California Speedway @ Fontana has street LEGAL dragracing on their facility. Organized, safe with concrete walls lining the track so you won't run overl onlookers, and asaftey vehicle.
I'd suggest looking into it. http://californiaspeedway.com/ A new phase in the NHRA Street Legal Racing program at California Speedway’s quarter-mile Street Legal Drag Strip, California Dragway, will be ushered in on Saturday, May 10th, with the first-ever nighttime event. With recent approval from the San Bernardino County Planning Commission, the Speedway will illuminate the strip with temporary lighting to cover the quarter-mile. In addition, lights will be brought in to brighten the paddock (Lot 2) and spectator parking areas (Lot 3). The Speedway is also scheduled to add new scoreboards for each lane. The installation of the scoreboards will begin upon receipt of the shipment and may not be in place for the initial running on May 10th. The Summer Saturday Night Schedule also includes May 31 and June 14. The summer schedule hits high gear in July with three consecutive Saturday nights of racing – July 12, 19 and 26. The summer round concludes with “Hot August Nights” each Saturday night in August – 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30. Technical inspection begins at 3:00 p.m., with racing set to begin at 5:00 p.m. Admission to enter the speedway is $10 per person and the cost to purchase a Tech Card to race is an additional $10. All racing will conclude by 11:00 p.m. “This is a new and important phase for the growth and development of the Street Legal Racing program at California Dragway,” said Speedway President Bill Miller. “Racing at night will provide some relief to the high temperatures we encountered last year during the day. In addition, we continue to get feedback from law enforcement that a night program will help lessen the illegal street racing activity in the area. We appreciate the efforts of San Bernardino County officials in working with us on this project.” |
thanks

street legal drag racing is not the same as street "racing". street legal drags allow people to bring their street legal cars and race them on a closed drag strip not on public streets like the street "racers". street "racing" is the dumbest thing anyone can do with a car. Last night I saw a kid killed himself hitting a power pole while "racing" his SUV. several thousand people were without power for several hours(hope there were no hospitals or medical equipment affected). unfortunately these "racers" tend to kill innocent bystanders more often then themselves. try to take advantage of events like the ones mentioned above or similair low cost performance events available around the country to test yourself and your car without endangering others. sorry for the rant, but this a sore subject with me.

What I really meant to say is that these dumb kids who think they can race anywhere anytime just makes it harder for people like us who have mods to even make it to the race track without getting a ticket, impounded or whatevers.

Agreed Trip..

Originally posted by tims this is why I drive my tow vehicle to work every day and trailer my race car to the track. then race the car on the track and trailer it home. I don't seem to have any problems with law enforcement impounding my race car under these circumstances. |
I like to drive fast. I rarely race another car. When I do it's on the highway when there are very few cars around.
It's sad to hear stories of young, inexperienced people doing stupid things because they want to emulate some movie stunt. But you must also understand that these young people are the new generation of hot-rodders, and due to the high increase in population density accidents will claim innocent victims. They should take their racing to the track, industrial parks or country roads where they will not hurt anybody but themselves. |

Originally posted by specRX7_22 I agree. street "racing" is NOT racing in any way. How hard is it to just get an autoX license, or a road racing license, or go to a local drag night or something if they want to go fast. All that Light-to-Light shit is the stupidest thing ive ever seen. |
yeah, I agree. There are those who love speed and skill and there are those who seek attention.

There's a difference between street racing and speeding. I never street race, but I'll admit I speed quite a bit. That's what pisses me off about these punk kids... Because of them, if I get nailed going 45 in a 35 zone, I'm a "street racer" because I have an RX-7 and a RSX. If I were driving a MINIVAN doing the EXACT same thing, I'd probably only get a warning.
GIVE ME A BREAK! Brian |
i like to street race, but to an extent. like most of the time to 50, or 40mph. and only when there is no on coming traffic, and the roads are clear. but it is really stupid. it just gets your adreniline pumping and is a good felling. not to harm other people though.

^^^^^^thats in a 45 mph zone, three lanes on both sides with no traffic.

Originally posted by DrPJM1 They should take their racing to the track, industrial parks or country roads where they will not hurt anybody but themselves. Don't be an idiot. Most country roads I know don't provide any kind of decent visibility around the bends.. Please don't get some delusion that driving irresponsibly on country roads is somehow safe.. There are still people who use them for legal purposes and your jackassery may kill them. Sorry if I'm upsetting some member with a good reputation, but this is crap. If it's not a controlled environment, it's selfish, stupid, and illegal. |

Listen people: I am the 1st one to agree that street racing is dangerous & should not be condoned but you have to agree that we all like to drive fast smart.
I ride my bicycle on country roads (an old Bridgestone X03 & a carbon fiber Trek road bike) & would hate to be killed by an idiot driver. I would not speed on a road where I can't see what's next (ex: tall corn). I have raced people on the highway but only if there are no cars in front to get on our way (it gets deserted on the hwy around here, hence the population density comment). Finally, I enjoy the track immensely but will continue to drive fast where I can without endangering my fellow human beings. I hope you can accept my point of view and the fact that I have not used expletives nor colorful adjectives. Now let me tell you about my frequent 150mph+ forays in a deserted local hwy...the last one being with a police officer in my passenger seat @ 165mph! |
mabye we should find out where all these street "races" are and throw nails and glass on the road.
