Well you can shift from the big D to 3 or 2 sometimes

 

or you can double pump the gas pedal and itll downshift for yah lol

 

Hmm, people still race there?!? I remember the racing there since I was 18... And that was a looooong time ago.

 

M500!!!!! Wtfomgbbq

 

someone posted a comment on that mercury news page saying they should open a sanctioned track/strip there at the fairgrounds.
Not a bad idea unless you plan on driving your personal/race vehicle to and from cuz then theyd get a lot of cop attention.
They do need SOME sort of strip around here tho. Closest is...Sacramento? i forgot

 

Infineon Raceway, Weds night drags

 

SJ is just killing it for car enthusiasts. I have a pucker factor of 10 anytime I'm driving anywhere near that place.

 

Oh ya I heard the whole thing go down. Was outside smoking a cig was around 2 hella sirens and heard cars making a run for it then a cruiser jammed past my house

 

Ya it's nothing like it use to be though. It died down when I was like 17 or so

 

thats right, you do live right by there

 

Yep

 

Go ahead and tell us about your shenanigans, spectator point of view that is. Not participant, because the internet does not condone street racing...just sex, drugs, & paris hilton.

 

isnt that the same thing?

 

booo on street racing!!!!! Some vet tried messing with me last night and I just laughed. Its not worth it with the ticket and fines that you get are stupid. when will people learn

 

Jeez that place is still popping? Old Habits die hard....way back in the day there used to be crazy crowds and so forth. Tough luck for the ones that got caught. But all honesty, street racing is NOT the way to go. It can cost lives, jail time and a fat load of dead presidents that could have been used to build a motor or that new turbo upgrade you've always wanted.
