I had my first street race over the weekend in my brothers truck. It was awesome,he raced the first one, i raced the second one.I've only felt that kind of adrenaline once before. *cough cough*. I know it was dangerous but i cant help wanting to do it more, i think i'm addicted. Any thoughts?

Aren't street races illegal?

The street races that are illegal are illegal. However, there are those organised on various circuits, airports, hippodromes or whatevers, that are legal. We have one every few months here in Zagreb, but they've botched the rules unbelieveably, so there are no fans, people just go to look at suped-up cars.

<font color=8fbc8f>A truck? A street race? Whatever!

Throw us a lug here. Post the vehicles info, plus your class, and what events you run / plan to run in, and general geographical location. </font>

Street racing is illegal in the US, and there are no sanctioned events that just anyone could get into.

It's also dangerous to participants, spectators, and anyone unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Take it to the track... that's the (relatively) safe place for racing, and you get a timeslip at the end for bragging rights. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Not that i'm condoning this sort of thing, but you're right about the adrenaline. You don't get it like that at the track.

driving fast gets your adrenaline pumping.. but im too level headed to go speeding. too dangerous i say

I'm with you on this one! ;)

It was my brothers Dodge Ram a 3500 if i'm correct,we were racing a chevy,something or another in Shepard/Mt.Pleasnt, MI.

Well, suit yourself, but if you die I'll tell you I told you so. [img]tongue.gif[/img] There's far too many roadside memorials in my town for me to ever take chances on the road.

I have no taste for it myself. I saw the hole where a carful of street racers missed a turn and went through the concrete wall of a warehouse at 160 kph (100 mph). Four dead, no survivors. The mother of a friend of mine was killed by a street racer, too. That's the other aspect of it - one bad decision at high speed and you can kill or ruin the life of somebody other than yourself.

Do what you want to, but go into it with your eyes open and don't rail against "fate" if something bad happens.
