i was stoped at a stop light in a school zone today when someone yells from behind me that i would beat the 98 mustang gt beside me. other than an awesome sounding exhaust im pretty sure it was stock. reguardless this is a time not to race. 1) the mustang gt would smoke my truck wether the mustang was stock or modified , though i will race anyone and anything normally. my trucks stock and unless i do something to it im not gonna win period. 2) we were in a schoolzone and about 100ft from where i know a city cop likes to hide to get speeders.

then everyone starts reving their engines, bunch of trucks with modified exhaust and of course the mustang. my thought then was im surrounded by idiots. though my truck sounds nice i didn't rev, its really not good to do that sort of thing. the mustang reved to high heaven though, surprised the engine didn't blow or something. the way its driven i bet it won't last long. just wondering if anyone else has encountered such stupidity.

 

Yeah, but not like that. I get it when you've got your buddies loaded up with you and they are like pass this guy or race this car at the light, blah blah blah, it's just constant do this do that. It's always when you are 'babying' your truck too, so they get on youi for being wussy or weak. -William

 

Never want to race again? Then trade the truck for a Town Car. It SUUUUUURE worked for me.............

 

Id rather be the wuss with the good running rig than the "cool guy" with a dead rig.

 

about a month ago i had a ricer chalange my bronc to a race at a stop light he reved his engine up and i reved up mine but what he didnt know was that there was a cop watching the whole thing and the reving of my engine got his attention the light turned green he took off and i sat there. the cop was on him right away he was busted and i was laughing STUPID RICER

 

Ricers are constantly revving at me, especially this one guy in an SRT-4. I know, it's American, but this guy has really riced it out, with the HUGE wing and fart pipe. I don't street race, though. I keep telling him that I will race him down a mountain trail and back, but he ain't having that.

 

I won't do it if there is hardly any traffic or people around, it isn't worth it, open road and noone around to get hurt, the only way.

 

On city streets.......never.

Take it to the track

 

how about when your driving to work, and there are 14 cop cars around you from various departments. happened to me once. i stayed about 5 mph below the speed limit.

 

i agree with Fellro86 We have a 2.2mile straight away on a high way that is for the most part usually devoid of traffic. We use it for bracket and drag racing. We'd use a track but the nearest one is 1.5 hours away.

 

Agreed! Keep that off the streets! No need to become a statistic..

Yesterday, I was coming back from lunch and some bozo in a mid 90s Caprice wizzed by weaving in and out of traffic and almost caused an accident on a cloverleaf. Anyway, I have a mid 90s SS and thought I might show the bozo what the performance model of his taxicab special could do. But, since I had my snow tires still on, in 60+ degree weather and since it was a nice day I figured I would let it go. Besides I am not usually a Ricky Racer type.

Well about half a mile after the cloverleaf, this guy was still racing along going probably 70 in a 55 zone and passed under a bridge. As I came to my exit which happens to have an overpass, I noticed a policeman standing in the bushes in a suspicious manner. I also then noticed 2 police motorcycles on the onramp to the freeway across from my off ramp. I also noticed another motorcycle pull up with the other two. Apparently the suspicious officer had a laser radar and I believe bozo got tagged. Didn't get to see the festivities but since he was obviously the fastest person on the freeway and it was obvious the policemen were out collecting for the policemans ball, I can give a pretty good guess as to what bozo's day was going to be like.

BTW, my radar/laser detector did not go off but I attribute it to 1) I was going less than 55 since I knew I was exiting and was behind slow drivers so I wouldn't have been targetted. 2) The locals use laser and laser is usually pretty narrow beam and since I was in the right lane and bozo was in the left and at least a quarter mile ahead, I assume the beam never "splashed" me.

So lucky day that I didn't decide to strut my stuff. Laser is a beach to avoid tickets and I would almost surely have joined the party if I followed my juvenile instincts.

when i was in highschool ricers were just coming of age well young dumb and owned a truck that was massivelly over powered and respected ricers were blown away by me daily and one got run over but that was an accident...i swear, those do not exit signs are there for a reason (cus a ground hawg might land on your hood : )

 

I think its the funniest when you rev with them to get them goin, and then just crawl away. Its even funnier when they get tagged for racin.
