import scene in charlotte


need i say more...ITS CRAZY HERE IN CHARLOTTE!


if you want to see more stories go to wsoctv.com and click on the news channels (ch 9 14 and 3)

innocent people got caught up in it too...thank god my alternator belt popped that nite. CMPD have been video taping for the past 3-4 months on last saturday they were taking peoples cars that had no VIN number on their trannys or engines that matched the car (duh most people swapped) some people who did their swap LEGIT had cars taken, and were only sitting in the parking lot NOT intending to race SO DONT FLAME. I tried to warn people to quit being asses, but everybody knows the person is smart but people are dumb...group think at its finest ladies and gentlemen...and CMPD seems pretty proud.

ALOT of the stuff reported was exaggerated and misinterpreted.

that is crazy , i think that is the biggest reason why i turboed the 7a and did not do the swap ,all i have to do is pass a emissions test, and try to stay carb legal.

nah theyre going to sell the cars. probably to someone thats going to do the same thing lol. i hear its crazy in toronto and ontario...but dont they have alternatives for you guys? like tracks? the closest 8th mile track here is almost an hour away WAAAAY in the country! the closest 1/4th mile is in at the rockingham 1.5 hours away...WAAAAY in the country.

im trying to organize a way to get nascars attention, maybe we can use some part of lowe's motor speedway (10min away)

oh well.

rice will attract cops, let alone meeting at a shopping mall on a saturday night with probably over 100 people, at least.

the droning of fartcan exhausts on dozens of civics can be heard from miles around, and people wonder why the cops came & busted all of them. had they kept the meets small (like people do around here) this wouldn't have been an issue.

chicago has over 3 million people living in just the city alone, it's the 3rd most populated city in the US. include the 9 1/2 million people who are surrounding the city, and suddenly you've got more than the entire population of both south & north carolina combined.

trust me, i've seen huge meets. they're just asking for trouble. people here use various regional midwestern boards to set up small (10-20 people) races, and nobody ever gets busted. it's when you start meeting at public malls with 4-5 parking lots full of rice, that the cops start showing interest.

last year they had an NBC dateline crew following a bunch of people around, filming them racing then calling the cops. so, people started breaking off in to smaller groups, NBC lost interest, and nobody got busted.

dont worry jaws, they only go after the people who were racing. i wasnt racing at all and my car wasnt even here for a month and as far as the meet they wont bother us we havent done anything wrong. CMPD was trying to look good on tv and prove a point with no healthy alternatives.

thats what i was talking about! people got on the news and didnt know what they were talking about and made it worse! and u know the news staff dont know or care whats really going on so they interview anybody!

and the roads are secluded where they decide to race, its just that there are ALOT of people that go to watch (i only hear about people racing on the highway i dont do it or ride anywhere near people that do theyre asking 4 it)

i understand, but everyone gathered up at the mall is just too risky. Gather up somewhere else!

the most they can get these guy on is for illegal mets or loitering, since they weren't caught doing anything illegal. maybe give them a few fix it ticket or something

street racing= bad decission... But if the local government finds it a major problem then they should do something more productive about. they should build more tracks. And i dont mean tracks that support 6 sec funny cars, just enough for daily driven cars to get their fix. the city could make more money out of it and help prevent tragic accidents on crappy roads. Its kinda hard to crash when racing in a straight line with no median on some smoth tarmac.



Just like we have tax funded programs that shelter homeless, drug addicted teens and such, they should build a place for people that want to race. And it cant cost gobs of money to run a track. apparently they think its a problem so they should do something about it.



we have about 3 tracks in so cal available to the public that are affordable, thats pretty week seeing as how the import scene here is HUGE!



Man this irritates me so much..... sorry guys just ranting.

i couldn't imagine having some highly modified turbo'd import, and never taking it to a track day or doing anything but riding on the streets.

therein lies the problem, people love adding **** to their car, but have absolutely nowhere to take it. i don't really see tons of circuit tracks here in the states, mostly they're just 1/4 strips, and those get boring pretty quick.

i've seriously considered opening up a circuit track here in Illinois for sport bikes & cars, but unfortunately, we're talking about a metric ton of money to get something like that started, and there isn't any guarantee on the investment.

people want to ride on tracks, but then they realize how expensive it is, and just keep it on the streets instead. if you race in public, you risk losing your license & all kinds of other stuff. impounded cars, legal fees, jail time.. it sucks.

there just needs to be more affordable circuit/tracks around, then people would have an outlet for driving like an asshole.

I hear ya.. why pay when you can do it free with a bunch of friends in a back alley? or major interstate?

But I think a lot of it has to do with the danger of getting caught.. makes it more fun to know you could get caught at any moment..
