hiring and paying for my own lawyer im doing everything my self at my own expense. i dont need people playing daddy for me on here especially since probly all of you have decided to tear down some honda of VW kid at least once, even if it was only a short couple seconds, still street racing.

dude dont sweat it people hear at zdriver.com some guys and woman can and will be assholes.. its best to just stick to information on how to fix your z car and learn more about what u can do to your z car.. ive learned not to bring in your personally business hear your gonna get nothing but A*& HOLES with bad words of advice..

Never the less there is other people hear that know alot about z cars and there information is why im hear at this site to learn more about my z cars..

so far only one, willin to let it fly, i didnt really post this for like hey guess what crap i really was lookin for advice or like what happened to people im worried as hell.

honestly i dont think its necessary for people to rip on other ppl like that on here either.............we dont come on here everyday to have some one tell you your an idiot or you a dumb a$$.....you know it is like we are a family here

And me honestly I have done my fair share of street racing. I wont deny that, just saying from experience. Now if what I said was too harsh, then I apologize. That was not my intention at all man. I try to respect people's feelings, and think before I post. I was telling you the negative on street racing. But as I can see, after you commented, after my post, and others. You do understand, and that is cool. I do understand, that sometimes people do ask for it. So sometimes I will admit, I want to just put them in their place real quick. And like J was saying, it is probably mainly at a green light, and roughly 100 yards or so. And then I let off. So hopefully this clears up, what I originally posted. And that is also why, I told you of what I have done, or still once in a while still do.

And yes this is a great website on Z cars. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on here. And we are a family, and that is why I like coming on this site. Plus the fact I have learned a lot about these cars. And have tackled things, I never thought I would. So that is my 2 cents, no hard feelings.

We are all FAMILY Mi CASA IS YUR CASA lol

there was a kid in his lancer who kept revving the engine until he hit the rev limiter (sounded like a lawn mower engine) and there wasnt any traffic for a couple miles, we both floor it at green, i imediatly pull away, i dont even get out of second gear, before he is a few lengths behind so i let off, let him catch up, soon as he catches up, floor it and held my foot to the floor, i lost his lights somewhere after about 200' after he "cought up" but for being an auto z32 N/A that was almost to easy...

its not that im going off the wall for the fact that he did it...he did it, got caught, learnes hes lesson its life...but just posting on forums with sotries like this...people tend to lose respect for you (i think anyways), thats all im saying

"hey guys i was in jail, i beat up my wife the other day, she wouldnt cook"
little harsher example but you got my point i think. anyways glad you didnt hit sombody.

oh no doubt you know people make mistakes hell im 18 and got charged with a felony and a gross misdomenor.........and trust me im not proud at all hell i think its embarracing but you know ppl do make mistakes and im sure your guyses intentions on the posts wernt to hurt anyone and make em feel like shit and yeah some people get the wrong vibe from other people and think that they are pickin on them and callin them dip shits even though your just kinda trying to be hard on em a lil and tellin them that its stupid (its all good guys)

damn skully, that isn't right... I just lost all respect for you :D

you gotta love internet forum quoting ;)

yeah, no i think i got a general idea of whats happening to me, i wouldnt be so concerned sept im goin to be a pilot and like i was in a wierd state where i thought this was going to affect my career, but it probly wont, now im just worried on money, i can afford it but im gonna be so broke afterwords, but now i might be selling the Z to keep the family happy plus i'm off to college so gotta make sacrifices anyways. other than that, i didn't post this for a story like i think a few people assumed, if you noticed in my thread starting post i asked if anyone got cuaght and what happened to them. i did it for informative reasons, which is what a forum is for, also notice its placement in the off topic section. i thought i'd throw that up there. thought i was doing the right thing....in a way.

Skully is a bad man

Get those they help me alot when i'm going 280KPH on route 95 at 3AM.

if you can do more then 140, then you have a good chance of losing them, the cops wont chase you past 100, read up on the police driving and you will see how easy it is to defeat there menuevers.

haha, yeah but theres one thing no one can out run, and tahts radios and nextel. so once you lose one cop the next is on you. you'll have a tough time loosing them. not worth it. unless you pick up a highway right off the bat running from a local cop, then without any info he cant go on the highway he will just say F'it, thats theonly kind of running from the police i support, and running on foot, no one can get killed that way i guess lol

Yeah like what happened here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAyE-...mokey%20nagata .

if your in my little group thingy..then you get a list of the best places to hide and the best roads to get some distance on them.

right^^^^^^ that is ignorance and can hurt you later on, dont get so sure.
anyways. i just got back from ohio, holy crap am i burnt, and i also got back from court, sorry Skully i got my license back. i paid 500 for a lawyer 300 in court fees, andother 65 for driver improvement class, i have a year supervision, and i got back to court in one year for what reason i dont know. but i paid my fines and got my license back. now i drive like an angel until august 14th 2007. so nextime you think its a good idea to street race, think twice, what petter, 800 dollars and unrestricted driving privilages, or soemthing to brag about. oh yeah i got my front plate and speed charge dropped though, only charged with the racing, and after a year of good driving clean record again.
p.s. the fines for the racing could be 365 days in jail, and 2500 dollar fine. and driver license suspension. i got off easy, and it still hurt.

Does being busted count if they never caught you? Cause if it does then i;ve been busted just got away with it! HA they will never cstch me!!!!!!!

hence the word, busted. your not busted, you escaped. and wow, this post came back from the dead. and consider yourself lucky.

dang skippy

Man.. I wanna reply but I don't wanna get flamed...:022:

people only get flame'd when they say something stupid :D

EEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK!!!!


street racing is awesome. getting caught sucks.


BUT - it's only awesome when it's done in a responsibly manner. Like entropy said on page 2, I think?(or you don't get caught)


So keep it safe and get on the tracks.


that wasn't the first thing that came to my mind as a reply, but it works.

you know what they say, "it's only Illegal if you get caught" :unibrow:

haha...900 dolars later year supervision, i say there is no SAFE maner cuase you can stilll kill yourself, and its so not worth it, the track rocks any ways you can get exact times. to bad route 66 here is expensive and so many V-8 cars that scramble the brain wiht the noise....ugh. and you only get like 4 runs in a day.

Yea, finding a track is horrible.

That's probably the only reason I do race on the streets.

I'v been to one track and they only had an oval track.

come on, what ever happened to driftland??

I'm going to talk to my city next month about letting me use an abandonded parking lot. maybe they'll let me fix it up and have it, if so everyone's invited!!!



[ edit ]

after posting this I looked up and was like CRAP!!! I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE A THREAD, I WANTED TO REPLY.

then I noticed it was page 4.

we must all remember that driving is 1) a skill learned in the womb; 2 a privilege, not a right; 3 there are 4 kinds of LICE--head lice, body lice, crab lice and PO lice--never crack a joke to a po LICE man, never go FAST near a po LICE man, never have FUN near a po LICE man--they get jealous and want to have fun, too, but they're supposed to set a good example for us kiddies--do they??? and practice your story brfore they catch ya, or be good at making them up as you go??? i have too many going too fast tix--all from driving my slicktop NA--not the turbos!!

and racing was why god made SCCA

note: my friend was a cop

you can say anything to them but use this format

x = what you want to say


"In my opinion, x .............. "

because you said, "In my opinion", you are not directly saying x to the officer, you are using your constitutional right to speak and voice YOUR OPINION.



and trust me, it works.

i kinda like street racing, if there is no other cars where the race is taking place, then i would propably do it...

"i say there is no SAFE maner cause you can stilll kill yourself"

i owuld rather kill myself in a crash, then kill an inocent..

I cant say ive ever street raced but the coniquences over the reward arn't worth it. Which is probibly why I havnt yet.

And veritas, your way to handle cops is probibly the worst way i've ever heard! I am almost positive a cop doesnt want to hear your shit when you get pulled over, you got pulled over for a reason, so listen to what he has to say!

What you do is, you tell the truth because they will usually comend you for it, then when they tell you why what you did was wrong, agree with everything they say and make them feel like they're the smartest person on earth. HONESTY will get you out of a ticket, not "voicing your oppinion".

And I really dont mean to flame, I don't know maybe it works for you!:)
