New in Town
 

Dear Everybody,

Come one, come all! My name's Ace. I'm new to Charleston and new on the site, figured it's bout time I took on all comers :twisted: I got the yellow 73 Camaro you've seen drivin around Summerville and Charleston every day. She's a daily, bitty cam, 3300 pound small block car, still on the stock converter. Problem is, I'm from VA, and my slicks are at home in the garage. So I'm lookin to race somebody on a comparable, hard sidewall, no traction tire like mine. My rears are BFGoodrich Radial T/A's, 275/60R15. 27 inches tall, 10.5 touching the ground. I don't need to know any more than your tire specs and we'll see what happens from there. No slicks, semi-slicks, or drag radials. Just tires not intended for racing. Could be some good money on this.

Good luck folks,
Ace

[Edit: On the street, not at the track.]

welcome

Thanks. You know of anybody who fits the description, or could bolt up some different tires and run with me?

yeah i know of another camaro that could prolley give ya something and play he just has drag radials and has no money for street tires his broke ass

You should put that money into tires so you can get gapped. Your game is boring.

Sounds like it could be somethin. Like the first post said, I'll run against pretty much anything, just on a tire that's shitty as mine. You know his username on here?

Sorry man. I aint got money or a garage right now to make any changes, just wanna see who'll run me like this.

slowgreen73. hes a bitch ass and his cars slow. PM him or jusr call him out thatd be easier. he might play

Sweet, thanks.

his name is muppet.

Welcome, where are you from in VA?

I'm from Chesapeake, just west of VA Beach and Norfolk. Very southeast corner of VA. Street race/grudge race scene in the area is tiny, and dominated by some fast ass diesels.

welcome

Funny stuff "All Comers" with a pile of stips.

I'm serious though. You got tires like mine, we'll run em. Just tryin to explain why I got such a off the wall request.

If you want someone who is running street tires on this board, you might want to check out clubracergt1 and run his slow as BONE STOCK 9 second 1/8th mile car. Thats the only one here with street tires like yours . Or maybe you can run some STOCK ASS full size tow pigs on this board.

Man, I can't joke around here and not get bit I guess. Look, I just wanna square off with somethin that's really tire limited like me. Where wheelspin is the issue with goin fast. Like I said, I'm not big power, and I don't have a converter in the car cause I'm that broke. I got a little money for gas and betting, that's it. I'll try my luck on the budget board, didn't know about it and so I posted here, which I now realize is out of my league.

I'm from Chesapeake too, I graduated from Indian River in 04'

Nice. My house is right close to Hickory High, in south Chesapeake.

:hysterical: I cant wait to see kevin's response to that

Yeah, I got stupid and trusted it.

My aunt and uncle live right down the road from St Brides prison. I can't wait to move back to the area, I miss that place

Weather's not quite as nice as here, but it's a pretty cool place. You ever go to Freedom Wash at Mt. Trashmore and see the street races there? Or the BP Station down near Elizabeth City?

Welcome. Don't mind the wise asses!!

+1. Good advice, and welcome to the site. Beware of the sandbaggers.

good advice

we lived in Newport News when they did the "mt trashmore is gonna blow UP"

lived up there 7 years.

welcome to the board.

are you Navy? you can bet your SRB, we can wait till your next installment to take it from you.

Hmm from what I hear the street racing scene is pretty big up in those parts. there are also a few performance shops in the area with some bad ass vehicles. Who are you trying to snowball?

You can't put tires on your car because you don't have a garage. what does it matter? Don't you have a jack? what are you going to do if you get a flat tire? let it sit because you don't have a garage. get real. I call BS run what ya brung and hope you brought enough. Unless you only want to run mopeds.

:hysterical: he said beware of the sandbaggers:hysterical: what here? no one sandbags on this site. everyone knows exactly what the other guy is running. geesh :cheers

How about this.. I'll take my car on drag radials and drive to Va to pick up yours then yank you like a dog on it's leash... Hell I've driven further than Va beach on these exact tires... In snow and rain.. Bet your street tires haven't done that...

By the way, welcome :D I was born up your way.. Though I don't remember anything about the area hahah

I didn't do any street racing, just bracket racing out at Hertford, NC.

Harry, looks like a race for the 280Z, it has regular street tires. I think on your last pass at Dorchester, didn't Andrew give you a calendar instead of a time slip.. Oh welcome to the board..:hysterical:

Ran into you at the track :bigthumb:

Thanks for the welcome. My college in Michigan runs a different schedule from most. 3 months at school, 3 at a work study. Keep switching back n forth for 5 years and get a degree, and my work study is with Bosch. I was never brave enough for the Armed Forces, haha.

The street race scene back home is nothin like this. Either that or I'm stupid. Maybe both. I'm impressed by what's here, and kinda sad there's not more slow cars like me.

Because of the whole college deal (see above), I live with a Bosch employee and my car gets parked in the street every night. If I get a flat, I'll either have it towed to a shop and probably buy some radials then, or if the money's bad, just let it sit and ride with the Bosch guy to work. I'm just a lowly 18 year old college kid, with a cobbled-together street car on a forum tryin to have a little fun. I respect "Run what ya brung," but I definitely didn't bring enough, or anticipate that the street race scene would be this serious down here. Hell, those mopeds might get me, seein how fast everything else is down here. Like I said, I wish I could be a contender, but I'm slow. Sorry man :?

They definitely haven't. You got a good versatile setup to do all that and still put down some good times. What kinda car do you have?

Welcome.

Based on all that you have said on here and talked about in person, you might wanna wait and run me at the track when you get some tires. It would actually be a close race then. If we run the race that you and I talked about at dorchester, you would be giving your money away. I've been in your shoes before and can relate to the broke college student situation. With that being said i'm going to be honest with you and suggest keeping your money and putting it into the car/school/something useful instead of my pocket.

But if you still wanna race it is up to you.

there i did my good deed for the week. :oops:

i've got a 99 camaro. pics should be posted somewhere on here. and don't worry about not having enough, everyone has to start somewhere! and a 73 camaro no matter how fast is a nice start. :D

i am so proud of you. i know that hurt but it was a good deed.

note to self. the world must be comming to an end. :hide:

i wish i had that starter car when i was 18.
