First night of "races" last night.
Well last night was the first little gathering since the weather has warmed up. There were about 50 cars at the local race spot. I didn't race because my clutch is slipping hardcore(BTW, how much should I spend on an ACT Stage 1 installed?)
My friend raced 4 cars in his '94 Prelude VTEC(AEM CAI, Thermal Exhaust, DC Header) Won 2 lost 2. First race was against a 98 GS-R. They went from a roll and the GS-R had half a car until 4th, when my friend pulled a half a car.
Next he raced a 99 Civic Si(body kit, rims, I/H/E, looked nice.) He put about 3 cars on it..pretty weak.
Then some kid raced him in a 98 BMW 328i. The BMW won by 1 1/2 cars.
Last race was against an SRT-4. This was a weird race...the SRT-4 only put about 2 cars on him? I figured he would get spanked a lot worse.
Anyway, towards the end of the night, some asshole yelled "COPS" so everyone dipped out...but there weren't any cops. Some kid in a Pontiac got hit and stepped out of his car, tore his shirt off, and was about to beat some ass, it was pretty wild.
Anyway, it was a fun 'opening' night of racing, and more stories to come once I get a new clutch and JRSC...

what kinda car do you have? btw, i haven't been too impressed with the srt-4's i've seen, although they're supposed to be fast. both of them that i raced i beat by 3+cars too 100mph from a 40ish mph roll.
street racing is getting old to me, cause the same old sh*t happens every time. cruising with a group of my friends down the interstate is a helluva lot more fun. just checkin out othercars, doin flybys and filming.
also, a clutch and install should run you probably $500-$600 from an average shop. the clutch and pressure plate will be about half that, and the other half for labor and refinishing your flywheel.

I drive a '94 GS-R.
The weather just warmed up and melted all the snow..it's still chilly outside but everyone is excited to race after such a long and sh*tty winter. There were no races on Saturday because the cops were allllll over the place.
