>born too late for the street race scene
Why even drive
>>
Street racing is gay, conefagging is gay, crossing the solid lines in blind corners on canyons is gay, tracking on 0w20 without oil coolers is gay
>>
>Born just in time for the TFaTF street racing craze.
It was awesome. You could randomly get in a race on any day any time.
We really did shut down streets and line up cars for drag races as everyone did drug deals on the side. Zoomers are weak.

I always cross the lines and everyone calls me crazy. Not crossing the lines has caused more accidents than crossing them. I've seen way more people wreck because they went too fast and tried to stick to "their" side and slid off the road. Whereas they could have dove to the inside of the corner and exited to the outside.

still alive, might do it as a 40 or 50 years crisis.

It got too hectic.
One night all the domestic rolled into an industrial complex- too about 15 minutes for all the cars to get parked.
Then the imports showed up and it was another 15 minutes.
Hundreds of cars.
First cars lined up and the cops rolled in behind them as the flag dropped (glad i wasnt one of those retards).
Absolute chaos as everyone tried to bail
>>
>>28700156
Had something similar happen BITD, I had just ran my 5.0LX against a B swapped EG and cops swooped in. Shit was not cash.

Or, crazy concept, you manage your speed so you don't have to leave your lane to stay on the road. If you're overspeeding your visual braking distance on the street, you are a certified nigger.

ricer street racing isnt real street racing, good riddance
>>
I just want to start a team bros.
>>
For me its being a low budget team in the same garage as a multi-million dollar factory team.

You may not be as fast as the GT3s but you still race into the same sunrise.
>>
>>28699388
You weren't born to late to go street racing, just depends on what your local scene looks like; there are probably lots of active teams near you, but they survive off of not broadcasting themselves to the world. What region of the country are you in? Assuming you're in the US

We used to race behind a grocery store on an access road for a small airport. was pretty much like the movie.the cops would come watch and some times run their cars also. different times

>born too late to not realize not every thing in the movies was real

>>28699388
you also missed out on the street drifting scene. It was never that huge here in the UK, but there were certain industrial parks where madlads with welded diffs used to cut loose with volvos and beemers. Good times. Occasionally a rich cunt would turn up with some hot JDM import, like an s13 or a skyline gt.
Dunno why that scene died. The filth (police) never paid us too much attention. I guess we just got old, and clutchs, diffs, tyres, gearboxes, etc, get expensive.
>>
>>28700542
It died for the same reason all scenes like it die. Normies learn about it and dilute it and cause chaos.
Like look at canyon time attack stuff in socal. It's a shit show now of normies trying to be initial d. It used to be relatively exclusive and people would use radios for clearing sections, took the safety of others seriously in this way, but normals don't know anything about that or just don't care so it gets a bad rap and cracked down on.
>>
>>28700542
my guess is all the cheap lightweight rwd cars of the 80s were crashed into lamp posts and the more modern rwd cars are 1700kg land barges with a 2 liter diesel and thus unsuitable for hooning and hektik skidz
also I guess zoomers prefer to stay at home and doomscroll on tiktok
>>
>>28700570
zoomers are a very weird breed. hyper aware of scene, but refuse to participate in it.
I blame the interwebs.
>>
>>28699388
It's still happening you're just not in we're just more lowkey about it.
>>
>>28700512
>the cops would come watch and some times run their cars also. different times
this is unironically good policing. they build rapport with the community and if anything goes wrong they're already on the scene.

i think the answer to illegal street racing, takeovers/sideshows, etc. is to built more race tracks and make them more affordable/accessible.
get people to take some safety courses, agree to some requirements, and sign liability waivers. then just have some firefighters and EMTs on hand in case there's an accident.
unfortunately this would be a hard sell to the average middle-aged or elderly voter that hates young people and doesn't want their tax money funding their fun.
>>
>>28700899
This won't work. There's no policy or access that fixes low iq people

We currently have issues with low class welfare recipients stealing dirt bikes and riding through main streets doing wheelies

There are bush tracks, fire trails, and an mx park nearby. The issue isn't cost or access

It's just low iq loitering and wanting attention and disrupting the average citizen
>>
>>28700899
>the solution to crime is to just build more basketball courts
or you could just enslave all the niggers instead, and if you want a fucking hobby, pay for it yourself instead of expecting the state to subsidize your shitty ricing hobby. not like it would do anything to the crowd who watched F&F and just wants to street race
>>
>>28699643
Typical dark skin behaviour
>>
>>28700899
The answer is that we need to seriously restrict access to cars. The barrier to entry needs to be higher, otherwise everything is just going to stay flooded with retards that have no business driving making it less safe for everyone.
>>
>>28700899
Just block off streets for race events. They do that in Japan. Block off a street, local rally race or time attack happens, everyone is happy.
More tracks is nice, but they’re expensive and don’t involve the local community as much.
>>
>>28700899
not street racing but offroad. i was part of a club that tried to maintain an offroad driving park, it still exist dunno who runs it today. but its a fucking pain in the ass
>constant legal battles, neighbours and local authorities dont want you around
>everyone wants to use it, none wants to spend a minute of their life putting down some volunteer work to maintain it
>you gotta have some rules, in our case it was no atv/dirtbikes for insurrance reasons. chuds then constantly complain why no atv/dirtbikes? dude make your own atv/dirtbike range then?
>another thing was in order to make this as legal as possible we had to run a sanctioned 4x4 practice meaning everyone had to pay 5€ and go through a basic tech inspection. chuds couldnt stand this. (btw thoose 5€ gave you insurrance coverage up to 200k in case shit happend)
>the moment you leave some asshole will come with an atv and tear up the place and now all the neighbours and haters got exactly what they asked for, a reason to close you down
only reason this place exist is the military rent it once in a while, they need such a place where they can go all our with their hagglunds and leo's.
seing how many retards and chuds there is in the much larger street car community i would never ever try to do such thing there.

Crossing the double yellow line while redlining with your 0W-20 oil is peak driving

We on 0w-8 try to keep up

Damn I gotta got one of those 0W08 Camreees to race around in

Leaving the theatre to a sea of Gino's revving their v-tech Hondas was gloriously embarrassing.

the issue is wanting a policy to fix stupid. you can't fix it, you have to let it fix itself, which was the case for most of human history up till very recently.

so be it
>>
>>28701035
sweden or switzerland already do that exactly by making learners go on a skid pan with an instructor that pulls the handbrake and other shit so they know how to recover from a skid etc.
that would never happen elsewhere though, it'd be seen as encouraging hoon behaviour.

You didn't miss anything. 98% of the "scene" was kids drywall screwing unpainted body kits and a fart can on the hand me down civic mommy gave them for a first car. Throw on the bare minimum minimum 15 pieces of flair from AutoZone to add attitude and that's the scene.

The remaining 2% was rich guys selling the kids body kits and fart cans.
