Do you race for $$$??

[nismodave]

The title is a question Im asking all you gearheads.

Seeing that the majority of members here with ''FAST" cars like to race their cars in a straight line, be it the street or GLD, I figured this might be an interesting poll.

Recently a person threw out a challenge to certain people with certain cars, but said they would only race for $5000. Intreaging to say the least. I will comment what I think about this challenge later in the thread. So I wont influence anyones vote.:durr

Of course Im not talking about orginized events that do or do NOT pay you $ to win. Like Import Wars or Nitrous Street Car BRAWL at GLD, SCCA Autocross, Slinger, Road America events, so on and so forth.

Im talking on the street, or maybe at a RSD event, or even meeting a person down at GLD for a Grudge race.

SHOW ME THE MONEY???????????:shades

BTW.......No street stories!!!! Otherwise this has to go NWS.

[Yooformula]

Did you want this in the NWS forum Dave?

[Slow Joe]

I can't read what he said, but the title seems inapproiate for the general chat...

[Grim_Reeper7.0]

No, I do not race for money on the street only in organized events such as CCS or AMA series events.

[nismodave]

Did you want this in the NWS forum Dave?

No I dont think so, I think people are smart enough to keep there street stories out of this.

[PureSound15]

There usually is no un-biased control factor in a public street race. That would be a no for me.



Edit: And my car is low... I would lose all of my money:rolf :rolf

You have way more faith in people than I have:goof

[Yooformula]

Btw Dave, Grover has the best look of all of the SS thugs.

[Grim_Reeper7.0]

I kinda like Cookie Monster with the Assault rifle.....

[DirtyMax]

Telly, or Elmo, or whoever the hell that red thing is with the gat is pretty intimidating also! :goof

ive never raced for money but i would if it came down to it.

[Cryptic]

I have a pretty good sense of whats faster than me. So I only would when I know the other car is slower. The game gets harder in 12 second cars and faster in my opinion.

I have never gambled on a car race though. When I race, its so I know where I stand against that car with those mods.

[Lash]

Why isn't there a "No...because my sh!t is too slow" option?


:D

[TURTLE]

i've done my share of slow street racin in the peon... only raced for cabbage a few times though... i guess if i had a quicker car, it'd be different and i'd want to race for bling more times out...

[Cryptic]

I wanna change my vote to this.

[nismodave]

I wanna change my vote to this.

:tomato

[pOrk]

Even if I had a fast car, you wouldn't catch me runnin it anywhere besides GLD. And Even then, I doubt I would race for bread.

[ProjectCamaro]

No I don't race for money.

[68RR440]

I raced for money before I got married and had kids, that was the last time I had any money ;)

[fireguyrick]

No need to race for money. Though, I suppose I would...sort of. I can see the loser buying the winner a burger or something, but nothing more then like $10. But then again, I just would race other cars for fun, win or lose, but ONLY at GLD.

Hey, Madison Dave, if you read this want to race for $5000 on the 16th? :goof:

[Rocket Power]

Nope.
My junk is slow and I don't have the extra bread:goof

[sloLs1]

I usually dont race for $, but I have

[Berettaspeed]

i have raced for money. but i found alot of people throw crazy amounts to hope the other person won't race because they know there will be a chance they might really lose. some people freak out about 20 bucks....*wink wink* lol

[Yooformula]

I have raced for gas but my sh it is slow now so you wont find me running anyone for gas, food or dare i say cash.

[Big Boost]

Just by chance, was this guy who wants to race for $5K happen to own a twin turbo viper?

[Berettaspeed]

thats the other thing its like they throw a price that will pay for their engine incase their dumbass blows it up... although i dunno who these "people" are we are talking about. LOL must be a ghost. a twin turbo viper sounds pretty cool though. i seen a video of a red(??) one online.

[HITMAN]

I would never street race. That would be illegal...;)

[nismodave]

Just by chance, was this guy who wants to race for $5K happen to own a twin turbo viper?

Yup.

[purpl72olds]

[Crawlin]

rsd's are cool cause you can even win some money side betting or throwing in when a buddy is racing. Made $500 one night down there with some of the chitown friends

See the problem is this. If I win, I want to take the money AND the respect. To some people, that is more important.:rolf
