And this is why im trying to get out of the street racing scene; especially out there, where i went almost every weekend and raced.

haha

98tadriver · 10-01-2007, 07:48 PM

i knew that was going to happen one day

NJSPEEDER · 10-01-2007, 08:07 PM

i don't know which is actually worse, that 30 cops managed to "sneak" up on 60+ people or how poorly that article is written.

ins0mnia24 · 10-01-2007, 08:48 PM

Yeah I read an article about that in the Atlantic city press today

GrandmasterCow · 10-01-2007, 11:23 PM

hah ddaammnn

The only thing organized that I participate in happens back home once a year and it's always on a different day. Other than that I keep my racing on the track.......unless I have permission

The occasional punch on the hwy w/ a buddy on the way to the track is cool...but street racing is just dumb.

Few years back there was a bust up north and those watching were fined with something to the effect ( sorry, don't remember the actual wording ) conspiring to break the law. What ever it actually was resulted in felony offences and they all needed lawyers to get the charges reduced. They ended up with paying the lawyer in the $500 range and a $300 fine.

Now I'm against street racing, mostly because of the fast~n~furious racing thru traffic and in populated areas, but a felony offence for watching is a bit ridiculous!

That might have been the Avenue P bust up in Newark. Mostly ricers if I remember correctly.

watching??? r u serious? that is bs. Since when is it illegal to "assemble" to watch something. Don't give me that other bs about watching something illegal is therefore encouraging it. You could say the samething about watching pro sports when you kno ppl (either yourself or ppl around you) ILLEGALLY bet on it. if you watch pro sports you "encourage" it. It is the same thing as what happens at Fuds; does that mean the ppl who watch those idiots do burnouts should be ticketed and arrested too? Burnouts in any place other then private properity (you own) or at a track is "illegal".

You shouldn't race on the street. Other then me hitting a light now and then that is about as far as i go. But to bust the ppl who watch is bs and f'in stupid (but not as stupid as the ppl who are aware of this and drive their car to the race to watch it rather then parking a couple blocks away and walking so you can run if you have to)

I think technically if there are more than 12 ppl, you need a permit to assemble in public. They used to pull that in NY a lot when I was growing up.

U think that's bull ish? Technically if ur a passenger in a car and the driver decides to get in a street race you could be ticketed.

I think they do it because a lot of people street race for the "glory" of it or to be known for it. If you can cut out the spectators then you could reduce the amount of racing that goes on. Logic is ok, but the punishment is not, I mean its not like you were watching a murder or anything.

98tadriver · 10-02-2007, 04:30 PM

Granted, street racing isnt legal, and it has its dangers and what not. But who HASNT street raced in their time? All i can say is that This place was in a really good spot. There were no intersections, no other roads that went to it. no traffic except the people who were racing down it. Ive been out there quite a bit in the past, and ive always had a bad feeling out there. I'd get a few runs in, and get out. The problem with that road was this- one way in one way out. (unless you were brave enough to take it thru the trails out there..) Its funny how soooo many people egged me on to go out there, and i said "what about cops?" theyd say "nah man cops never come out here" lol. at least one of my friends was out there watching, not racing and he got popped..

jims69camaro · 10-02-2007, 04:48 PM

i don't know whether to laugh or cry...

Dark_Knight7096 · 10-02-2007, 05:04 PM

I just don't understand it, all people want to do is whine and moan about how they don't want a track in their area, but at the same time they don't want people street racing, and they don't see the error in their logic. You either have the noise and you have it safely from noon till 9 or 10 pm, OR, you still have the noise, very dangerously and much later at night. These people are idiots, they are causing their own problems.

Demonicbird00 · 10-02-2007, 05:06 PM

i just googled, and found the road. holy crap, thats in the middle of nowhere. if it wasnt for the undercovers, no one else woulda known about it. w/ all the woods, i could even run my car there and not be herd lol

Easy. They don't want you to race (or modify, for that matter) your car at all.

Tru2Chevy · 10-02-2007, 07:19 PM

I think that people in NJ shouldn't complain much.....almost everyone in the state has a track within an hour of their home (hour and a half tops), and the only day of the week that none of the three tracks are open is Monday.

We have it way better off than many other states.

With the small town I live in, nobody's retarded enough to go too fast or do anything because we're 20 min. from Island, and since no crime happens cops just hang around and catch speeders/drunks. One kid said he went 157 in his supra but no road in my town is straight/long enough to get up to that speed and not kill yourself.

on a completely unrelated note....how do u get the fquick thing on the left?
