Definition of a Street Racer??

[FearDaBoo]

I would like to know Your ideas of what a street racer is. I am not and have never claimed to be one so don't go there. However if i were to be one or a sprouting young driver aspiring to be one, and researched my way to this site. What might I think a Street Racers was. I asked myself this here what I see.

1. First and most shocking to me is that you don't need a car or at least not one that runs.

2. You need a lot of free time to hang out and make fun of people, and blow smoke up your own ass on the computer.

3. You must absolutely never take a chance and run somebody that may be as fast or faster than you at running your mouth or car. Lets not leave out us bench racers.

4. When given a venue or an event at which to enjoy this lifestyle. You must always complain and criticize.

5. Apparently you must spend more time pasting pics of your buddies face on images nudity most involving penis or ass, or penises in ass.

6. And this one is very important, always know its never your fault and the other guy always did it wrong.

7. And last but not least is you must never actually race, Now this is very important.

And remember your buddies car is always faster than the other guys, buddies car that the two of you are nut swinging on.

Again this is just what I have noticed since being around this site.

Now shut the fuck up and get your ass of the computer for a little while and go out and race.

:scared2: :freak:

And please feel free to add to the list. Im not perfect and am sure I missed a thing or two. :think:

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Good Point! But, when I have a big ass mortgage and 4 high maintanance teens...Hard to race every weekend! :yup: But I Will be there on the 8th to lay some smackdown on a few pore ass souls!:wow: Hope to see ya there!! :cool:

[SCJ514]

Im in the same boat:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[super pro joe]

There are not too many "true to the culture" street racers left on this website(created to give street racers a place to go along with the CHAOS events!).And guys that had shootout cars tried to turn STREET CAR CHAOS into another NMCA............didnt fuggin' happen thank god!:pissed: The definitions you posted are basically for all the posers that dont and never have street raced!:rolleyes: The true street racers are still out there.......but,dont talk too much on this website.

[shotglas]

Somebody bring some Birthday cake!!! :banana1: :beer: I'll be 50 + 1 day on the 8th!:cheers:

[shotglas]

Just a small question..... Doesn't a street racer suppos'd to have a street legal car that can whip a Trailer queen at will ? :ohyea:

[shotglas]

Hey Boo!!! Your guest book is overflowing :laughing: :laughing: :yup:

[super pro joe]

Just a small question..... Doesn't a street racer suppos'd to have a street legal car that can whip a Trailer queen at will ? :ohyea:
No....a street racer has a car that he will run on the street flat da' fugg out! The argument over what a street car is.....is play'd out!!!! Shure,i wouldnt expect a 540 with two dominators car to run a car with a 406 small block with a 850 carb.......but,real street racers go after cars like their own and dont beg for fuggin' spots all the time!!! The street car issue is a "crutch" for mofo's that dont want to race or want a easy win!

[Jim Morris]

hell, i know someone who's like that his name is scott mckinney with the SMM BULLSHIT!

[super pro joe]

I wanted to add that there are cars that run on pump gas and get driven alot,have street tires......im not diss'n these cars cause they are cool as hell too! But,when it comes to serious double throw down street racing.....there are some cars on the ragged edge(but...are still street racer cars!).

1. It's a tech at a drag strip that does bot know anything about make a car go fast....... for that matter..... maybe don't know how to work on one!!!! :eek:

2. Or Somebody that don't know what the fuck they're talking about!!!

:yup: .............:yup: ............ :yup:









OR
Just Maybe, A street racer is someone that races there car on the STREET!!!!!

Lets see........ if the police pulls up to two cars that are about to race, does he say:
:think: .............. This is a head-up race. We can't give the a ticket for street racin!!! :dunno:



:think: .....Hmmm ............ STREET RACER...........:think:
Kind of a tuff one!!!!!
Maybe a Brain Surgeon can Goggle this one!!!!

Wow..... Go out drinking and find yourself drug in a thread...... :D

Anyway my thoughts on Street Racing......

Firstly it's nothing like it used to be, thus SCC is about all I'll even mess with anymore....

There was a time when everybody had a first name and not an internet name....

A pager and a bag\brick phone were about your only options to get a hold of someone...

If you wanted to see how fast someones car was you raced them heads up.... Not do an internet search to see if you can get any times to pop up... .

There was a time where racers would hang out and not play gay music loud to get get the spot noticed and get everyone kicked out....

There was a time where racers would throw there trash away to help with not getting kicked out of a spot....

There was a time you'd roll up on the street, do a quick burn-out, and get the race off even if you were driving the car sideways down the street....

Anyway.... I forgot what the topic was even about now......:cry:

:patriot:

:yup: :yup: i agree, a street race should be set up at a gathering(parking lot)got to the place to race, do the race, then go back to the gathereing! bottom line!!!!!!!!!!!! not stand around where your going to race at, thats like standing around the property of a house your going to rob! some people are stupid as can be, i once seen a street race that was about to happen, and this cocksucker seen a semi comming down the street and he wasn't going to move, he wanted the semi to pullover(with 3' of gravel on either side of the road....yeah right!):fyou: that was enough to piss the semi driver off, and it wasn't long after that, the law came:think: wonder why? another thing, i never could understand the reasoning on doty road, why you would always race towards a crowd of people, the road goes in both directions, race away from the people:yup: S T U P I D !!!!!!! there is many ways to avoid capture from street racing, if people would just PLAY IT SMART!!!!
just my .02

[X-bredbitch]

:yup: PK you said it, we just delt with the same shit last night the race was supp. to be set up over the phone yesterday:wow: Both crews got there to the race scene just to renegotiate the terms of the race that lasted about 1hr while the crowd of well over 200 people got restless. They blocked pumps at the gas station did burnouts in stock cars wheelied and raced on bikes:bs: and then the cops came:pissed:

That's another good point.... We would never run if there was a crowd in front of the start.... You'd have one of your friends from each side down at the end to hold the money.... Otherwise everyone was behind the cars....

The other thing I HATE is all the video cameras..... I have never felt a smart thing to do is video yourself committing a crime.....

Ya' know it seems that everyone has street raced once......that dont mean you know and live the culture! Yes,racing towards crowds,too many bystanders,ect.,ect.....STUPID SH*T! But,those who take the underground culture serious......use our heads and police ourselves....SAFETY TOO! Nobody said it was legal or safe.......if you dont street race,thats great....FOR YOU! I've stood on back streets all over this country with a crew i still run with and some people live it! When i met Denny he was a serious street racer and when he decided to create STREET CAR CHAOS i was behind him 100%(even though some say its generic street racing).This post shouldnt turn into a whats right or wrong about street racing......because if you dont live the culture......you shouldnt really comment on it!

If it went like this less people would get caught and hang out spots wouldnt get ruined... Although a lot of the roads you guys raced on just 10 yrs ago are now surrounded by houses , etc.. The new movies and younger crowd also doesnt help much.. Loud systems , riced out cars , etc.. :dunno:

TRUE :yup:

[redtrunk]

Also , how fast were cars back in the early 90's on the street? From what I hear you were the top dog if you had a 12.00 car.. These days people have a lot faster cars so they want to prep their lane for 300' which takes time , cops come , etc... :)

No shit to that.... Dukes, Jan's, Mickey D's at 159 (before the Hot Dog joint or the play ground)..... Ruined or gone..... (yeah that was more like 16+ yrs ago)....

I drove down the infamous Rigeland the other day (since I live out here) and that road is totally shot now.... Brings a tear to my eye everytime I go down it and think how OLD I am getting....:cry:

You're right Joe I have never LIVED it..... I used to surround myself with it.... I drifted off on to the Fastest Street Car movement as I felt it was a better place to beat your chest..... Besides how long does it take for people to find out how fast your car is..... Especially now days.....

[pkracing]

Also true.... other than a select few if you ran 11.90s you were the shit....

Remeber the days where double hump heads were the shit..... :think: :laughing:sorry, not where i've seen, man around '93(i remember) there was 2 big tire camaro's they were full blown race cars racing, they had to be at least 8sec. camaro's, i seen these guys holding a huge stack of bills and the race was on, one dude popped his motor on the launch, the other dude sat there all along the guy that popped his motor was making it down to the other end and then shots broke out due to arguing about who aint gunna pay:eek:

This article is in my colletion of street racer stuff for life! And it changed my life after i read it,we loaded up in my buddies moms station wagon one fridaynight and drove to DUKE'S(still have a jacket!) to see the real sh*t! We saw a old pro-stock vega on a trailer across the street and numerous wild ass cars in the shadows! Oh,how do i know it was a old pro-stock vega.....they white washed the whole car and under the thin layer of white paint you could still see decals and Jenkins Competition on the hood scoop(yes...i said Jenkins Competiton...as in "Grumpy":scared: ).The car also had the 'ole school shopping cart wheelie bars,this was the summer of 1982!After that night i made lots of trips to Chi-town and made alot of freinds,me and Vanilla and a wild crew of characters(Peanut,crazy richie,chrome wells,twin,ect!)made the old DOTY Road are home!!! We actually became hired guns(drivers),did maintenance,held money,towed cars for quite a few southside street racers through the 80s! And i still hit 130th and other spots when i can......it aint dead!!!;)

I flipped da' fugg out cause the camaro was open headers,one seat,all lexan and the driver carried a big ass snake with him on shoulder!!!:eek: He lost the race cause his car threw the driveshaft out(it flew across the windshield of a car with two people makin' out...swear to god!:p: ).

street racing is still alive and kicking...HARD! don't beleive it? come and check out the scene this saturday after the lansing cruise night. usually about 100-150 cars and its 99% american v/8 muscle, pm me if you want to know about it, or find my chevelle at the cruise night!

Oh,so now your going to go off on me because im not driving my own car? Thats some cold sh*t dennis(and you know i have nothing against you!)......so i guess i will have to just buy out my partner some how and come wit' it! Cause i have done more driving than you this summer im shure,not just in Illinois either! But,thats ok.....true street racers that work with a crew and not driving their own sh*t deserve no respect i guess!:think:

Besides not having much $ to give away to the person Id be racing , I also worry about getting caught.. Its a lot different these days.. What happened 15 years ago if you were caught racing? Did they give you a $2500 fine? Court? Jail? Impound car? Im sure you didnt get off totally , but its no where as bad as it is these days.. Its cool if you guys can do it , but for a lil guy like myself , I cant see giving the insurance company and state anymore $ than I have to. :)

Hell I remember going to the Skyway and Chgo's finest would stop traffic just so we could get off the races.....I'm talking about low 8second cars:yup: The good ole days We used to ride out to Schaumburg and see enclose trailers w/Pro Stocks SS hitting the street . I seen my fair share of street races as well raced in them. Now a days I don't even want to watch......hell they are coming down on the spectators just as hard as they are coming down on the racers.........Now a days it's not worth it. I still support it but from a distance. Times are changing cars are quicker and you got to many inexperience drivers. Just my .02 cents

Yeah Joe, but I really have think about it also because I sound like I'm contradicting myself........I'm against a lot of illegal things and street racing is illegal.......so are drugs I'm totally against that shit, but not against STRCN catch my drift. Thanks though you knew what I was saying.

[Draggin My X]

Actually X you dont need to defend yourself.. i like Joe but ..when the last time he was racing HIS car?


Well,i dont fuggin' take jabs to the head very well too.......and i follow them up with a chin check!!! So,if you think i was personally pickin' on you.....look for me at the next CHAOS and we can talk about it!;)



I'm Kool!!! :yup:
I can talk shit with the best of 'em

I've been on those street for a long time. When I started Street Racing the D*** spot you guys are talking about was across the bridge from the Gas station, before moving closer to the Fire station. When they first started racing by the fire station, they would run the cars heading south, but learn the fast cars couldn't slow down quick enough before entering a curve in the road. A couple of guys flip their cars. I knew one of them. That's when they started running the cars north.
There were a few more Hot racing spots along the Dan (close to/by the projects), but you want to find a race anttime of the week, you would head over to the westside of Chicago.
Names are being witheld to protect the Guilty!!! :laughing: :laughing:

This article is in my colletion of street racer stuff for life! And it changed my life after i read it,we loaded up in my buddies moms station wagon one fridaynight and drove to DUKE'S(still have a jacket!) to see the real sh*t! We saw a old pro-stock vega on a trailer across the street and numerous wild ass cars in the shadows! Oh,how do i know it was a old pro-stock vega.....they white washed the whole car and under the thin layer of white paint you could still see decals and Jenkins Competition on the hood scoop(yes...i said Jenkins Competiton...as in "Grumpy":scared: ).The car also had the 'ole school shopping cart wheelie bars,this was the summer of 1982!After that night i made lots of trips to Chi-town and made alot of freinds,me and Vanilla and a wild crew of characters(Peanut,crazy richie,chrome wells,twin,ect!)made the old DOTY Road are home!!! We actually became hired guns(drivers),did maintenance,held money,towed cars for quite a few southside street racers through the 80s! And i still hit 130th and other spots when i can......it aint dead!!!;)

Nope, scene ahs changed, but it aint dead. Buddy of mine went to doty just last week. BUNCH of imports now, but still kickin.

Hell I remember going to the Skyway and Chgo's finest would stop traffic just so we could get off the races.....I'm talking about low 8second cars:yup: The good ole days We used to ride out to Schaumburg and see enclose trailers w/Pro Stocks SS hitting the street . I seen my fair share of street races as well raced in them. Now a days I don't even want to watch......hell they are coming down on the spectators just as hard as they are coming down on the racers.........Now a days it's not worth it. I still support it but from a distance. Times are changing cars are quicker and you got to many inexperience drivers. Just my .02 cents

left it behind 4 years ago, never plate the car so I don't get tempted. don't put mufflers on the car so I don't get tempted. Got too much going with my license to get caught bein dumb.

This was at the southbend Ind. summer nattionals(im not shure what year).....i had won the loud mouth drags twice at Duqoin Il street machine nationals and twice at southbend! Hey,my car didnt win any trophies......but i did damn it!(and dennis....my car was there too!).:p:

The other thing I HATE is all the video cameras..... I have never felt a smart thing to do is video yourself committing a crime.....


......I remember way back in the early 80's, when it was like REALLY rare to see a video camera, we'd set up stuff at Dukes and then head out to one of many spots, and if it was high profile cars, u'd see somebody bust out some 35mm camera's or sumthin'.....but u almost never knew if there was video cuz it'd be dark and the dude would be in the crowd....but u could see the flashes from the camera's.........and THAT was even a kinda new thing....takin' stills at a street race......but it was cool......but alot of things have changed....now it's like fox news and shit....EVERYBODY's rollin' film these days....but i dont mind it......it'll be cool shit to show ur kids about ''back in the day'' and all......i wish i had video of all my street racin' back in the eighties........*sniff* *sniff*......all i can do is open the garage and look at the car and remember the times.....i cant believe i still have a car that i bought in high school......wierd.
