Is street racing dead?

Dont know there in america, here in spain in the last 3 years its been geting worse, no MASIVE toegays racing no longer, you can still find people on saturday nights that with no doubt will try to keep up or advance but cant have a 30man race

Personally, I'm fun of urban time attack. I try to beat my time going to the exact same place. But I've also raced with my friend in the urban environment at 5am.

Granted, we'ra talking about 150cc motorcycles, but I think you just have to find a person willing and a nice route.

Its now all about car meets and stickers. It wouldn't bother me as much but it seems that most are bench teachers and dont participate in actual races. Those who do go to the tracks. So its hard to find a middle ground.

Every Friday and Saturday evening there is tons of tuned cars going around lake morton-berrydale in the Seattle area. All type of cars GT-R, Subaru WRX, Silvia, Mustangs and also european cars like Volkswagen Golf and BMW e30

>those 'street racing' events where people trailer in the fucking cars they are gonna be racing

Dunno about other places, but here in IL, the place to go was lower Wacker. Some dude ran an article on that scene(not in a malicious manner) and accidentally got all that shut down.
However, I can't believe that all those people just up and left, there's probably a new place to go...And everybody just shut the fuck up about it.

I just do highway pulls by myself at night and on the way to work.

Well during my 5 years in Korea, I've noticed that almost EVERY street (even the really remote areas in the rural mountains) has regular speed cameras with license plate scanners so drivers here are paranoid.

I guess they have to go to tracks.

For those intersted youtube.com/watch?v=k6Ih35XaJ7Y

plate flippers save the day again

I live in a redneck shithole where the only pasttimes are fucking and doing drugs. The car culture here is just beat up pickemup trucks doing stop light drags, and the demo derby every spring at the fair. So many good cars get trashed.

yeah keep telling yourself that lol.

Is this some sort of tactical press conference?

>Camera picks up a high speed object but no plate
>returns an error
>guy who monitors that shit sees the picture and runs a quick search for that model and color of car registered in the area
>speeding ticket AND a fine for no plates

I don't see that working too well since like 95% of the cars in SK are Hyundai/Kia/Ssangyongs. There's gonna be a lot of cars registered in a given area that would match the description.

Sheriff was being a blowhard and trying to scare drugdealers.

No, when I say cameras are everywhere, they are everywhere. They can record you driving all the way back to your home/garage.

Some people park in mountains or public places and run away, but cameras trace you running back to your home. It's a small country.

These cameras weren't here few years ago but they really ramped up surveillance.

That sucks. I guess SK really is a police state.

I take my car up into the hills occasionally and fang it around between the trees and hillside mailboxes. Run on both tarmac and gravel.

Wouldn't mind some competition, though.

The Spanish car scene was never good to begin with, just underpowered show cars, and now Europe has killed the little scene we had 5-8 years ago, I would like to say I miss it, but I don't.

>lake morton-berrydale
is it in the general area around the lake or at a certain area? I might have to check it out.

>engine swapped b-body
Classic B-body or 90's woody wagon?

Is Scandinavia really that great?

What state man?

Ha ha drift charm means ready to race according to cops. There are races every night here. So easy to find race show up and brag about winning with social media now.

lower wacker and ozinga used to be great places for street drifting in chicago

west aus.

Oh, rip.

I have an sti and do that to mustangfags all the time.

maybe create a new style of street racing. Think outside the box and make the scene you want,

Have you ever played Midnight club? its the same shit you meet shitty racers and then you get recommended to higher leagues

street racing is slightly dangerous

Let me help- you faggots out. Yes, racing still exists. NO it doesn't exist like FnF and 2003. People my age came up in that shit (I'm in my 30's) and you youg stance faggots and stock miata owning faggots ruined street racing. So this is how it goes down now:
>own a tuner shop or be friends with people at them
>hang out once in a while and race with each other
Because we all have fast cars and don't have to worry about racing a shit box civic with only an exhaust.
>drop cars back off at shop
>go home

Street racing doesn't happen like it did back then. Also, most guys who have fast cars get kind of tired of it.
>work on cars all day
>work on your project after hours
>race a bunch
>get tickets
>do repairs
>buy more shit
>$50k down the drain over the years

Me and all my mechanic buddies that work at performance shops have fast cars we roll out on occasion. But mostly we ride 4wheelers, jet skis, play with model planes. Once you've been doing this a while, it gets old and boring.

that kind of racing is lame shit anyway, i want touge racing back, you fucking cunts

>Not a single nigger
No way that's Scandinavia

youtube.com/user/RidgeChaser

>touge
That's gay shit. Old dirt roads 2 car widths wide and crests is the real shit.

Oldfag here too.
We used to do it, meet up, chase each other down the mountain. Overtake if you can.
Do one run then piss off.

Then drift got popular and drift kiddies rock up, spend all night doing skids, put oil on the road, cause a general ruckus and have attracted shitloads of cop attention.

kek.

honestly those are the fucking best as they haul absolute ass.

Portuguese here
Radar Speed detectors didn't help either.
They have them everywhere.

street racing slowly died in the early/mid 2000s
as people moved to offical drift/track events or just moved on

You sound like a massive faggot. Fuck old people

You guys must have it bad huh?
The old people in town that take out their classic cars are usually down for a race, and you can sometimes catch them doing sick skids leaving sonic for the carshow on wednsdays. there's a big parking lot where people with tuned and stock cars hang out and smoke darts and just fuck around. Someones always willing to race even if they know they're going to lose.

Theres also some mountain roads you can toe gay on that's about an hours drive to get to, but its usually worth the trip.

Lots of fun here in Nebraska boys

I think most people itt are europoors. Plenty of people down to race even here in Virginia

that's the Dark Knight car chase scene location right?

its nowhere near dead

Not here in Brazil.

You can still get into the odd impromptu drag race with just about anyone with anything sporty.
And 1.2ltr corsas too aprantly...

Depends desu. Im in Suburban Atlanta and passed a couple of lifted Jeeps on a surface road in a Nissan and we all hit about 80 before the next light.

>tfw when a stock 2007 versa out paced 2 heavily modified jeeps

>I guess SK really is a police state.
No BLM problems there though.

That's lower Wacker, but I'm talking about a different part of it.

>be me many years ago
>live in italy, on mountain roads
>buy my first sports car for the togue that goes from the city to my house (10 km of pure togue, small village on top and compltiely desert from 10p.m onwards)
>one day while doing the usual route late at night I notice some kids, obviously tokio drifts fanatics, who try to drift in a parking lot near the togue. never seen them , not the usual 5-6 guys who drive on the togue
> every goddamn night they are there, 100m away from the houses, doing skids
>eventually someone calls the police for all the screaming tires chaos late at night
>police installs speed cameras and videocameras everywhere on the road.
>skid autists disappear
>togue ruined
>Going home now is boring
Fuck

Juat came back from Mexico with friends, we were watching a buddy drag his 442 Olds. Shit was right over the border on a back road surrounded by fields. Probably 50-60 different crews running for money.

Youngstown fag here. Yeah I agree with you. I try to do some decent stability builds on FWD shitboxes. Originally from PIttsburgh so curvy roads galore and it was practical, now I just have slow cars on completely straight roads. Boring as fuck.

I don't think anyone in the Ohio area with an STI knows how to drive. Or is too much of a pussy. Had a nice blue STI trying to weave in and out of traffic on I-76 the other day. Blocked him and he got pissed and tried to race. Turd dropped out at 90mph... I was in a fucking chevy malibu

>I've noticed that almost EVERY street (even the really remote areas in the rural mountains) has regular speed cameras with license plate scanners

I wouldn't mind that in the USA. But as soon as my city put up its one single license plate scanner, the black community filed a racism lawsuit against it. They are against ANYTHING that makes the police more effective. They even went to a council meeting to demonstrate against it as racism and wanted the names of the council members who supported it. My city backed down and removed the license plate scanner.

>I wouldn't mind that in the USA.
Fuck you. Fuck you and your pathetic existence

this.
Used to be streetraceless euro scrub.
Now joined night wave and get up to street races every once in a while

I'm guessing what killed the street racing scene was cunts who couldn't keep quiet and attracted attention to themselves.

It would stop cars from running away from the police. Now they only need to check the scanner log for the plates of the car that ran from them.

I think plate scanning is good to weed out the fake tabs. The computer sees the plates of every car passing by the major intersection. If the plate looks like it has a current tab, but the database shows the tab fee was not paid, then an officer can go out to arrest the perpetrator at their home. Making fake licenses is a criminalized offence and a felony in certain cases.

>literally defending orwellian nannystate practices

Get out of my country.

Fucking this

The illegal immigrants would hate car scanning. They typically have no insurance and hit and run.

Automated Plate Scanning is necessary if the state government is going to verify that every car on the road has car insurance. The computer can check if the driver's appearance matches the expected owner of the car. If there is no match, that can be a cross licensing violation. If there is no record of that car being declared as a vehicle under someone's policy, then the computer can generate a report for a human to re-verify that the car is not insured but was photographed being driven.

Insurance companies should like that feature. It would make it risky for someone to buy the insurance at low rates in order to have someone else (typically the teen driver) be the actual primary driver of the car. That's because the driver's picture doesn't match the picture of the owner of record that purchased the insurance.

Let's build a big beautiful plate scanner. We'll install it along all border cities. And Mexico will pay for it.

Sorry bruh, gonna side with the criminals in this one you pinko fucking communist

>is car culture in general on a steady decline?
There's plenty of car culture but it EVOLVES over time. If what you mean by decline is that car culture is not allowed to change, then yes, to you it appears to be declining because you are only looking at old culture and refusing to accept new culture.

Seriously, fuck off to yurop or something. You'll feel right at home.

>Wanting speed cameras on every single corner with numberplate tracker and mandatory blood and breath test to catch anyone DUI
fuck off.
Youll get your self driving cars so you don´t have to waste time doing things you hate.

Yea every night after 12 up on gmr people are racing every night, go up either a full moon or fri or sat if you want somewhat of a car meet.

GET OUTTA MY COUNTRY I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU ALL

Great idea. Maybe we should also install telematics on all cars so we can monitor everyone! That sounds great. I mean, if you have If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear, right?

This is the kind of regressive mentality that is destroying Europe. I hope you're not an American because if you are you should feel ashamed.

lower Wacker/canal street is still a thing, it's just smaller than it used to be.
That one warm weekend in february there were at least 200 cars and bikes out

>Literally spewing buzzwords
There can be no expectation of privacy in a public place. Registration plate scanners are no different in principle from a LEO observing them himself.

>Wanting criminals and others posing a danger to the public to be caught
Do you consider that a bad thing for some reason?

It does sound great. It's clear that many motorists do not take their obligation to the general public to drive safely seriously enough.

it exists if you can find someone stupid as you to race.

>driving home
>speed limit on this road is 50kph
>i passed a guy doing 60kph
>probably doing 70kph
>not actually driving aggressively
>this audi behind me wants to go faster
>be in 5th gear accelerating we're doing 100+ at this point
>fuck it drop into 4th
>last thing i remember is redlining 4th and shifting back into 5th
>look back
>audi slowed down and was about 2 blocks behind

there was also some random kia van today and a VW something that passed me double speed limit and then going exactly speed limit. guess what happened both times.

generally people's sense of self preservation kicks in before mine does. for none straight line stuff i already posted last week about doing the sea to sky tooj. most people are fucking pussies.

it's almost like SK barely has non-Koreans living there at all (not including US Military)

>>>/yurop/

if your are a trump voting hill billy it is

cleveland has the largest metropolitan park systrm with some of the best Appalachian mountain roads

we have a road that follows tge historic erie canal

mlk road on the east side has amaxing switchback curves bridges made from stone and no cops

No one cares what the leased automatic FRS fag thinks

>There can be no expectation of privacy in a public place
This is the dumbest thing I've read all day
Privacy should always be guaranteed unless you're actually doing something harmful

...

>tfw have to drive from Canada into USA just to find a somewhat technical and challenging toe gay

32 year old here. People grow up. I dont have my stealth anymore. I miss it and think about it often. I think about racing my hated EVO rivals. Fuck them so much. reee.

Anyway. Look man, there is new culture out there, they are a bit more sensible, was street racing cool as fuck? Yes, Just like Smoking. Smoking looks super cool, and its pretty great, but honestly, its bad for you.

You find a good track, and head out there. These new dudes, they are pretty ok, and its funny as fuck. A civic I used to race back in the day is still rolling around on the road under a new snot nosed owner. The kid is funny, I told him about his car. Apparently the old owner I knew sold it, it bounced around for a while, and now its touched up and racing again, just on the track now.

Show some love to the new generation of ricers and shit boxers or whatever the fuck they are.

At least they dont drive a minivan now like a certain dead inside user does.

shame no one does it on American roads
Appalachia and California are ripe for street racing

>Do you consider that a bad thing for some reason?
If they have friends that are illegal immigrants, of course they are opposed to what you or that other poster said about having automated scanning. Automation makes it hard to get away with hit and run crimes because the victim and police can just say "Hey, check the recording!".

>it's almost like SK barely has non-Koreans living there at all
Their society has no room for african refugees looking for social welfare hand outs. So that's why immigrants don't want to move to such a meritocracy-oriented society. It's a tough country to live in if that person doesn't have merit or a family to get help from.

>Privacy should always be guaranteed unless you're actually doing something harmful
They are not in private.
They are here illegally.
They typically drive without insurance.
They typically hit and run.
They typically refuse to witness and lie.
The crime rate statistics are also against them.

So there apparently is a great deal of harm. It justifies automated scanning to remove one of the several loopholes these criminals exploit to cause their negative effects on society.

There are a few different meets that all got ruined for different reasons in my area

>the drag racers/highway pulls group
>was a lot of fun for a good while, the cars that raced were pretty well done and very fast
>shitboxes start showing up more, complaining that they they dont get to race their stock civics against 900hp restored muscle cars
>so instead of fucking off or even being reasonable, before you know it every single meet becomes "shitty ricer kids literally sit around, smoke weed, and drink liquor" because this apparently means car meet to them
>local cops used to be cool with the more chill guys, but now cant afford to be since theres underaged drinking and driving

>"muh trailered cars" meet
>theres an empty lot just off a highway north of me
>was its own thing for a while, but then people from the first group migrated in
>becomes a regular 200+ person meet
>ruined when the cops had to start patrolling because trailershits had to block off the whole side of the highway for a half hour for something stupid. The traffic jam went for miles.

>"toe gay"
>people used to go out in small groups to run windy roads through the forest near me
>too narrow to pass, so they usually take turns trying to outrun one another
>rich college kids with so-low-they-scrape stanced v6 mustangs and BRZs catch wind of this
>a fuck ton of people crash their cars (guess who) on this route
>traffic blocked every time
>cops now patrol the area

I havent been to a car meet in months because of all of this. I hate ricers so fucking much.

The moral of this kind of story seems to be "Make some friends and drive with them" since anything remotely organized becomes infested with retards.
