I left out the part where I walked you by 5 lengths, Walnut.

I think that those that race on the street and get away with it will never be convinced that they are reckless or endangering anyone else...and certainly there are precautions that one can take to minimize those risks (at least in your own mind)...but those that track/race regularly are all too familiar with the carnage and fatalities (sometimes very unexpected) that can result from triple digit speeds (sometimes much slower) in the best environment possible, a race track, with equally experienced drivers, safety workers and medical teams on site...this difference in opinion is just one of those things, and it won't be settled here...everyone should enjoy their car in the way they see fit and suffer the consequences

As for my Avitar, that's my brother, who is a police officer and a huge Porsche fan. I took my car into his town and I let him drive my GT2 (He's a long time driving instructor at the police academy). He let me drive his police car, which was faster than I expected, and the AR-15 at arms reach was pretty cool too. He said my GT2 was "illegal" and "sick fast". We had a fun time driving around town. He would get behind me in the police car at a light and you could see the other drivers at the light saying "oh oh". He would then say over the loudspeaker in his best Buford Pusser impersonation: "Pull dat dere Por-she over" It was great!
with a gt2 i think some tickets is a must hahahaLast edited by MTheory; 04-07-2009 at 09:48 PM.

On a serious note I feel that I should point out a few things: The stereotypical street race/street racer/fastnfurious type is indeed a menace to society. Second, everyone with a Porsche should be mandated to spend at least two full days (8 sessions) on a track w/ quality instruction.
Having said that, the culture here really is unique. First, Hewstone Texaco really is a different place w/ a hyper car culture: It is, geographically speaking, an ugly place. I have lived all over the country, Ca, NY, Chicago (been to Fla) and our land is flat w/ no redeeming geography. What is wonderful is that we have these exquisit and cheap masterplanned communities sprawled out and connected by the most massive and pristine (compared to other places) superhighways you will ever see. Everyone drives 25K miles a year here just doing regular commuting (our lifestyle is not sustainable, I will be the first to admit).
Although Houston is a HUGE place w/ more 500 plus hp cars than anywhere on the planet, most everyone knows everyone. Our meets, GTG are very cliquish and if we think there is even one in a million chance that you are an idiot, you will never get invited to a run. Most everyone I know has lots and lots of track experience, 1/4, road course, kartring etc.
When we go out for a run we like to go in fairly small groups (the most common is 4 cars) and if there is even a hint of traffic we will not go. Some new guys have done stupid stuff and you can guarantee they will never be invited again. 2 cars will square off and go on the third honk. Again, I, and most the people I know would rather lose a race than take any chance. There is an art and a science to the roll on.
Now for chance unscheduled the encounter on the street, yes I get those all the time. Again, I won't go unless it is 100% safe and when I do I rarely lose.
EdiT: And one other very important thing: Most of the roll on community here is much older, 30's 40's and above. The record 60 to 130 is held by a gentelman who is about 60. I generally don't believe that those under 30 have the experience or temperment to do what we do. I certainly would not let my son participate. Chris is an exception but he is mature and conservative (and a bit of a wuss) A while back there was a 19 year old in a TT Viper that wanted to play and none of us would get near him. As expected, he stacked his car (but is fortunately OK).
