Read the title of the forum.

Street Racing and Kills.

Please do not post anything not related to this section.

In the "who will win" threads, there was no street race to be told about. There was no kill in a street race to read about. Please do not clutter up this section of LS1 Tech with that garbage.

The fun in racing is FINDING OUT who wins. Someone has a faster car? So what, build yours up, buy a faster one, or drive a Civic.

Bash me for this post all you want, it's the truth and it should stop.

Do you post about window motors in the F/I section? Well I hope not.

Dan

I killed an electric powered golf cart in a gas powered golf cart today.
(Cart racer narrative mode on)
I was just cruisin' up to the club (the golf club actually, I work at a resort) chillin', not really lookin' fo' any races you know. And theres this like busted ghetto electric cart ahead of me. I start to pass this foo's ***, and I see him look over at me. Hes got that look on his face like "no way biotch". I see him mash the peddle to the floor..harder. So I jus' mash my peddle down too. But damn! I still gots the weak *** limiter. So I start to pass him, but then the motor cuts out. Everytime I get a little further ahead though. By the end of the race he was 4 cart lengths back. Owned bizzznatch!
(Cart racer narative mode off)

No this did nto really happen. But hey, theres a "kill" in here. That makes this thread OK.

I actually have raced 2 go-carts, (golf carts) and one was electric and the other gas. The electric took the gas one out of the hole by a LARGE MARGIN, (say 5-10 cart lengths) but the gas one pulled on the top end.

Since this is a kill thread, my car just recently killed his own alternator. I could always tell they were not getting along so well....was so sad, specially because I almost lost a hand changing the sucker....
