WHAT THE HELL HAPPEND TO ALL THE STREET RACERS???????????

I know i'm not the only one who likes to watch/race. I remember approx a year ago thier was hundreds of people, cars, crews in Milpitas/San Jose area. I went to the movies in Santa Clara on Fri. After I decided to check if there were any races, that place was a fricken ghost town!!!!!! WTF. I my area, everyone would go to a parking lot in Burlingame before races. I RARELY see anyone out there on the weekends any more, WHAT HAPPEND. [Frown]

Well, I would guess people have gotten smart? Ends do not justify the means any more. Police have made a point to make it not worth getting caught.

Enough people got their cars impounded and/or got racing tickets, so everyone else is scared now. Ever since I got my "Speed Contest", I rarely street race.

We were in 510 last night, over 60+ cars were there, i got it all on tape, they even had folks from WAT HE DO.com passing out free DVDs - There was one black GT with a cobra wing out there too, thing sounded beefy but got smoked by an import [Razz] His launch sucked...

The runs went on for over 2 hours - Matt PM me if you want to know where exactly we were

yeah no more 510 for me. i went to race a white turbo hatch and after we launched and got into it, some damn fool decided it would be cool to run out in the middle of the street in between us and start dancing. 1.) it scared the shit out of me, 2.)I almost lost control trying to avoid him, 3.) if i would have hit and killed him my ass would be in jail for manslaughter. Too many damn fools out there now. I mean, how smart is it to try and run between two cars racing at over 70mph?!!?!?! i bounced right after.

Yeah when we were there i seen many standing in the middle of the lanes dancing doing some stupid sh1t, i havent been to any sideshows or streetracing for over an year till last saturday, so we parked close to the exit so if anything does happen we're first to go lol

When we first got there, one cop came just rolling through and he got on the mic and said "Hey hey hey, where are you guys going?! You guys are just chillin' right? Why are you guys running, am i that ugly?" , first i started LMAO then 2nd i jumped in back seat then we took off didnt look back...

But it was nice, no cops came for over 2 hours then everyone started getting leaving one by one so we all took off around 4am

u didn't miss much out there, believe me. it's turning more and more into a side show and less and less from street racing.

Not worth the time or money, way too many cops and dumbasses

I'd rather go to the track or do the occasional freeway run, no where else is safe
