ok....I'm sorry if I offended anyone on the "racing", I understand where you guy come from. Even if I did race it would be totally legal at a drag strip or something, I would not risk getting my car taken away from me or get a huge ticket or anything like that. One of the main reasons I like 240s is its style and I have always had a liking in skyline engines....sorry for everything.....still friends?:thumbsup

yeah heaven forbid you get a ticket, don't mind the kid you kill because you couldn't slow down, but oh shit please not a ticket:tears

i recommend a name change and re-signing up for these forums, and perhaps the purchase of a different car.

This thread is absolutely hilarious:dancingna

Hey first of all I will not deny it, I love racing, I always have, racing gives me a rush that nothing else can even come close to and I just love the feeling of beating the other guy im racing with. It is something I like doing, that is who I am. So if you and everybody elses do not like me because I like to race, then thats your problem!

But this statement right there (if you do it on the street, which was blatantly stated), is what get people killed and gets the innocent people who do it legally(sanctioned bodies) harrassed unecessarily. I guess the guy who goes around shooting people can say the same thing in court huh?? "Its just who I am, its something I like doing, etc." I am sure that would go over quite well with the jury and judge:nono

Hmmm.... Now that I think about it, I'm suprised i havnt seen any street raceing around here. Streets are abandond at about 2 a.m. around here.... LOVE driveing at that time! All the lights just turn greet for me, dun have to wory about the dude in the PIMP'N scion going 45 in 55 MPH zone, nor the dude trying to go 90 in his monstertruck wana be pickup.... Don't have to worie about the idiot that ALWAYS seems to pull up nex't to me challenging me to a drag race at every red light eather! But on the down side, turning left is VERRY difecult on abanded street's... Spose it's about time i get a car so I can turn left again! ('93 Katana :thumbsup)

Alright I know im new to this forum but it seems like a lot of people on here rag the new guys if they ask a simple question. the kid wanted a 240 and u simply told him NO. I would tell the kid to get one cuz personally ive owned 2 and they are the funnest cars ive ever driven. and yes in my town there is street racing. but street racing doesnt mean racing through the middle of town endangering everybody, cuz that would be stupid as shit and your endagering everybody. but around here we go to dead end roads or roads that nobody live on and usually have cars at the other end making sure noone is coming plus at night you can see people lights. your not racing on a curvy road, your racing on a straight shot from 1 end to the other, so its pretty safe. you and the guy ur racing both take a risk when you say ok to the race.this is just my opinion. people dont drop a shit load of money into there car to drive like grandmas. you guys might but we sure dont

I agree with Trevor on this one, you can race but you need something set up...something safe, this will sound noob refuring to it but how 'fast and the furious' does it...blocking any intersections and keep people coming at you. I know that you can race (at least in my city) in after hours cus lots of crime is happening and the cops are held up somewhere else, but what I was wondering how you can find sanctioned events in cities that dont even have them? and a good way to putting how you should not race and the such:

We here at 240sxforums.com for the most part don't condone street racing and any illegal activity while on the roads. Because of street racing, street drifting, parking lot drifting, and various other accompanying bodies of unorganized illegal street action has brought forth harder legal action being taken against s-chassis owners.

this is a good statement because it is supposed to teach kids to not do it but at the same time while your saying this to KIDS they will do it for the attention or they might just rip something off like this:

ok kick back Dom Torreto. Spare us your "I live my life a 1/4 mile at a time" speech.

Nobody is raggin on you for racing or liking it. It's street racing I (we) have a problem with. It's not worth it and it just puts everyone else in jeopardy.

now that should be the end of it no more if you wana race play a game and if you like the rush then go ride a roller coaster now if you want to drift or MAYBE dont hate on me if this is wrong but try and set up a sanctioned event or even a few ask your district judge if you can get the permision and "do some research" there have bien like 30 threads started on the same subject...
:crazyrant
good day Will:dancingco

PS: if you want a different car and you have the cash to buy a skyline engine then just get a wide body kit and the such and put it on a good Civic CX is what sounds like would fit you.:thumbsup

Why would you bother with all of the effort of blocking off intersections, making sure no cops are in the area, and etc.? That's way too much effort. Just go to a drag strip, plain and simple. Two seconds of google.com will tell you where they are all located by you.

Do you have any idea what goes into a drift event? You first need to find a really big place to do it (not a regular best buy parking lot, something very big). Then you have to pass it by the owner(s) of the parking lot and get a legal writ with them verifying it is okay to use their parking lot. Then you have to go to city council meetings to pass this through your local city and judge to be able to hold the event. Once you have that you need the event to be insured to have it happen. You need literally, over a million dollars of insurance to hold a drift event. To help pay for that kind of insurance you need a sanctioining body. Good luck with that because almost none are willing to help. I was trying to get NASA grip who sponsors local drift events and they weren't willing to help me. There are several bodies but you have to put together a very good package/kit to present to them on why they should sanction you. Much less it is difficult to just get returned phone calls because they get these kinds of messages CONSTANTLY. If you somehow manage to get sanctioning bodies you will still want sponsors so you can break even on the cost of the event. The sponsors will bring tire mounting, changing, balancing equipment and more. Afterthat you need people to come to your event. Before you let anyone register you have to put together a contract and registration form. After you spend a lot of money with a lawyer who helps you write the insurance waiver you can come up with a cost for the event and hope enough people register so you can break even. You can't base the price of the event by the number of people attending, it doesn't work like that. Tell me if you still want to organize a drift event.

That was REALY helpfull and you can close my other thread down since you answered in this one...and as for the google.ca search your talking about lmao how did you know...I've bien searching both there and yahoo.com and I cant find eneything..wellz I'm going to school now I'll go on there and you can tell me of a few good sponsers and what sanctioning bodies there are to be able to get one started...I would still like to start one but it would be from friday night to sat. afternoon or even night...and I'm not looking for money sure that would be nice but I still want people to have fun while keeping it legal...in winnipeg there are only drag events...I wana drift and race...races will be VERY hard...maybe an X races (extreme).

What the hell is X races (extreme)?

I am telling you right now, you will not organize this. You will never even find a store owner who will let you use his parking lot, by far the easiest part. There will never be an event where there is drifting and drag going on at the same time, or if there is, you will only be able to compete in one. And even if this did exist anyway, it would only be a demo by pro drifters, not an amateur event because it would be held in such a small venue.

Just remember too, if you organize an event, you don't get to compete in it anyway. Look at google harder.
