Bay Area Racers

[TurboMan]

I was at the runs last night in my boy's AWD Talon lookin for some action. We pulled up to Junction (Yay Erea pepes know where that is) and what did i see!? Yup you guessed it, a titanium MSP just like mine parked at the side of the road. Is anyone on the board this person?

 

[Roywhitep5]

junction??

we had a meet tonight dude, you need to check the hwy 9 fun run thread cuz we meet all the time

****, I didn't know people still raced out there. I got caught in a 100 car bust there when I had my Supra, and was sitting next to this nice ass silver r33 Skyline for about an hour. I didn't get busted though, since the cops felt bad that i sat in my car for 5 hours, and I had to take a huge leak.

So where in the bay are are the runs now? I just used to go out to First Street, Junction, Ringwood, and Great America. But that was about 3 years ago. Maybe I'll meet the titanium MSPs out there.

 

[jonnydoe48]

heh, great america. in the parking lot or something?

 

[Bhamsan]

It was the street right across from PGA, but you could see the rides and everything from there, so we just called it Great America.

The runs are back in milpitas at all the same places... Trade Zone, Junction, Ringwood, N. 1st... all that good stuff. Friday and Saturday Nights.

I bowl league on friday nights, and usually a tourney on sat night. Have to get out there some time. Got stuck in the middle of about 3 or 4 mr2's that looked like they wanted to go on 880 around the 237 exit, but now way could I touch them. They looked and sounded mean. Besides, my wife and about 100lbs in bowling balls wouldn't help either. BTW, what goes on during a run? You guys hang out for a while and then go tear up the town, or what?

if it had a putnam plate on the back it was me, stayed out for like 3 hours lookin for some action, too many cops.
first time posting btw.

 

[jonnydoe48]

You Bowl? I had been avid bowler since I was 12 and haven't been in a league for a couple of years as our bowling alley in morgan hill shut down. Where at, what league (scratch or what handicap, and you got a spot for me?) Would be cool to hang with another MSP owner. When I stopped I was right around a 200 average and could probably be back up there in no time

Let me know.

If you're there, whether you're racing, watching, masturbating in your back seat, or whatever, they'll bust you. Most of the time they drive in with the sirens going, people start yelling, honking their horns, and crapping in their pants, abd everyone drives off and the cops just make sure you leave. At least thats how it was 3 years ago. before that, we never worried about the cops. We'd just go out and keep on racing until we got too tiredand decided to go home.

My buddy got his lisence suspended for a year for just WATCHING illegal races in Milpitas. You don't want to mess around with the South Bay Po Po.

[BadBandar]

oh man thats tru. the cops will pull anyone over nowadays. A year ago i never got pulled over. ANd now its like u break the speed limit you see lights. But ive had some real bad experinces with cops. hehe.

I too have'nt been back to Junction and 1st street for like 2 years . That was the spot back in the days . I saw some of the fastest import cars there .Supras and Rx7s for days and an occasional R32 and R33 Skyline racing some of the fastest American Muscle cars , like me in my 10 sec. 63' chevy Nova which I never lost in might I add. Another hot spot was Bailey rd. off of Montery rd. Street racing has changed over the years 6 -7 years ago cops did'nt care that much . Fast cars were'nt as common as they are now and were'nt as dangerous . Import cars were nothing more then noise makers . If you had a Honda with Cams and Headers you were the $hit and if you used N.O.S. you were a cheater !! My cousin raced at the very first "Battle of the Imports" in his N.O.S. powerd Integra and came in third only looseing to a Supra and an MR2 . He was titled with the fastest Acura in the U.S. Runing a 12.3 in the 1320 my how times have changed .

threadjack on, sorry.
jrodhotrod- I bowl thursday nights at paloalto bowl and friday's at cloverleaf in Fremont. Both scratch leagues. We should definately hook up on a scratch league next winter. I usually need a solid 200 and below to meet average cap, cuz I book pretty high. If you have an adult book average for ateast one season let me know. We can make some money together. I only bowl leagues that have good pots and side action going on. Email me if you have any other questions.
Threadjack off, sorry. It was dying anyways

 

[ND4MSP]

that would be funny having two yellow speeds parked side by side at a bowl. Folks would be like wtf???? I've only seen that car one other time before, and now two at the same time, haha
