How about you read the terms of service that you agreed to when you created your account.
And judging by your grammar, I wouldn't think that you've even graduated elementary school.

It is a private web board that anyone is free to participate in as long as they follow the rules and don't p*ss off the admin. So far you've posted in the wrong section (no big deal,) implied that all the members of HAN street race (not a big deal but an annoyance, as HAN always has been anti-street racing) and now you're insulting admin (bad idea.)
Oh, and you're spelling and grammar sucks too.

1) I race (legally) because I like the challenge, the strategy, and to see what my latest round of modifications has accomplished. How else do you test your abilities to build and tune?
2) Legally. Bracket, heads up, roundy-round, it doesn't matter. I like it all.
3) What I do with MY life is my own business. It's not worth the risk to OTHER people's life. That's a trend I see in a lot of the "Street Racing" crowd. They're concerned only with themselves, the potential impact on other people is completely lost.
4) Don't do either one.
5) Like was said above, street racing "gatherings" are usually morons and talkers and attitudes and slow. I prefer real competition from real drivers in fast cars. You find those at the track.

Ok seriously, you don't need to say ppl or dats and mispell words, i just read your post about this "online chat" crap, and yeah it's fine when you use it for the heck of it, but you don't have to make EVERY post that way, at least when you can type That just as fast and easy as "dat" or ppl and people its all the same, why not use some proper grammar on a forum that is meant to be serious and not stupid? I got a headache from reading your writing... augh...

1. why do you race? Because it's more fun than setting ass hairs on fire running naked down main street.
2. do u prefer legal or illegal racing? why? I don't race on the streets persay, although if the road is open and someone feels froggy I jump, but I always stay within my known boundries, but it is still taking a chance. I like to take my cars to the strip because of the commoradary and fun. I like to take my bike to the track(laguna preferably) because it's the only time I can truely crank the go knob and not worry about someone pulling in front of me and killing me, although a squid laying it down in front of you is pretty hairy. The thrill is coming out of 8a with your nose in the air trying to get ahead of the squid on the bruiser before you hit rainey bend, then a few corners later hitting 140+ coming under the overpass is will give you a hardon.
3. is it worth a ticket or ur life? why? A ticket? not really, but it's not the end of the world if i do get one. I've managed to keep my tickets spaced far enough apart that I've only ever had 1 that I couldn't take the class for. Killing someone is unacceptable if I can help it, that's why I try to stay as safe as I can on the road. On the track, no tickets, and if I die, I die happy. My gear cost almost as much as my bike in an effort to avoid that though(I wear a customized Erbo ProFutura with every option(ran me almost $3k), back guard, helimot daytona security boots(with carbon fiber shell to keep from snapping your ankle), arai rx7 lid, and TiMax gloves(With titanium external plates and wrist beam)
4. wen u go night racing, is it actually a race or messing with cops heads? why? When I am actually racing, I'm usually intent on proving something to myself(Which is why the track is Soooooo fun). Doing something to mess with cops is plain stupid(and folks wonder why cops are arseholes)
5. additional comments Overall I'd say street racing is just stupid. 99% of the twerps doing it are so worried about being cool, they don't stop to think what would happen if they hit someone. I had a recent experience with some punk that I didn't know I was racing, I was just trying to get on the highway and be up to speed. I finally got in the middle lane and had long let off the gas and I hear a heard of bumble bees pass me. he cuts in front of me, cuts the guy off in the lane next to me, then proceeds to weave in and out of traffic during rush hour in San Jose. THAT IS IDIOTIC, If you or someone you know pulls that crap, you need serious help. Now I can't say I'm always safe, I do kick it up a notch once in a while on the street(try to keep up with me when I'm on my bike heading up to Alice's), but I'm always aware of my surroundings and try to be as careful as possible.

serious trying to read tha crap is like reading my own handwriting. i used to be pre street but now i think its plain stupid. going fast in a line, whoop-dee-d00.
i might get into autocross, but hitting the turnies require much shifting and skillz. launching also requires skillz but wutever.
