What happened to meeting up , planning something, go and run the race and then return to collect the cash. What is this running one crap box at a time for 5 hours straight? If these guys want to do that sh*t, just go to the track and leave the street racing to people who want to make some cash on the side.
Like i said, that crap is why i stay away from a lot of the local street race stuff. I have no desire to be anywhere near that. Those people give all modded car owners a bad name.

I see in California they are confiscating cars. Some get crushed and some get sold at auction. That is some scary sh*t man...expecially if you still have a car payment.

I know exactly what you mean about horrible street action. Downtown STL is pretty much a giant ******* ghetto, well anywhere but the 3 stadiums is. People go down to Hall St to race every Sunday night, and have been since the 60s. Used to be older guys in muscle cars. These days, it's just ricers and dumbfucks with money that drive like morons. The cars range from 12-18 seconds. Cops are all over and write tons of tickets, but there's so many people that the group just moves the spot. I've been down there twice in my life, and it is wayyy to crazy for me. Never brought my car down there for fear on it being destroyed. Here's a few vids:

This one has some actual decent cars, and isn't as crazy. Watch @ 0:55 though, there is a lot of that going on.

Ha, some race cars in this one:

People just line the streets, sometimes wander into them, drive like idiots between spots or cut you off trying to get in on a race. It's insane. Oh and this might give you an idiot of how stupid people are: http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/c...27992bc8b.html

They have caught both morons now.

I wonder how many offenses it takes to get your car crushed? You've only got one option when you see the red & blues, downshift and hope for the best.

Unless i get a job offer i can't refuse or something, i'll never live in cali. They are so in debt it's comical, but at least the illegals have healthcare...it only costs the state a few billion a year.

I'm going to stop at that comment, i could rant for pages about the things i can't stand in cali. I consider myself a moderate, but more liberal than conservative, and i'll be the first to say that if you put enough tofu-farting morons in one place it's going to fail miserably.

Smart move, i wouldn't bring my car there either. All you need is some moron without insurance to lose control of his 120hp ricebox and you're screwed.

Kinda like the moron that hit the flag girl...

Eh, I dunno about the rest of the U.S. but it was like that here in Cali 12 years ago. Personally, I'm glad the street racing scene here is DEAD. I'd rather the street scene not exist than have the mob-level stupidity running free like in those videos.

Not to get political, but IMHO, I'm in 'Cali for the surfing and the lack of snow which is bad news for muscle cars. Everything else about 'Cali is for the f**king queers and the goddamn illegals. If I had the money, I'd live in New York and fly out here during the weekends for the waves and fair weather cruising...
