How do you guys get down! Is it purley highway runs only w/ your crew blocking off traffic from behind? How do you go about getting your money? Better yet what's the cash limit? And how do you prevent losers from taking off before paying up? Do you look for a good race or for a hustle? From locking it up to paying up, tell us how you do!

I have done many street races before, but it's never been for money. Most of the time, it's a random race when someone pulls up next to me on the highway. So far, I have only lost to a z06. I've beaten is300s,g35/37s, vettes, g8's, the list goes on. A lot of v8's lose pretty badly. But, I really want to have more of an edge, so I'll be upgrading my setup soon. There have been a few times where 10-15 of us get together and roll out for races. We have the fastest three cars up front, and the rest behind to keep traffic back. The first three go whatever speed they'd like, and they go! Tons of fun, no trouble yet (Thankfully :pray:)
I'd love to hear other people's stories about racing, especially for money :iorun:

How do u comepare to those gt35 rsx's?
And do u do any digs? It'd be nice to make some money after dumping so much in to the cars :(

Common some other ppl have to chime in I know the ppl of boosted k20 aren't pussys that obey the law lol

In my town there is a big muscle car crew that does it deep and they like to invite our big import racers to play. They go out to their few select spots and before hand pour corn starch or something like that if I remember all over the ground. Shit gets sticky just like at the track it's amazing. But the big dogs don't believe in roll racing.

I have a bunch of races on YouTube. I've ran a built Audi RS6 (v8 twin turbo). A Sti. A turbo accord. A type r swapped civic coupe. trans am ws6. A 07 Si. Srt-4's. Beamer M3's. All from digs. I don't do roll races. And I don't race for free. If I gotta risk my license I'm getting paid for it.

We get together most nights of the week and set up races through Facebook. We have groups from different areas that all come to a common spot to set things up. Once we set up a race we have a neutral party member who didn't put money in hold the pot (money). We go and wait for a break in traffic and pull out do the burnouts in our water we pour out and line em up if space was given they get set out. a "chase is a race" for us. And if it's not on video it didn't happen so it's always video'd. After the pass has been made we go back to the common spot and get paid. We have what we call "race promoters". They are the ones that set the races up. In all seriousness it's like being ludacris in the 2nd fast n furious. He set up the races and holds the money. We have ppl from other states coming here some nights because the business is good. We don't bull shit. We all come out to play so you gotta bring your A game.

My car is a 11.90 car and I run for good money. I seen ppl drop 2000 total from both sides but still allot of money for a couple all motor 11-12 sec cars. The slower the car you pick the lower the money basically. But it also depends on what ppl are racing.

It's really about how many ppl are there to put money in.

Your car setup is really good for racing from a dig. With enough power to get you moving, but not enough to break loose, it hauls. What transmission mods and axles are you running? Any upgrades at all to prevent breakage from the hard launches?

no.

look at a dyno graph for a rotrex k20 they make no tourqe and there is basically nothing untill 7k rpms.

tony rouths c-30 rotrex car makes 350whp on 14psi with watermeth injection and it doesnt really starting seeing 300+ untill well into 6800+ RPMs.

That was when I was making only 330whp. My car had no problems hooking in first at the track. On the street there was major spinning.

My car only made 250trq when tuned and I know Tony Routh. He lives near me. I wet him up with that kit cuz he was waiting on kraftwerks. And where are they now? Still haven't released a kit.

My car runs as if it were NA the way it builds power. Here's my dyno

Torque on this dyno didn't work well when graphed that's why it's not there.

That's great and all if you trust the ppl enough that they'll pay up if they loose. Where I'm from ppl are Grimey as shit. Thats why we have a neutral pot holder who holds both sides and hands the money over only AFTER a video or majority vote (or a clear decision) has taken Place.

That's how it used to be for us until only the ppl who actually did the racing decided to not tell the dumbass ppl who do burnouts n shit in the parking lots where we met up. We've changed spots like ppl change clothes...on the daily.

We pretty much do it the same way someone else said in here, the 3 biggest cars of the night line up on the 4 lane highway and everyone picks their partners behind them. After a few pulls of that, we head to the destination of the night to do some country side dig races.

And man if your 330whp rsx with slicks is doing 11.9 I cant wait to see what happens when I get my slicks mounted on some spare wheels lol. I'm worried for my axel when I turn the boost beyond my 398@7lbs.

At 7lbs on the full race kit, I'm already smoking fully bolted 6.0 gtos, evos and sti's lol. We got a red single turbo super as well with like a 62 trim in it that I blow out of the water too, it's sad because I think the twin was faster :/

I believe my car is the only one(RSX) to run an 11.9 with only 330 Whp. Right now i have the second fastest supercharged rsx in the nation with that time. And I'd love to see your times.

And what motor are on boosting? K24? k20? High compression? That's allot of power for 7lbs.

I have a 06 SI. It's a complete full race gt35r kit. The manifold and downpipe are solid and flow so well, plus full races intercooler is very efficient. If imagine I'll hve tranny issues if I put Mickies on for a pass though, I spin a lot right now but that's mostly due to my nitto invos being bald from horrible camber.

You must be able to launch it very nice to pull a speed like that. I don't do too many dig races because I'm just always worried since it's my DD for now haha. Oh and I have a comp stg4 clutch that loves to be launched, I'm interested in times as well if I can spank my friends 12 sec gto

PetefromtheStreets
04-26-2011, 11:48 PM
Ok. I seen your car in the ROTM thread. Nice car. I run on M&H 24.5x8.5 15's slicks

I have the exact same clutch as you do but I will soon be needing a new type. I do a lot of dig racing. For me it challenges my ability to make due with what traction I have while beating the car next to me. And I don't do just random pulls on the highway vs Cadillacs and all that. Lol. I save it for the vetted and trans ams.

But be sure to let us know what times you manage. To put things in perspective I ran 12.98 @ 111 on my street tires. 2.1 60'. Spaz beat my street tire times. Lol.

The only thing I dislike about thisclutch is it's way too heavy duty lol. If you aren't launching quick, it has so much clutch chatter, at least for me, maybe k suck but I called comp and asked and theysaid it's normal lol.

So you are saying slicks helped you a crap ton huh? That's very good to know, at the least I'll buy some radials instead of using my slicks, I don't want instant hook or I'm for sure to rip the tranny out heh. How long you been supercharged?

Oh and one question with your clutch. Did you use everything that came with the box? Like the throw out bearing? Or did you use the old throw out? Because I have the loudest noise coming from my tran housing, it's been going on for a few months but the car still hold strong so I'm curious what it is

PetefromtheStreets
04-27-2011, 11:01 PM
Yes slicks dropped me an entire second off my 1/4 times.

I don't like radials. But that's just me.

I think playing it east by preloading and feathering out the clutch in 2nd will save your trans.....at least for a while. Lol

I've been supercharged for about 9 months now.

And yes mine get that chatter awell. It's kinda annoying too lol. Yea I used everything that came in the box but I've had no issue with noise. I'm guessing the noise stops when you push in on the clutch? 9 times outta 10 it's the throw out bearing. An I've seen it happen from the input shaft not being lubricated slightly with grease to allow a smooth surface and same with the pivot point on the lever attached to the throw out bearing.

The weird thing is the sound doesn't stop at all when I push the clutch in. It's extremely loud. Although my friend put a cam into the tranny and he said the TOB has more play in it than normal.

PetefromtheStreets

Could be that the bearing has went bad. Did you lubricate the input shaft when reinstalling everything? I believe they just send you an oem bearing with the kit but I'm not entirely sure.

Walkie talkies are deff a nice thing to have. Me and my crew use em to 1) make sure there isn't any foul play in a street race (like if I set out a car 10 lengths I can't tell if he's creeping.)
And 2) for it the cops make an appearance. We tried the whole police scanner thing and it's not that easy. They have different bands to click over to to give us false hope for a cop free night.
