Best Buy parkinglot
 

anyone ever go to the sparks best buy on fri. and sat. nights to watch the guys that haven't learned their lesson street racing? i'm told they meet up. just wondered cuz i was thinking on going by there.. i guess there's upwards of 60 cars sometimes.. any subees?
not promoting illegal racing just was gonna check out some cars

Well posting about it here is a great first step in making sure you get busted by the cops the next time you're out there! (psst, there are cops that read the board)

Also, if there are any members going out to the street races, please feel free to scrape your seccs stickers off the car before you head out. (not that anyone has stickers these days)

i heard the cops are there all the time so won't make much diff>>

If you want to check out cars, come to autocrosses and track days. The cars are faster and our fun isn't illegal, so no worries there!

Jon, its the best buy out in reno and everyone usually shows up around 11 or so. and i go out there to bullshit and talk cars with friends. not to go street race. we dont do that stuff at all. its just a place to go and talk with other car guys.

and as far as the cops. were on their good side, at least the cops that i talk to, and if youre not out there street racing your fine!

ya im not into street racing nor getting my car impounded.. want to keep my good image.. so reno best buy huh, thanx for the heads up Andy! see ya there

Try not to catch a stray bullet.

Anything that starts at 11PM in a parking lot does not sound like a good or safe place to be.

6PM, sure, 11PM, not so much. :)

Safe is a state of mind. Man.

They do the same thing we do, only a few hours later and afterwards they street race instead of eat. People don't have to eat at Tamarack, people don't have to street race down there. BESIDES, they meet up at Best Buy, and go race somewhere else. Since when do we frown upon loitering? I'll get off your lawn old man.

It is kind of a guilt by association thing though. But if you aren't doing anything illegal (besides bullshitting cars in a parking lot...) fuck it.

Also, anyone who has been around here long enough to have a SECCS sticker, knows how we all feel about street racing.

I just get the feeling that if you've got 60 street racer cars in a parking lot at 11pm, you're going to be risking trouble with the law regardless of whether or not you go off to the street races afterwords. Never mind the BS that can go down w/ that set between the different "crews" and their egos.

It's significantly different than the 5 or 10 folks that show up at 6pm for friendly bullshitting and dinner at our meets.

I can say firsthand that people race around there (Meadowwood area) every fri and sat night..... especially in the summer with the windows open at night. Anyone around the area of the old Home Gardens and the new Moana leg can attest that after 12am people are out there redlining their hondas. Yay them and their eventual impound and license suspension. http://i545.photobucket.com/albums/h...fuzz100x85.gif

It's totally different than 10 guys standing around asking each other "I thought you were bringing the girls?" :lol:

Just kidding.

















...sorta:|

i hate those turds! maybe i will stay away.. u know someone would make bank if they opened a legal drag strip in town! i heard something about that but it's been years

RFR is only 30 minutes away... and they do grudge-match drags like every weekend, don't they?

Yeah I didn't see it that way! Quite a bit different in fact. Also, I left out the fact that only 10% of those guys are cool. Maybe 10...

Yup, when i go to my dad's over on rio poco off of mcceran, i can hear them EVERY god damn weekend while im laying in bed or watching tv. God damn honda's keeping me awake. They're loud as hell, but i have no clue where they are. But it's funny to hear them doing a race, then hearing sirens. haha :lol: It make's me laugh a little.

no offense to honda's. haha. only cuz i know andy has one.

ha i will hear one sound like its gonna break the land speed record and look over only to see a turd going at a snails pace:P

I hate it when they race down McCarran. I do like hearing the sirens that follow though.

they need to be yanked outa there car and shook!

I did go one night with my friend when I guess everyone used to meet at Circuit City. I met a few decent people there and then a group of us left to watch some people race I guess. Right as we left I guess someone pulled a gun and then the story was blurred from there. A group of people mainly consisting of civics went over on some side street from Double R and did started doing races. I watched one or two drags and decided to GTFO because they were so freaking loud there would be cops raining down instantly. We left and followed a few subies way the hell out in the sticks, almost to pyramid lake. There was a bunch of cars down a dark side road doing drags. It was OK but I was nervous the entire time.

^ for shame... :picard:

Wouldnt it be awesome if some bureaucrat would realize my dream of opening an American Autobahn between Reno and Vegas??? I would live somewhere in between, selling lizard jerky and bootleg starbucks coffee. I think mine gets up to 154mph..... but where the hell am I ever going to find out?

haha like 10 yrs ago when i had a 5.0 during hot aug. nights i went just off longley where there was like a hundred ricer's.. they didnt like me i guess an felt threated cuz a boulder came crashing through my rear hatch and some gutsy 90 pound jap dude came trying to smack me so i grabbed onto him as i drove off an gave him a little ride... i attribute it to guys that were from outa town for the car show but i guess it could be as bad on a normal night
