When you race (legally) which do you prefer circuit or strip. There are so many idiots on the roads in nz always trying to race people I just ignore them when they pull up to me some innocent 12 yo died the other day from a street racer the 12 yo was walking on the footpath it makes me sick. It's always better for people to pay $10 to race on a legal track than pay for their lives or someone elses.

circuit..if possible, road circuit(closed off road, but actuall street). Theres a few solo races at a mall about 20 min down the road from here, i go on the open days and race against my buddies neon and hatchi. But yea, i find circuit/road is more fun cuz ur move involved in the race, ur doing more than just shifting from one gear 2 the next and holding the wheel straight. I mean, nothin wrong with just straight drag, but its only fun with a 12.5 sec car or less. Second time down the 1/4 mile was in a 96 civic hatch with a k20a2 motor(RSX), 6 speed trans, sheet metal all around, tube chassis/chromemoly cage, fiberglass front end. I built it at my first job workin in a garage with 2 other guys. I was duing co-op for school, so wasnt gettin paid for the work. So at the end of the school year they decided to give me a gift and let me run the civic down the track and then take out their RB powered S13 around the circuit and taugth me 2 drift. But yea, in a FWD car, circuit. Fast FWD car, drag. Any RWD car, circuit or drift .

I agree with you. Since our cars are underpowered, the corners are the only way that we can actually bring out the full potential of the celicas. At car meets and races, I'm just usually there to spectate, cause I know I can't beat cars draggin, but If I see a fast racer when Im out on the curvy highway, I will challenge the driver by flashing at them and getting close to them and what not. So, far I've beaten numerouse Civics with crappy bodykits and mazda proteges. Truckers on the other hand are something else, They drive like idiots and will go onto the other lane in an attempt to beat you. They have no regards to oncoming traffic, cause they think they can just ram them over. |

I would prefer track, but I think the nearest one to me is down in CT. So for now, strip.

Street racing sucks....circuit should be like your 2nd home
I dont like street racing but in my country it is a way of life,people street racing all the time beacuse we dont have circuit and the community thinks that it is not necessary!!!! |
