Street Race stories

One time I was riding shotgun in my friend\'s Honda Civic.  He had just added something to his car and was trying to impress me with his speed.

We came to a stop light and next to us was a mini-van with some middle aged man in a shirt and tie with his kid in a car seat.  My friend revs his engine just as a joke.  The light turned green and my friend hit the gas and sped off.  We looked back and saw the van closing in on us. The guy in the van just had a straight face and didn\'t look like he was even trying to race.  My friend hit the gas and tried to out run the van, but the van blew by him.

My friend finally caught up with the van and as he passed by, the middle-aged driver in the shirt and tie and kid in the car seat looked over at us, smiled, and then did the "chug chug" train motion with his arm.  He was laughing as he drove off again.


I will never let my friend forget that day.

Thats great.

Sometimes i have an urge to race but I never do. Plus my car isnt that fast (though for a 4 its pretty quick). Its a 93 Sunbird (pontiac\'s equivalent of the cavelier). When i floor it, it sounds sexy but it cant back up its bark. When im on lake shore drive going home sometimes ill floor it and end up going about 85 but i try not to push it too hard.

Since its snowing off and on here, i just take it to big open parking lots (like today @ school around 8) and just do handbraking drifts and 180\'s. Good shit.

It\'s funny how we all have seen those POS, rice burners that have a damn flea for an engine.

Here in Dallas they\'re plentiful. I\'ve street raced before but I\'ve never started one.


I have a couple of stories:

Just last week I was driving home and this truck was driving so close to me it pissed me off. I saw nothing but light because my car is so damn low the headlights hit my rear view mirror directly. I sped up a bit and he was still on my ass. So, I speed up, gave him some space to react and I slammed the breaks. I could of died, but I knew I had given him enough space to switch into the right lane. I heard his tires screeching and he switched lanes but we were near a traffic light and he ran a red light. I hope he got in a car accident and died or something.


Then we have the classic, rice burning, honda civic with all kinds of different colors and sounds like a bee. Like your stories, I was on a red light and this POS started to rev(It might of been a fly, I don\'t know) I don\'t race. I hate it. Specially to some stupid ass people like those. I just don\'t like to even think about wrecking my baby...anyways that day I did! So we take off and his car was so damn loud I looked to the left and right and didn\'t see him. But the way it sounded made it seem as if he was right beside me. I look back and all I see is two bright spots in the back. I didn\'t even think I was going to win.


Anyways I have plenty more but they all mostly happened and ended the same way. I feel sad for those rice lovers.

American POWER!

This one time I was in my truck and this guy wanted to race, but I was with my girl and ignored him.  He kept reving his engine and I was just looking ahead, but then he called me a chicken and I was like "I gotta do this".  So I reved back, the light turned green and the tires spun, he took off like a bat out of hell, little did he know I put my car in reverse.  I went backwards and did a 180, just as I looked back he narrowly missed a Rolls Royse, which if I had been racing would have crashed right into it.  All in all I guess it wasn\'t luck, since earlier that day I had traveled to the future and learned that I would ruin my life by running into that very same car.

True story

Holy shit!

I know that feeling.

I was visiting the SMU campus here in Dallas and it just happens to be located in Highland Park. Where the most extravagant and rich houses are located. Where Ferraris and Porsches are as abundant as Hondas or Fords. But anyways rich people really have no care in the world. I was going to turn right into a parking lot and out of nowhere comes this light-blue 9/11 and I miss him by an inch. The driver didn\'t bother to stop when he saw me turn in he, I bet he didn\'t even notice.

I would of have to paid with my life.

I don\'t race on main roads or metro streets.  I\'m not a dickhead. I\'d prefer to save it for the tracks.

Some kid in a Civic tried to race me but I wasn\'t biting. He kept passing me, slowing down, passing me, slowing down....until I decided I would keep my current pace of 60mph when we reached a rather twisty part of the road.

He slowed down a lot to keep from understeering into the very sharp opposite lane while I kept my pace locked at 60mph. The suggested yellow speed signs were 30mph...but with my car, that would be waaay too slow. However, he\'d tail gate me whenever it got straight but had not enough room to pass before we got to the next bend on the road.

Eventually, the road remained twisty for several miles and I slowly left him behind. After a few miles, I pulled over to eat at a road side diner. When I finished eating and walked out to my car, I saw the same Civic being slowly towed away from its ass, with the front wheels on the road. I could see there were a few branches on the grill.

I think he understeered into a bush or tree.

nice one
