Ugggghhhhh jesus man. How long's it been since any of us went back there and checked it out? I bet we can we go back to any of these spots this weekend and reclaim where we came from. Even Academy on 290 was aiight. Britmore, Rankin, pinemont, Starbucks, Academy all that **** I bet we could get it back for at least ONE weekend. I just moved back to Houston last weekend. If anyone knows where people are "racing in the dark" please pm me. I'm gettin' back in it.

This reminds me of all of the spots here in DFW. Post and Paddock, Astro, Luna Rd., Bonnie View, 360, Northwest Highway, and a few more. We had a lot of spots here too. I miss those days.

and then you have this. exactly right. the penalties for getting caught are a lot higher now. back in the day, they would just run us all off and we were right back 30 minutes later. nothing like that these days....

Ughh...shittay. Well, I hope I figure somethin out here.
And yeah Boost- I remember runnin' around in the DFW area too. I used to go to South cooper past 20 back where that wal-mart was just built and run down there, GW turnpike we did some stuff. That was back in 2000-2001ish.

Aww man, I remember when I was like 8 years old(2000) my sister and I would cruise around Westhiemer all night, it was amazing. I remember going to the mall in College station and everybody had some badass Mustang, Camaro etc. Those cars where everywhere. We moved not too long after and when we went back there a few years ago there was nothing. The gas crises ran everyone off.
I wish I was born just a little bit sooner
.
We need to start setting stuff up again guys, I want to be able to experience what you guys experienced as teenagers.

lol we saw a cop at pinemont come around the corner too fast at an inersection and take out like 6 big bushes in the median, funniest thing was He never slowed down hell i think he floored when he saw the bushes, there was like 5 f-bodys at the light we were all just lookin at each other laughing our asses off. i used to race my 96 Comp T/A at Brittmore too bad they put speed bumps on that road cause it was perfect and i lived right around the corner. i miss the days of the cops just running you off, i remember my friend being at Brittmore one night when they blocked off all the exits with busses and trapped everyone in the business park then they arrested everyone and towed everyones vehicles. Rankin was awsome till they built the area up it used to be in the middle of nowhere now theres apartments like 100 yards from where we used to race sux but it was fun back in the day. my grandpa tells me storys about his 55 chevy and how he would run from cops all the time and about how it wasn't that big a deal back in the day i think that over time the crack down on street racing is gonna get worse and worse...WE NEED MORE TRACKS DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah and then there was a white ss camro that was on fats and skinnies with slicks that pulled the wheels behind the titty bar. It was during the day time and it was a ironblock ls1 motor and th400. I think he had a 2 step and a trans brake.this was prolly around 2001-2002.

yea i remember that one. that was neuhaus street. then there was the road behind the airstrip that everyone played on. someone got killed on it so they put poles in the middle of it. then eventually just dug it all up.. then theres the area where the 610 ship channel bridge sits. before that was ever built it was a 6 lane wide dead end road that everyone ran on.
