You don't have to endorse street racing by making this forum (in fact, I don't street race), BUT they're are many who race and have fairly entertaining stories out there...After all, isn't entertainment a partial reason for sites like this....

Cmon Son!
Thats a tough area to police it would seem. Thats based on thinking that we have quite a young crowd here. I understand where you are coming from though. That section could get ugly real fast is all im saying...

Sorry, RCMCFE, we at 'Driver pride ourselves in not condoning anything about street racing, and have the support of most of our members who feel that it's an unsafe practice that they don't want to read about.
Sorry, but you'll have to satisfy that need elsewhere...
Thanks for understanding.
Colin.
English dude, English
I agree Colin, but why then does my350z condone it? I mean after all its run by the same person. So why the double standards?
In no way do I condone racing but it is an obvious question that I think needs to be answered. What do you think?

YES! I second that. And to think that everywhere on that site it says disrespectful members will be banned, yet when someone starts being harrassed by members, they give the person being harrassed the boot! WTF is that!? I PM'd Kyle about it and received no response. VERY LAME AND DISRESPECTFUL IN ITS OWN RIGHT.Originally Posted by Skyline_G35

I do not condone street racing, but i think it is complete HORSE **** that there are double standards and hypocritical (moderators on my350z). Thank god that we have good moderators like Colin on our site.

^ careful using my350z as ammo. we might end up ruining it for those guys. no need to sink their ship while trying to sail ours.
Just say WHY you believe a 'Kill Section' would beneficial.
Street racing is a very sore subject. People do it whether we condone or not. As for kids... that is why they have parents. WTF is a teenager doing with a G35 anyways? Secondly G35's are not the ideal racers and kids out there aren't buying them to try to beat people. Most people who buy G's I would be willing to guess have a pretty good head on their shoulders.
If it's a liability issue then why not just have people talk about the race and not about location and scene.

Just cuz we have a thread about 'street racing' doesn't mean we're 'condoning' it. There are already random threads about "A vs. B" stories with details and outcomes.

I disagree. If we are creating an area for someone to be able to come in and brag about a win or cry over a loss, we are in a way condoning it. I am not one of those "street racers should be shot" people - I know it is irresponsible and dangerous but may have launched off the line a couple times myself. Theres a time and a place. The G is supposed to be more refined than the Z, aimed at a more mature audience. To me that is why a section about racing is fine on my350, but I would like to think the crowd on driver has a little more intelligent conversations to hold.Originally Posted by G05C

I don't think it is a good idea to have a kill section. We do have a Motorsport section where you can post about Drag racing, Autocross, or drifting. The performance car enthusiast is in the limelight enough now with some members of the public giving us bad publicity because of souped up and performance cars, let alone the safety aspect of street racing.
geez...
I just suggested the idea b'c I thought it would be interesting to read (isn't that the point of a forum). Something new, besides a 100th thread on the wonders of Zaino. Creating on would not cause people to go out and race. Thats about as ridiculous as saying violent video games causes kids to kill people...
That said, sorry I brought up the subject...I like g35driver.com just fine and it was only a suggestion.

My350z and G35Driver are 2 different sites. Yes I run it but I do not own it and some of the things were there before I started running it. Originally Posted by filanj

I will not create a kill forum here and I have my reasons behind it, the streetracing forum on my350z was already there when I took over.
BTW, I get a ton of emails,pms that I cannot respond to, Although I would love to respond to all of them I can not.
