Mexico and the track is a big difference.

Most ''track'' cars can't hook in Mexico.

There was a cruise last time, it went 30 miles or so.

I don't know what it is with the "mexico" guys, I know of a couple of them have gone to the round bar hotel and had their cars impounded. To me, that is enough incentive to not want to go.... street car, race car or not...but this thread isn't about that - it's about going to a sanctioned, legal race at a race track.

Just curious,

Why would a street car beat a track car on the street? Do you need to set-up the car differently for the street races in Mexico? I am guessing it is due to the lack of a sticky surface so you have to make adjustments to the suspension / chassis / tires, etc.....

How do you figure it's a different skill? If your going from a roll all you have to do is down shift. You go from a stop and it's just like leaning how to launch your car at the track, only there is less traction on the street, which just means all you need is a little practice to see what your car likes. Not really a different skill set if you ask me.

Well with a 1k HP you should be faster than 10s so it could get rather expensive. I don't know why you wouldn't have incorporated it into the car while it was being built.

And I'm pretty sure it would take the same skill to get that kind of power to hook at the track so I still don't see your point. Not to mention turning a 1k horses loose on the street is just FUCKING STUPID!

Hey you're entitled to your own opinion. I can tell you one thing, its 500% more challenging to get a car with good power to hook on the street versus track. If you don't believe that then you're obviously not much of a racer. Thats my point and I see why you dont see it now.

Actually I have a very good idea what it takes to get a car to hook at the track. I also know that it's much more difficult to get a car to hook and go on the street, given that the street isn't race prepped. Which should have been your first clue that you aren't suppose to be racing there.

Anyone thats been behind the wheel of a car at the track knows it's easier to hook there. Thats why they call it the race track, not the race street. You go head and keep doing dumb shit and I'll be sure to send you something to beat off to when you end in jail for killing an innocent bystander.

Nope never been to a street race, something about being a law abiding citizen that appeals to me. I don't consider any thing that runs higher than a 10.5 to be a fast car.

So if there is no one past the start line then it's like being at the track only with no tree to start you, no official finish line or way to see who was there first, oh and no traction.

I'm tryin to find a diplomatic way to address this one!............... I can't................. So orangeponcho, zygotemrsmith and a shit load of others can show up in mexico with their "mexico" car, but it aint a "race/track car" because they are in mexico? That's got horse shit written all over it. They haul them fockers around on a trailer from mexico to mexico and none of those mexico cars can go 2 miles without over heating on their own. zygotemrsmith has a 665 inch motor in that car and he will never get that thing to hook in mexico. But he is too scared to bring it to a local track cause he knows he will get his ass handed to him in a New York minite because it is a wanna be race/track car! Thats why he stays in mexico, cause he can't hang with the other, backhalf, big tire, big inch cars that race where they should, AT A TRACK!

So basicly, what you are sayin is, if you can't build horespower, or if you don't know how to build horsepower, or don't want to build big horespower, race in mexico where you can have a chance?.......That's what I thought. Horsepower rules at the track. Wanna be horsepower rules in mexico.

My car is set up to hook at the track because I don't street race. If that were my thing I would have it set up to hook on the street. It's all about know what you car can do and how it will react when you launch it. All it takes in either case is practice and suspension work.

So orangeponcho, zygotemrsmith and a shit load of others can show up in mexico with their "mexico" car, but it aint a "race/track car" because they are in mexico? That's got horse shit written all over it. They haul them fockers around on a trailer from mexico to mexico and none of those mexico cars can go 2 miles without over heating on their own. zygotemrsmith has a 665 inch motor in that car and he will never get that thing to hook in mexico. But he is too scared to bring it to a local track cause he knows he will get his ass handed to him in a New York minite because it is a wanna be race/track car! Thats why he stays in mexico, cause he can't hang with the other, backhalf, big tire, big inch cars that race where they should, AT A TRACK!

So basicly, what you are sayin is, if you can't build horespower, or if you don't know how to build horsepower, or don't want to build big horespower, race in mexico where you can have a chance?.......That's what I thought. Horsepower rules at the track. Wanna be horsepower rules in mexico.

I'm off my soap box, carry on.

He's scared of the track....You're scared of the street.... I guess you guys are even.

My car is set up to hook at the track because I don't street race. If that were my thing I would have it set up to hook on the street. It's all about know what you car can do and how it will react when you launch it. All it takes in either case is practice and suspension work. You guys make it sound like it's a miracle if you get a car to leave on the street.

I havent figured it out yet on the street. My car hooks great at the track. Maybe you could teach me? ;)

Look, I'm not trying to start any fights with you guys. I just don't see the point in racing on the street when there is so much more to loose than if you just pay the 15-20 bucks and take it to the track. Maybe you get a bigger rush because there is more at stake on the street. I guess I can understand that. The risk just isn't worth it IMO. I'm really just trying to understand what is so appealing about it.

I'm just really having a hard time understanding. To me it sounds like they are setting up pretty much a track like environment to race in, making sure that no one is around, and no one gets past the starting line, (which I totally give them props for doing), and marking the finish line. Seems the only difference is there are no safety regulations, no tree and time boards, and less traction. Is that close?

Well.. This thread wasn't intended to create a bitch fest, but it did :D. It was intended to create exposure for the race coming up, it did.

The long story short is - this race was created to give the "street" cars a place to race legally, and win some money while doing it.


Racing on the street, having a street car, having a streetable car, and having a car that will hook up on the street are all very different. Having said that, NONE of the "mexico" cars are "street" cars. They are race cars, that are trailered from place to place, with only a very few of them actually getting driven on the street ever, much less regularly - maybe this is why they don't join in? maybe it's because they aren't safety legal? Who knows.

... carry on.. I don't know where I was going with that.

I seen him duck and dodge a certian red 76 Camaro all night long one night in mexico to the point he agreed to run on the track, but that never happened cause he knew he, zygotemrsmith, was gonna get his tail handed to him no matter where it went down.

If the track was open 24/7 that would help some. Also not everybody has thousand of dollars to make the car legal to go down the track. I am doing all that stuff right now and it sucks(even though its for my own good). There isnt an hour line to wait in to race. It is more challenging to hook on the street(even though you dont think so). Its just a lot of fun. And they/we dont do it like the old Royal days. Spectators are moved out of harms way or no race happens. It is a pretty controlled environment other than some very fast cars on a more slippery surface ;) Its not like the stupid shit you see on the news all the time.

I didn't say it wasn't hard to hook on the street, but if thats all you race on then I would think after a while you would get better at it. The rest of the stuff I can totally understand. It does suck having to wait in line for your few seconds of fun, and the safety stuff is expensive, but I just always figured they require you to have that for a reason. It's also not like the track is a very controlled environment either, it just has bleachers and a concrete wall. I have a better understanding of what goes on now, I was under the impression you guys just drove around till you found an open street and went at. Thats my bad. I may not agree with, or partake in the festivities, but I now have a better understanding of it's appeal.

It doesn't take thousands of dollars to make it legal to go down the track. Most of those mexico cars already have the stuff to make it legal. As far as the hour long wait...........Oh my goodness, the mexico races take all night long because they have to run all over mexico, ducking and dodging the mexico po-po to the wee hours of the morning just to get off a pass. Not fun to me driving all over mexico to see 2 or 3 races.

Yep you got me there, I'm 1hp under 380. Thats only because we made the tune a little safer it put down 390 on the pull before that, but was a little too lean for driving the street everyday.

I just don't understand taking the risk of getting arrested and losing your car to do something that I can go do at a track legally and have nothing to worry about. Not to mention better traction.

Yes the traction thing isn't as big a problem for my little car compared to the big dogs, but in my eyes thats just all the more reason to take it to the track.

Let me get on my soap box here with UNC......

I have known 2 very close friends who has been lost in street racing, Neither of them ever excpected it to happen to them, known some to be flipped over in corn fields or tossed into their grandma's front yard. Of corse this was in a very disclosed location, one at white swan another on greenville avenue. One guy watched his brother tumble over and over on a farmers market rd in the middle of the night.

Shit man, we had starting lines, VHT'd the place, scanners, had radios and look outs at each end of the track. A dirt rd took you to my house in less then 2 minuts. Of course that was the last option, state troopers suck ass!

I'm just as guilty as the rest of you guys, if some jerk off in a car who he thinks is fast I'll let him know real quick who his daddy is! The best are the ones who have thier girls with them. You Mexico guys can keep your tracks in Mexico. I'll stick to where I dont have to worry about who in the hells gonna tow my car to the nearest pound.

Accident's happen any where, any time, and any place. I just wanna know there is somebody there who can save my ass just in case something does happen.

Call out for the Mexico boys:
If you think your cars is fast enough to out run the Chevy II, bring it dont sing it. After all they wont kick you out for making 1 single pass. Thats all we will need to see who's faster. You'll have NO excuses, if you can hook on the street, then you can damn sure hook on the track.

YOU might as well stay home man. You have a single layer jacket, no pants, no certification, no license, incorrect SNELL rating (I think), blow down tube, etc..

You're right, that is a lot to get done by the 18th (but it can be done).

Remember, I know what it runs, and they will tech you to the full extent, I'd hate to see you waste a trip out there. I'm not trying to rain on your parade..but (safety) rules are rules..

So orangeponcho, zygotemrsmith and a shit load of others can show up in mexico with their "mexico" car, but it aint a "race/track car" because they are in mexico? That's got horse shit written all over it. They haul them fockers around on a trailer from mexico to mexico and none of those mexico cars can go 2 miles without over heating on their own. zygotemrsmith has a 665 inch motor in that car and he will never get that thing to hook in mexico. But he is too scared to bring it to a local track cause he knows he will get his ass handed to him in a New York minite because it is a wanna be race/track car! Thats why he stays in mexico, cause he can't hang with the other, backhalf, big tire, big inch cars that race where they should, AT A TRACK!

So basicly, what you are sayin is, if you can't build horespower, or if you don't know how to build horsepower, or don't want to build big horespower, race in mexico where you can have a chance?.......That's what I thought. Horsepower rules at the track. Wanna be horsepower rules in mexico.

I'm off my soap box, carry on.

You make a great point UNC. Unforunately you could only list 3 cars out of the entire dfw area that prove your point. And you're right, horsepower wins at the track. Horsepower = money. So the biggest pockets make the most horsepower. The street is an equalizer. This really isnt a hard theory to understand. Bring Mello Yello to Mexico and I'll put her back on the trailer for ya.

Josh, I think his point is that you greatly increase your chances of a wreck on a non-prepped "mexico" street. Prepping the first 40 feet is not the same as dragging the whole track etc... Going over 100-140 on a public street just isn't the same as doing 60-80 down the high way.

I personally know of 2 of the "mexico" racers that got thier cars impounded and went downtown. I don't know about you guys, but I have WAY too much money in my car for it to sit in an impound lot, get scratched, or parts stolen off of it.

Josh, I think his point is that you greatly increase your chances of a wreck on a non-prepped "mexico" street. Prepping the first 40 feet is not the same as dragging the whole track etc... Going over 100-140 on a public street just isn't the same as doing 60-80 down the high way.

I personally know of 2 of the "mexico" racers that got thier cars impounded and went downtown. I don't know about you guys, but I have WAY too much money in my car for it to sit in an impound lot, get scratched, or parts stolen off of it.

I agree that it is not AS safe as the track. We try to make it as safe as possible for "mexico races" and everybody there understands the risks involved in doing it.

Yep you're right. Those two racers went off on their own and got caught. I agree with everything you said. I have too much in my car to let it sit in an impound lot as well. Thats why I'm not planning on giving them a chance to take my car. Gotta get caught in the act. Anyways thanks for the invite Brooks, maybe next time.

I have had friends die on there drive to work. I have had friends die in there sleep. I STILL DROVE TO WORK THIS MORNING AND I AM STILL GOING TO SLEEP TONIGHT ;) Accidents happen everywhere with everything.

And everybody says its not worth losing your car. Who do you know that has lost there car do to street racing(not wrecking, getting caught). I dont know of any????

True, but they where not tempting fate now where they. I know of three cars that where seized as a result of street racing. Two tried to run (BAD DEAL), one on his third ticket they kept the car.

You know there is a much higher risk of an wreck being deadly at 100+ mph than at 30 mph.

I can also let you talk to a few that after $$$$ of dollars in fines and a few days in the gray bar don't street race anymore to. And they thouhgt the same way you do.

YOU might as well stay home man. You have a single layer jacket, no pants, no certification, no license, incorrect SNELL rating (I think), blow down tube, etc..

You're right, that is a lot to get done by the 18th (but it can be done).

....besides, will that bucket of bolts stay together for a full 1/4 mile pass ? :D

Remember, I know what it runs, and they will tech you to the full extent, I'd hate to see you waste a trip out there. I'm not trying to rain on your parade..but (safety) rules are rules..

...also, the way I understood it - you have to be "legal" to win.

you're are right it's alot to get done and if i had the stuff done to my car that i wanted to get done, i would comply and go get all my safety stuff done to run in this.... but i slacked off and didnt get shit done so i guess i will be sittin there with you and chris watchin LOL.

and assuming my fittings are tight i am pretty sure it would get down the track a time or two! :p

what snell approved helmet do i need? this is for my street bike and i would think that it wouldnt get much better than that? maybe i am wrong, enlighten me please

You make a great point UNC. Unforunately you could only list 3 cars out of the entire dfw area that prove your point. And you're right, horsepower wins at the track. Horsepower = money. So the biggest pockets make the most horsepower. The street is an equalizer. This really isnt a hard theory to understand. Bring Mello Yello to Mexico and I'll put her back on the trailer for ya.



my junk isn't one of the three...........just got back from a 30 min ride, never got over 160

Call out for the Mexico boys:
If you think your cars is fast enough to out run the Chevy II, bring it dont sing it. After all they wont kick you out for making 1 single pass. Thats all we will need to see who's faster. You'll have NO excuses, if you can hook on the street, then you can damn sure hook on the track.
