****'s real serious on the internet, huh? One guy's a puss, who cares. :yawn:

I saw a quick video in the Multimedia section of 'Tech yesterday while I had 20 minutes to kill, so I saw the "Call Out" this is referring to.
But if there's really that much chatter about this, then people need to re-evaluate their investments to internet forums, social media and impressing strangers.


That Hitler video was a fun spoof though.

I just wish I had the budgets some of these internet famous people like that coolmanvette guy have.

Pride racers

Its spelled n-u-g-g-e-t-s

[coolmanvette75]

Internet blew this race way out of proportion. All these people making assumptions that weren't there need to go away. Both cars are insanely fast. I agree fr8train should have agreed to both races right off the bat, but even still after he did agree Flash never showed up. I drove around shotty with Curtis in the fr8train all night Friday looking for Flash while he kept dodging us. I will say this though. Fr8train on 24lbs of boost was scary fast.

i don't see the need for an explination because none of us really care. Hell i quoted it and didn't even fully read it. personally, i feel the Texas 2k stuff is getting old. People that build cars just to race others and be the fastest are in the car hobby for the wrong reasons. Yes, an individual can build a car to be fast and wow others but when that person brags that its the best fastest or whatever, it becomes pathetic. I also give a lot more credit to those who build projects themselves and not pay shops to do the work. My cars will never be "fast" enough for tk2... but they are my pride and joy that i as a true car enthusiast can be proud of and stand behind. that's all i will say now and ever again on the matter.

That's because you're not cool enough to push your car cross country, you freaking scrub.

No. There are organized and sanctioned events at tracks and such as well. Although, it's impossible to deny that S.R. doesn't happen. OCMD on roids.

[WSex]

Hmmmmm

Hmmmmhmmmmmmm.....

[LTb1ow]

TX2K14 already issued a news statement that they do not support street racing and want to help local PD prevent it.

Pure rubbish IMO, but they are one of few events to be able to offer a closed course for a legit (lulz "legit") roll race.

[Mike]

But every video on techs thread is of highways with other cars

[LTb1ow]

Thats like saying because etown has supernats or whatever, any related video done that weekend elsewhere but near by is supernats fault....

[BonzoHansen]

roll racing lolololoool

If it was the official super nats thread and john force was racing his daughters on 195 you would have a point

[Dudbird113]

Not roll racing... Pride racing.

Terminology is mixed up my man

[coolmanvette75]

TX2K on the internet and TX2K in real life are two totally different things. I personally think it is one of the best events of the year that I attend. And no, not specifically for the things that happen on the highway after the sun goes down. It is the only racing event I have ever been to that attracts so many people from across the country to one single place for the same purpose. People from as far north as Alberta Canada and as far south as Colombia were represented in the event this year. It really is awesome seeing and meeting people from around the country (and world) and seeing just what everyone else is up to. The fact that it draws some of the fastest street legal cars out there is just an added bonus. It is a shame the actual legal track event got rained out this year, but we still managed to have a good time hanging out and bs'ing the rest of the week. It really is one of those events that you have to experience in person before you can truly judge it. Over the past 2 years that I have gone I have made a lot of new friends and connections in the industry, as well as just had an overall awesome vacation from real life for a few days

[coolmanvette75]

And about the roll racing, I think the event of the weekend was actually the Dig Night on Friday. No prep, 1/8th mile, heads up, run what ya brung Street Outlaw's style. $200 buy in, 55 cars entered, $11,000 winner take all. It was a legit setup on a rented air strip with police security. All the fun of a big money street race without worrying about it being on the street...

Sounds like discovery channel

[The_Bishop]

The car hobby got a lot more fun and affordable for me once I realized that I don't give two $#!&$ is someone else's car is faster than mine. As a result, I spend more time driving/enjoying my car and less time with it in 100 pieces because someone went faster. If/when I upgrade it's because that's the new tinkering I want to do that week. Only timeslip I'm ever trying to beat is my own.

Good friend of mine hasn't figured this out yet, his car's been apart for four years now because his buddy made some more dyno HP than his setup would have, so the project went off the rails in the hunt for dyno-penis.

[BonzoHansen]

and none of the safety of a real track. that is one accident away from being a giant disaster. especially for the person who paid for the rental, yikes the liability. that video shows a giant pile of stupid.


roll racing is still lame. even using the term.

[Mike]

The bickering this thread is related to was over a street race... Regardless of the official events

lol I feel old for saying this but Scotts right...that vid posted of the airstrip rental looked like one wrong move and about 50-100 people are getting mowed over on the side there.

I am sure the event coordinators had a ton of liability insurance and all entrants signed any rights away when they entered.

You don't complain when guys stand next to cars launching at Atco etc...there is always a risk.

So far, these guys have a monopoly on a very lucrative market so why all the hate, they prob make money hand over hand on this event.

In red is the only thing I disagree with. While event coordinators like to think they are protected from litigation a good lawyer will blast through it if there's even an ounce of negligence or fault present.

Well yea, but racing is racing regardless of whether you think roll racing is lame or not. Same liability applies to guys at Wall speed way or atco running a drift event no?

[WildBillyT]

Well yea, but racing is racing regardless of whether you think roll racing is lame or not. Same liability applies to guys at Wall speed way or atco running a drift event no?

Right, and just look at what went on with that Atco lawsuit a few years ago.

I asked a few lawyers about it a little while ago and they all said the same thing- in the case of an incident there would still be an investigation to try and place blame on the "sanctioning body". They'd look for any miscue that implies that the SB didn't keep up their end of the bargain in any way.

Example- if there's an oil down and the track is not properly cleaned and you end up rolling your car. They don't get to just wave the paper and tell you good day sir.

[LTb1ow]

Yup, but considering this event is participated by guys with cars valuing in the half mil easy range, I am sure they have some fantastic lawyers :lol:

Good lawyers on both sides. LOL. :mrgreen:

[coolmanvette75]

EMS and the fire dept were on hand just in case anything happened. I do agree though that people were standing waaaay to close to the road. And it only got worse as the race went on. I stood at the starting line because I wanted no part of cars flying into me. If they could get a barrier up for people to stand behind I think it would have been much better. Still a fun time though

haha this is my point. sure there are people at atco standing off to the side, but most of them are behind barriers. those working and not protected by the barriers are minimal at most. the difference between here and atco is if the side guys get mowed over at atco its only at the most like 5 or 6 dudes...here it could easily be 100 people getting mowed over. that would be enough of a tragedy to never see Texas 2k again.

im not hating on the event, nor the dudes racing...i have no idea who they are. Im just saying, that 6 minute drag racing vid looked like it was mere inches to feet away from never happening ever again and maybe someone ending up in jail for a bit.

especially with ''no prep'' :D

[BonzoHansen]

imagine something going really wrong at the starting line...

Sounds valid. I'm sure the state would immediately release all parties, with the court's apologies, upon hearing that compelling argument.

[sweetbmxrider]

This was the most stupid 6 minutes of racing I have ever seen and I've watched drifting!:facepalm:

I like how everything has to do with the courts n the laws. Im not saying its safe, but it happens. I guess yall dont play with fireworks cause its illegal in nj and it could blow your hand off...

everyone does stupid things but the sheer amount of how many people were crowding that area where theres no barricades, no prep for the tires and what seems to be very high powered cars with amateur drivers (not professional) just seems like a recipe for disaster.

by comparison if regular street racing was akin to setting off fireworks, then what was witnessed in that 6 minute video I would liken it to chasing each other with Roman Candles and Bottle Rockets :D

[sweetbmxrider]

No, that was crowding a table of mortars.

[Dudbird113]

I know a handful of easy 9 sec cars that get down very well on the street with basically no prep.

[NJSPEEDER]

If the event was something invitation only I think people would be more accepting. As things stand it is open to anyone that rocked up in whatever they happen to have. Since you know those 9 second cars and the drivers I'm sure you would be comfortable next to them but would you feel the same about some guy you've never met who may or may not know how to drive in a car that looks nice but may or may not have a chassis that is ready for the speeds the engine can propel it to? That is the dividing line and in a society that people are quick to sue for anything and everything it becomes a very broad dividing line between those willing to risk hosting such and event and those who won't.

You now have one foot over the line. Back off the street racing talk

[LTb1ow]

Technically, what he talks about could be a legal racing event. A lot of places do offer no prep, basically street surface heads up racing, which I think is really cool. Back to a NHRA roots racing style.

Now was that what he was talking about? Most likely not, but gotta pretend. :lol:

[sweetbmxrider]

He said on the street, not on the track.

[Mike]

Matt I get it, but I also will play the odds on this and throw the warning, hence the one foot comment and not an infraction already

You're not married, are you? You don't own a house, do you? You don't have kids, do you? Because if you did, you might realize how stupid it is to risk your life standing that close/along these races. Race cars crash...that is a fact. It doesn't happen all the time but it does happen. Do you know when it's going to happen? We've all done stupid things in our lives. God knows I have and I'm lucky to still be here. I have friends that haven't been so lucky and that is a sobering reality. Do I play everything safe? No, but I also try to manage the risk to the highest level possible. When I see something that screams STUPIDITY like this it leaves me shaking my head.

We are in the mode of dying from the moment we are born.

But being reckless is a surefire way to get into that dirt covered box a lot quicker than you should.

I have a cousin (now an attorney) who ended up blowing 1/2 his left hand off with a homemade pipe bomb when he was 15. Hit real close to home on how fragile life is - he has a permanent reminder of how it bit him on the hand, literally.

[The_Bishop]

I've been in enough situations in the course of my life where seeing the next sunrise was questionable, so I try to avoid it when I can. Standing that close to a few tons of high powered vehicle piloted by questionable talent seems like a terrific way to get your ticket punched early.

In my experience, the asshats who 'organize' these things don't give two figs about safety or liability, and in general make the hotrodding/drag racing/hobbiest rest of us look bad. Stupid crap like this is why we are always losing venues for car shows and hangouts.

[LTb1ow]

Again, just playing devil's advocate here... but..

Ever watched the YB nats? Yea everyone is crowded around cars when they stage.

Been to a track rental? Yea everyone hangs around tree to watch/film/photo launch.

Nascar? Yea that fence doesn't do much if a car explodes and shrapnel gets through.

Hell even hockey can be dangerous to spectators....

Just sayin'

I suppose either one could be hit with shrapnel and with your car throwing bolt heads it's a real possibility but neither are in jeopardy of being hit with the car unless you are launching in reverse!:bertstare:

Standing at the starting line is one thing... standing on the side of the road anywhere after that is just nuts. High HP car + unprepped road=recipe for disaster, especially with no barrier. No way.

[NastyEllEssWon]

yeah but the difference between doing stupid **** and watching people do stupid **** is that I was in control of the stupid **** happening. If I hurt myself then it was my own fault. I dont wanna put myself in a situation to injure other people or at the very least be injured by watching someone else do stupid **** :D


edit: is it injur or injure...both look wrong :D

[LTb1ow]

injure.

Gotta move out of the south nasty :lol:
