I keep seeing loads and loads of people say,

"Streetracing :thumbsdow "
"Streetracing gay" etc..


Just curious who here hasnt ever raced someone off of the lights? or gone to a back road/logging road and gaver shit?
Or opened your car up on the highway? It's still streetracing, and how does this make you any different from the people you call fags?

You know you all have!


Ps, dont flame just seeing what people actually do.
Try and be honest.

The reason is that we must not ENCOURAGE this behavour on the forums. Otherwise it would have been shut down a long time ago. We all know its going on, does not mean we have to post about it.

Try and be honest. of course everyone does that stuff uve described. its hard to resist having some fun with your car when given the chance. what people are against is organized street racing, like the BS races on saturday nights.

We are all enthusiats here so everyone of us is guilty in some form. I enjoy a stoplight to stoplight run against an equal competitor but bringing your mom's camry to the saturday night shitshow is just gay IMO.

Have you ever been to that shit? Bunch of 16 year olds racing cavaliers and sunfires. Cranking there factory systems so loud that you can hear the high pitched squeal of eminem from deerfoot.

There's no difference between "organized" street racing and red light racing. Both instances you are agreeing to do something illegal. So how can some of you defend racing from a light and then say racing with a crowd of people around you as wrong? Doesn't make sense to me.

Just my 2cents.

Light to light = Most of the time it's under 100K and is pretty much a 1st to 2nd gear run. Alot less obvious and more socially acceptable.

Sat night Races (AKA ShitRaces) = Going down an unlit industrial area in your moms neon at speeds of over 100KPH while being intoxicated and listening to Good Charlotte on your stock deck. the cops know that happens and it's only a matter of time before they lose their licenses and possibly kill someone.

They are both illegal but IMO light to light is the lesser of two evils.

I'm not sure what shitraces you've been out to but that has never been my experience. True that a few times there are those kids with their parents cars other times some really nice muscle. I guess it's the time you come out. Keep in mind those kids do have a curfew, :D

i must admit, i street race, light to light, and also i goto the BS saturday nights, but i dont race there...whuts the point in racing on a fake 1/4mile...i onl go with my friends for a nice cruise, we dont race...

also, a race is a race, whether its organized or light to light...u can still cause an accident:werd:

I went there about 7 years ago. There was a 900hp mustang ripping up the street and that was pretty cool to watch.

I used to have to drive my GF home in Lynwood right beside the truck stop. Every saturday the parking lot by the timmys was full of J-bods, civics with fart cans and a smattering of minivans and ford tauruses. It got so bad that they posted security guards at the entrances that asked you what you were doing there. They have had a few incidents in the past that really gave the whole crowd a bad name. It's no longer the romantic "two cars and the road" It's now "two kids and the crack".

Um, that could be one of the stupidest things I've heard in awhile. Neither are socially acceptable in my opinion. Street racing is dumb. Plain and simple.

The only place where racing is socially acceptable is the track.

90% of people who have put performance work into there cars will probably "race" another car at one point or another.
UNLESS, you are just one of those dumbshits with shiny 14" rims and a 4.5"exhaust, and say its all show.....

yea i've taken the odd spin like 2 months ago, some wigger in a 95 civic hatch back wanted to race my 91 Z24 well I handed his ass to him but i hav'nt raced since i'm waiting for race city to open up. I hav'nt been there yet.

02-18-2005, 03:12 PM
My car isnt fast and even if it was there would be no street drags because racing tickets are pretty harsh these days!!

If im rippen on the highway though i don't feel guilty for baggin the shit out of my car and if anyone has a problem with this get out of my way and into the right lane where u belong!!!

It's more dangerous to drive in the left lane and slow down traffic than it is to speed,
LEFT LANE = PASSING LANE :guns:

Wow this is the feedback I was looking for.

Grew up in bc now live here in calgary the past two years, and I must say the roads here suck ass.

Gotta love the bc mountain roads... Logging roads for rallying and the small town lack of traffic...


But I didnt mention I do not agree with the 16yrold mini van organized racing at all. Why organize races, I only believe in if someone revs it beside it, the road's clear, sure i'll show him who's boss.


Just like the turbo grand am on 16th west, just outside of calgary limits thought he could take dads viper hahahahaha!

i only do it with my friends when we go places together. it's not like we organize it, it just happens that we both are the 1st cars in each lane sometimes so we just go at it from stoplight to stoplight. it's still wrong but w/e. other then that, i never race or anything with my stock POS

I am against organized racing, but late at night when its clear of traffic its fun. But the organized illegal street races are plan stupid, they meet up get drunk or what ever, just plan stupid and I have heard stories back in high school of people flipping cars, getting in accidents due to extreme retarded driving.

drifting on the other hand...before we never had a place to go and a few of my friends would find a spot where there was never any traffic and we would have a bit of fun. Now we have a location that is offering us a safe envirnoment where we can do what we love. I think as you age things start to become more clear and you just get bored of "racing" around the city. To me the best thing that ever happened to my driving was buying my golf, crap the thing is slow as hell and when you have your foot all the way down it just eats your gas away. so for the past 6 months it has taught me to drive safe and stick to the speedlimit. but seriously it gets really boring driving like an idiot.

I admit to having participated in both kinds of street racing at one point or another, although the "organized" timmies crowd was back in my days with the spec V...driving from place to place waiting for the cops to bust you kinda wears thin after a while...

Theres different levels of illegal activity. Take a look at the different colours of traffic tickets. :rolleyes: Duuuu'h

Is there a difference in stunting at a red light and stunting at the shit shows? I dunno, you guys tell me.

02-19-2005, 12:49 PM
from my prospective on this forum

A. the organized street races suck, so who goes anyway:rolleyes:
B. if someone pulls up to me in a nice car at the stop light i will give it a go if the traffic is light, and at night.

Marek you are correct, the ticket is pretty much identical for organized racing and going light to light.

This is the thing I wanted to bring up, see what people think.


There are always other things they can tack on for oragnized racing like blocking roads, drinking and driving etc..

the street races are a joke. its a bunch of fags in shitty cars that all drive like their are compensating for their tiny penises. occasionally some nice cars show up.. but they just stop by tim's, set there for awhile, and then leave. one night a blue NSX with some nice rims, a sweet S14, and a very nice Prelude all rolled into together, but the regular crowd is a bunch of idiots.

funny that you think this is somehow the fault of the street races...if your car:
1. wasn't to low
2. didn't have clear corners
3. wasn't illegally tinted
4. didn't have an obnoxiousely ricey exhaust
you wouldn't have gotten any tickets

Hahaha dem street races is money Y'o all it takes is a 10 second car and some big mussle buddies to clean that scene up and make it tollerable again. although i dont think i have ever street raced in my life, it would in a way be interesting to have an organized underground scene, or a midnight club at a sanctioned drag strip.

but well Street racing is indeed not a very prudent thing to do, i suppose when you are young and think you are in controll of the world, its easy to forget about all the moms and dads, brothers, sisters, neices, nephews and basically all those people we care about, share the same roads with us.

I think it would be nice to have a year round track fro drag and auto cros

never said that your car was ricey...just said that it had tint, exhaust(which chances are if you were issued a ticket for it sounded ricey, as I have dual 3" tips and have never gotten a ticket) and clear corners.

02-20-2005, 09:00 PM
it has happened before...and cops have gone "under cover" and made recordings of plate numbers and vehicles and that whole thing. most charges were dropped, or easily fought. a digital camera would do you no good as it doesn't show a race taking place...it just shows two cars. Even a video you can't tell how fast the cars are going for sure so it might be hard to do anything...

either way the races are a joke, when I used to go out you were lucky if you got 10 races off before the cops showed.

there are some decently fast cars that go out to that crowd...but honestly most of the big boys hang out down town...basically if you have a 13 second car you are among the fastest of the timmies crowd, and among the slowest of the down town boys...

Organized street racing is stupid, and it gives the rest of us a bad name by association. That said, whenever I have an onramp or clear stretch of road with good visibility, I'll be going as hard as I can. I'll also do a light-to-light once in a while, but only if the conditions are right. As with anything, you just have to use your head and exercise some discretion.

it's true, those guys that meet in the lots downtown have some baaad ass cars. last time I saw them they were was a bright green old Plymouth with a gigantic cowl hood... with the hood sitting on the roof and his completely chromed big block gleaming under the lights.

funny how I can get ticketed for having legal headlight bulbs just because I am in the general area of that tim's. I have Sylvania Silverstar headlights, but even though I had the legality slip thing in my hand I still got the ticket and a few others I've talked to got them too, plus other tickets for being too low and so on. they were all thrown out, but hey. maybe being there did have something to do with the lack of leiniency (sp) on the cop's part.

And finally.... I think "real" organized street racing is WAY better and WAY safer then the morons that dice it up on public roads, on off ramps etc or race light to light on streets with other cars on them or with pedestrians on the sidewalks....

At least at the "real" street races, you are on roads where no one else is.

ALL the fatality's of bystanders I have read about in the US were of the light to light street racing.... not the kind that happens late at night on a deserted road.

There is a difference between driving hard when it's safe to do so on a public road, and weaving in and out of traffic like a moron.
The fatalities you hear about are usually not quick light to light races, they are longer, higher speed races for the most part.
As for the onramp thing, :bullshit: show me a case where a bystander was injured on an onramp with no traffic and clear visibility. Also, to keep things in perspective, how many bystanders are injured or killed by cars going less than 50km/h? The vast majority of pedestrian incidents.

First of all.... "quick light to light races" in anything but 16 second Hondas can reach speeds of 150+ km/hr.

I know several cases in CALGARY alone that have killed people while losing control on offramps/onramps (one was a good friend - and idiot - about 15 years ago) - he lost control on the onramp and slid over the guardrail onto the street below.

And who races only to 50km/hr? What are you 16 driving? mommy's Honda? Man, even the Honda races I see ON THE STREET are usually doubling the speed limits light to light, on Macleod, down crowchild, hell, even 17th.

Like I said, organized street races are much safer, late at night on deserted roads.

It's NEVER safe driving hard on public roads. YOu can never account for all the possible variables. If you are gonna drive like an idiot, join the idiots at Tim Horton donuts, and natural selection will take its course among willing participants, not innocent bystanders on "public" streets ;)

Anywhere anytime.... it can be just me and you in foothills industrial, or at the track, or whatever. We often meet up on some deserted roads on a lovely Sunday afternoon ;)

And you better bring something faster then your 16 second 94 GT.... maybe borrow your daddy's car :poosie:

Hahahhahahaaa....ok ok, wait, I wont even bring the fast car... you can start with my Dodge Omni :rofl:

I am sure the Merkur would prove quite adequate for most contenders at Timmies, Toma....

If you would have took time to comprehend what I was saying, you would realize that the point was people that don't pay attention while driving at low speeds are more of a threat that people who pay full attention at higher speeds. I didn't say anything about racing at 50 km/h.

In this whole thread you have been nothing but a hypocrite, preaching from your moral high horse about the evils of irresponsible driving on the street, while openly admitting doing just that yourself. I don't care if the streets you go to are deserted....a public street is a public street.

Also, if you make attacks on me when you don't know me and don't know anything about me, it makes YOU look like the one who's 16 :)

Your elitist "Im a better driver then most people" attitude is what kills people. When you grow up, you wil realize that everyone THINKS they can drive, very few actually can.

Keep your shitbox under the speed limit in the city, and we will all be safer :poosie:

And if you cannot recognize the difference between a deserted road late at night with only 1 way in or out and the "public streets".... well whatever

ive been to the tim hortons races a couple times. occasionally some nice cars show up but the usual crowd is a bunch of redneks in beat up trucks automatic sedans (doing neutral drops LMAO) or slow everyday stock cars. when i go there i go only to check out the cars and meet some people i know, but i do find it funny when some people come up to me and say "u wanna have a run", haha only to get rejected (happens every time).

light to light races i do try to do it as litle as possible, mainly because i keep thinging that there is a cop around the corner.


IMO i like to push my car every now and then BUT only when im 100% sure it is safe to do so

Well, seeing as I have been driving 11 years without an accident, I don't feel elitist saying I am doing a better job driving than most people in this city.

And if you want to trash "shitboxes" and by that I assume you mean Hondas and imports in general (as most meat headed domestic owners do), you should probably find another forum to do it in.

perhaps you should check toma's website, or maybe ask someone that knows a LITTLE about the calgary muscle car scene before you decide that insulting his candor about street racing is really the best course of action. He's probably one of the few people from the "muscle" crowd that even bothers with being on this board, there isn't a single honda in calgary that will come close to touching 90% of the cars downtown.
I think maxt's car would probably end up being one of the only 2wd imports in calgary that would be close. even better, still, why don't you search around for the video of the mustang anihalating the nitrous hyabusa, and ask toma about that car, because if I understand it correctly, he's part of that group.

I respect Toma and I pay homage to the Mustang, but that doesn't mean I will agree with everything that is said based on that alone. Questioning someones views is not insulting them.

Don't even have a car worth dragging... but I do it anyways... Proally a good thing I'm only riding on a 135 ponies...
But either way I agree with most people, street racing isn't the smartest thing in the world to be doing... especially on public city roads... If I do race I try to be as smart about it as I can... Nite time only, on roads with little traffic and away from homes and with good visibility to the sides... ie, There's certain stretches along Crowfoot that seem fairly suitable... I'm sure most others here follow similar guidelines... But then you have jackheads who are dragging along 68th st. at night waking all the peeps in Monetery and Coral Springs... That's just retarded... people are always walking around that area late at night too... Stupid place to race... Places like deerfoot, and Country hills blvd. are iffy to me... I am ded scared of cops on deerfoot... Either way, it's just a fact of life that people are gonna do it... So far it's been a while since I've read an article in the paper about street racing... so it's pretty obvious that most people in this city, and on this forum, are pretty level headed. IMO, as long as you're not taking huge unnecesary risks, and putting others in danger... then so be it... It's still an illegal activity tho, I won't ever complain if I get caught... :werd: Old Banff Coach is proally the crazziest drive's I've ever taken... not the smartest one tho... And yes, B.C. has some of the funnest roads to drive around on.

The shit show races at timmys are a fucking joke.

I have absolutely no respect for the "regulars" that frequent there with their high horse, we're so goddamn great, attitude.

I go there in a NA 1992 Eagle Talon and people start asking me if I want a run, and I literally went because I wanted a coffee and was in the area.

yea... lets race a 2.0L 4 banger econobox, that's only running 135HP, with a beat in fender. Congratulations, you must be proud.

ok you boys have been watching waaay too much initial D or sumthin. Who in their right mind would road race somone else, on PUBLIC streets? Not only would you have to watch out for oncoming traffic, how your car is behaving and the cops; but now you have to worry about wht the other guy is doing too? That is just downright retarded. What I was talking about was just finding a deserted stretch of twisty road and having fun. ie: (1 car at a time). Illegal street drags like the ones at Timmies, are done in completely deserted areas, so the only (real) danger is to the competitors. What should be cracked down and policed with a heavy hand are the asses that go racing on Deerfoot weaving in and out of traffic, thinking they are Mario Andretti. For them I have no sympathy, and as a result, we are all labelled as one of them in the eyes of the police.:guns:

MY buddy wrote off his truck, a power pole and about 50M worth of some guys fence. At least no one was hurt, but there was substantial property damage.

Then again, not like they put anyone else at risk right? :rolleyes:

1. Your retarded buddy shouldn't have been doing anything in a truck, which is why shit happens to stupid people.
2. As long as the driver knows what the risks are and isn't endangering anyone else, it's OK with me. It's when you have these drivers doing this on busy streets and highways where there are families who arn't prepared to take the same risks and whose well being depends on your driving skills and judgement (or lack there of in your buddies case) is when it is a problem.
Glad no one was hurt, but hopefully it knocked some sense into him.
