I feel this thread is necessary. Most of the racing posts here have to do with stoplight and highway encounters. Such encounters are illegal and dangerous. They reinforce the negative image we have as import tuners. Cops, older adults, media, and non-tuners all cling to the opinion that ANYONE in a modified import is a punk kid that will probably die in that noisebox they call a car. When you fly through traffic, drift around neighborhood corners, and peel out at stoplights, there is nothing to make these people think otherwise! I don't know about you, but my Aunt Ethel can't tell the difference between my car and cpmike's... they're both Hondas (not like her Caddy) with loud exhausts.
HOWEVER, this is the RACING forum. If you have a story to tell, illegal or not, tell it. IF you do not approve of illegal racing, you have two options. One, return to the index while shaking your head at the idiot who posted the story, or Two, say something CONSTRUCTIVE. If you wish to share your disapproval, do it in a respectful way. Street racing stories are welcome here, no matter how idiotic such racing may be. Any name calling, flaming, or other negative crap will recieve a warning. Do you really want to get warned for having everyone's best interest in mind? Be tactful if you MUST post about the stupidity of street racing.
For the record, CB7tuner.com and those who run it do NOT condone illegal street racing of any kind. We would like all our members to keep their lives, cars, and licenses! There are plenty of good drag strips around the country, and unlike street racing (which almost ALWAYS gets the BS flag) you can get timeslips to prove what happened!
