Default Why are Houston people so lame?

I can't ever seem to find anyone that wants to race. I live in Kingwood, so it's not like there's a shortage of sports cars and the like, it just seems like they're all too scared they're going to break them or something. Or maybe it's just no one wants to mess with a good 'ole Vette

Careful bro, most of our mods are from the Houston area. Plus I a crap load of our members are from that general area also.

Good to see a Vette owner who will actually race his car. I think you just have bad luck. When I want to find a race all I have to do is drive around for a few minutes and I can always find a willing party

You're going to need more than the zip-tie mod.

Be careful. There is alot of houston fellas that will hand you your ***. Alot of fast cars in that area. I`m sure someone would love to race you. And with only 6 post you have to be careful what you ask for.

You could have the situation I have in Kansas City. There isnt any middle ground. Cars go from 13s to 10s on the street. Fuggin rediculous. I've yet to meet a car that was in 11s or 12s that is daily driven, met a couple 10 second dds though
