[IOWNU]

Even if you do have the occassional go at the lights, or speed, its not very smart to come on the net and brag about it......

wasent at a proper "paid" to get in drag strip, in my town we have a closed down small air strip that not many people know about, which is soon going to be ripped down and houses going up.

also i thought people wouldnt mind talking about drags or races because its a type of sport and a lust for power.

As i thought

ILLEGAL

it is a type of motorsport only when it is done in a controlled environment properly, and in this case, down the 1/4 strip.

im not saying im all innocent, but at least i am not proud of what i have done.

I think the forum should start a section caled "The Tool Shed" and put people like this with threads like both of his in it to make it much easier for the cops to cull the shit from these forums!

Not only did he start one thread and got flamed but he though it prudent to post esentially the same thread again in yet again the wrong section!

And here's news for you idiot - That air strip isn't going to be so unknown now you've posted it on the world wide web!

I've had skylines for a few years, so have some mates and they've got other modded cars as well...

While i think any kind of racing, dragging, drifting etc really should only be done in legal ways, i know i've done it from time to time on the street and i'm sure that a lot of other people who are flaming you have also done similar things...

I haven't read your original post but from the responses in this thread it's as tho the forum as a whole think that they're holier then thou...

can all these people flaming the OP honestly say they've never sped, or had a little traffic lights show down...?

you can honestly say you've never said to a fellow car friend IRL that you had a little run with CAR-XYZ??? To me, there's nothing wrong with this... it's one thing to go blasting through subburban streets like a lunatic... it's another thing to make a concious deciscion to "have a little fun" (here come the flames) in a place where most poeple would consider at least a little bit safer... and i'm not talking about crazy top speed runs or anything...

If you think the question posed by the OP is stupid, don't respond... nothing shuts someone up quicker then 10's of thousands of people ignoring their posts...

bah, whatever... i'll probably get flamed for this too... back to trolling..

This forum focus is on skylines primarily, with other high performance japanese cars also rating high mention. As the popularity of these cars increases on Australian roads and track, so too will the popularity and exposure of forums/sites such as this one. Due to these sorts of vehicles being largely popular to own for the purpose of modification and/or motorsport (however you wish to interpret the term), and also being very commonly owned by young men. (all of which are attributes that will gain the attention of those in law creation/enforcement and the media) The "scene" has been thrust into the spotlight particularly in the last few years.

Now with any success comes responsibility. If our community is going to be put under the spotllight, as we no doubt are. (Just look at the numbers of stories done by "journalists" woking for ACA/Today Tonight type programs, and the open admissions by police and politicians that they will target imports because of "hoon" behaviour and the ease of ability to extract more power) Then we must abide by the laws that we are give. Otherwise we will be seen as even less socially acceptable, and recieve even more grief from the police.

"One bad egg can rot the whole barrel" All we need is for one traffic cop or journalist to find a post encouraging/condoning something as illegal and contentious as street racing, for our scene to be judged on that alone and recieve more bad press. Thats why ANYTHING illegal should be kept away from these forums, simply to sustain a level of credibility and respect.
