Guys at my work in their mid 40's used to race there. I dont know why people still go there? I would think if you wanted to street race youd go about 30 mins. South of Orland and get down on a nice back country road , theres quite a few of them out there and much less chance of being caught. :shrug:

but if you do that chances are its just gonna be you and your buddies not people showing up to race. i agree it would be better somewhere like that but its the point of getting people there to make it worth while.

So your gonna say 95% of people on ls1tech are broke, cant afford more then a 10 bolt and cant afford more then a street tire if they street race it??? Most street racers using an all season tire are either slow or drive a honda.
Doesnt sound right to me!

Whats your point? I drive my car in the rain and daily occasionally in the summer so DR's wouldn't be too smart, and I don't exactly have the cash to throw down on an extra set of rims for DR's...
and I have a 10 bolt so slicks wouldn't be a very good idea. Again, not much $$ to throw down for some prostars and MT's.....
Most street racers just have regular all season or summer tires if their car is only for the summer. So whats your point? Me and 90% of the other f-body owners don't get traction when it gets cold out
Sorry we don't all have race-cars with a 9" and slicks so we can keep up with you fast guys when it gets cold out. I guess all us pussies just put our cars away for the winter...and the tracks close. I guess all the track owners are pussies too.... wait... that brings it to like 95% of people
Let me know.

i'd say 95% of the people on ls1tech have a 10bolt, and a street tire and if a certain vehicle were to catch them they'd floor it out on a country road, etc. 
Now the people directly going out to street race might have slicks/drag radials but still are rocking the 10 bolt majority of the time. Check out a test in tune at the drag strip, most of the cars there have street tires on them too, ruining the prep for those of us with slicks

I raced one heads and cam LS1 on a bigger slick than me this year, fucked him up, and now everyone in the street racing world thinks my car is fast or has a sleeper cam & ported stock heads. It isn't that fast, nor has anything but the bone stock **** from the factory, but it's set up right for what it has. It's the guys that cry for spots from a car that is slower than them that are ruining the scene. One of the many reasons why I am "retired"

I never said 95% of the people on Tech are broke, I just said they have 10 bolts.... and don't care to spend the amount of money necessary to get something better. And most people who are racing on the street aren't rolling around with VHT in their trunk with a sticky tire unless their going for big money in a rediculous car. I see most street racers out there on street tires....
I've seen a ton of street racing and never seen somebody pull the VHT out. So it can't be a big percentage of them doing it.
Also, most of the times I race on the street it wasn't planned so.... again just like Steve said, a car pulls up next to you and you 2 go at it. I guess I'm not a hardcore street racer....

FWIW, I have gone 1.47 60 fts, and both 11.42 in this car, and 10.86 in my other car with a 10 bolt. I have never broken a gear or posi, I always bend the housing. It is all in how you set it up. 10 bolts have been proven to be in some very fast cars.

I still have the rolling chassis, but I am not planning on doing anything with it...
I have a few other projects I am working on, should be released this sping. I assume this is Jim?
