Are there any kind of basic "rules" when someone revs at you from a light? I mean do you guys race all comers or do some people rev at you just to get under your skin? A Ford Explorer with 3 passengers was revvin' at me at a light and I admit, I was like "huh"??

 

Rules in street racing are like hookers with health insurence. TOTALY NON-EXISTANT.

 

tell them you want to race and then go really slow

 

 

An explorer.. humm.. I say save your gas.. and race cars that you know should give you a little more competition..

 

they probably just wanted to see the rotary power

 

They must be dedicated.

 

Well if it is an unexpected race, what usually happens to me is someone revs, then someone either points at the light or straight ahead and a nod then its on....

 

Its like this.. thats not street racing, thats stop light racing. Which is dangerous, and endangers innocent peoples lives. I try not to do it, and i dont encourage it. But when someone revs at you in an explorer they are just ******* with you... best idea is to just laugh at them. If a honda (or equavilant)revs at you, best thing to do is this...



1: look ahead, make sure no traffic is in front of you (if no one is in front, see #2 else see #10)

2: look back at the person, smile, and give a slight rev back (this lets them know youre game)

3: look back forward to make sure no one has turned into your lane and watch the light facing the other way.

4: when light turns green, launch your car like you would at any stop light, then when you are across the intersection, punch it

5: pass them by and wave

6: pull to the next light and give them a thumbs up (even if you dont want to)

7: repeat steps (unless you the race was won by more than 2 car lengths ... in which case you would both be wasting gas)



10: dont race!



Those are the rules of stop light racing... street racing is totally different.

hope this helps.

 

very nice write up there
