hey all,

we all know 6gc has a strict "NO street racing" policy, so that is not what i'd like to discuss here.
what i would like to discuss is the option of allowing "performance" videos.

for example:
speedo vids (as long as there not in heavy traffic, or racing)
flyby vids,
in car performance vids (again, as long as its not in heavy traffic or racing)
are all things i think we could allow, while still maintaining the no street racing policy.
i'd like to hear all of your thoughts on this, and just to be clear, again, this is not about allowing street racing on the site, we WILL not allow that.
lets keep this discussion on topic, and civil, please. wink.gif

It sounds like a good idea, but under the discretion of the rules this'll get out of hand quickly and there's not much of a line between "heavy traffic" and "not too much traffic, could've been dangerous to make this vid or it couldn't have," and it'll turn into a pointless feature.

i think the line between, in traffic, and not in traffic is pretty clear.
the only way it gets out of hand is from people like you who abuse the rules of this site. rolleyes.gif

Questions:
What about one car videoing another car accelerating hard from a roll on the highway (no weaving, no excess of 100mph speeds, yada yada)
What about 2 cars one videoing the other both accelartaing heard for a short while and NOT exceeding the Speed limit of the highway
What about parking lot burnouts
What about parking lot drifting
How fast is to fast to post on an acceleration video (so someone doesn't start to cry I let out at 85-90MPH and there are no such highways with such speed limits in NJ)
What about a WOT drieby
What about 2 cars WOT side by side drive by

#1, using a chace car would be fine IMO.
#2, that would be street racing, so no.
#3 is no big deal
#4 aint happening in a 6gc lmao.
#5 speed isnt so much the concern as much as it not being racing..like i said, i think speedo vids and things of the like, showing speed, even if it is over the speed limit (i mean, lets be real, how many of us acutally drive under the speed limit ALL the time?)
#6 is fine IMO
#7 would be street racing, so no.

keep em coming guys.
