Street Racing in Calgary
So i am filling up my 7 last nite, and a couple guys in an lancer riced out with some neon lights pull up and start drooling on my car. They then proceed to ask me if i ever go to the street races? The driver then continues to tell me where they are, i am barely listening as i am dumping my pre-mix in to the car, but i catch something about it being way down in the south end. Sarcee or Shaganappi?
He told me there are some pretty nice cars that go at it down there
anyone know about this ****?

well i gotta Skyline in my kill bag already. Not really keen on the idea of getting busted Street Racing, but i would definetly like to check it out. Although anybody down there driving a high powered car, even if not racing would probably be "Guilty by Association"

Yep here we go, just another "spectator". The spectators are more of a problem than the racers.

Its not like the old days when we used to be able to race all night with no problems. No body got hurt and the cops never bugged us.
Along came FnF and the population tripled - and so did the distruction of property, crashes and just general idiocy. I go just to chat with friends, see the cars and hang out. My last race was over 2 years ago.

Its a tough city with the attention that the cars are getting. Its just like the exotic guys getting up way early and booting around the small roads and highways. Now there on youtube and in the news...wait a second...what ever happened with that...huh, no longer an issue? that went away fast!
Anyways, there are a lot of low cost, high HP cars running around and people are itchin to line up. I've "accelerated" from light to light but wont keep running to top end inner city( need closed roads right! -always makes me laugh)
I used to go way back when(decade or so) around deerfoot mall but nothing great there...now you hardly hear about it.
Its good if its a few guys with minimal spectators...saw a similar setup in vancouver and there are some good runs( never seen a AWD car light up on a rolling start before! crazy power...

Thats how it used to be period. The only time police showed up was either someone called it in while driving by, or the cop just happend to be driving by.
They'd ask you to leave and away you went back to the meeting place.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread and I know its middle of winter here, but does anyone know if these races are still going on? Been to the ones at barlow timmies but 90% of the time they suck! Are there any others going on?
