Dude that's the illess yo.

Libila · 2006-08-25, 08:11 AM

Haha! That was so awesome. I miss making painter's tape art with you two.

I ended up talking to a bunch of the New Era guys for an hour or so once. They were all really nice, I think they are just a little clueless as to what should and shouldn't be done to a car and the appropriate avenues to race.

My question is, how do we introduce appropriate avenues of racing to them? I suspect there's no coolness to be found in autox, track days and such, whereas street racing is thrilling and dangerous and earns them the respect of their peers. It's too bad though, when things like this happen.

17 y/o, what a freaking shame. My son John was telling me he went over to Circuit City last week, where some New Era guys were, among others, running in a street race until everyone was told to leave - quick. He had heard 2 racers got in an accident when a 3rd driver from a side street ran a redlight, and ran into them. It sounds like the same incident.

It's been tried, and they look at you with a hazy eyed, open mouthed, deer in headlights stare... "you mean, race LEGALLY? Why?"

I've gotten nothing but negativity from those guys, no matter how you try to approach them. Then it turns ugly quickly, as I don't take well to insults, and I can be a bit of an asshole...

Yeah, screw those idiots. They are obviously insecure and clueless, and I'm sure that's what brings on insults easily. I suggest blunt objects.

MPREZIV · 2006-08-25, 02:22 PM

And don't get me wrong, I'm sure I haven't personally come across all of the members of their "club", but the ones I've met did not leave an impression of someone I'd want anywhere that I spend any of my time...

There could be some decent folks (with bad habits) in their group, but I'VE never met them.

Well I don't really care if they are good people or not. I have only seen how some of them drive and act when they are driving. I'm sure if I had SECCS stickers all over my car and I drove like a moron people would get a bad impression of our group, not me as a person. So they might be good peoples but their retarded driving behavior (I have seen enough to get a bad impression) makes me weary of their "club" or meeting the people in it.

EXACTLY!

I know Andy (red wrx) hangs out with those guys, and he swears to me they are trying to change their image, but we all know how it is. In fact, a few of them were at autocross earlier this year, I thought they might try it out, but I think they like drag racing better.

They treated it like a party.

Does Andy have a bugeye? If so, he came to a party at my house a few months ago. He was a cool guy.

Bob Danger · 2006-08-25, 06:57 PM

Andy's not a bad guy, I know he hangs out with them, but at least he's not hardcore street racer.

My real question is, why is there a 2 page thread going on about some asshat street racng crew?

MOST street racers are asshats, not just this New Era crew, I can't go out after 9pm without having some Yetti rev on me every fifteen minutes.

Duckie · 2006-08-25, 07:42 PM

New era are not street racers for your information. In fact their club frowns on it just like this one. They are more about show and when they do race they keep it to the track.

From the information I got from this post and from what I've seen first hand, they are a street racing crew

You must not have been reading this thread. Or your just being silly.

It's because of your n00b forum settings

They told me they were interested in auto-x and track days, but it's easy to say that. I dunno they were all really friendly with me, maybe you guys are just too uppity fucking WRX owners.

murphy · 2006-08-26, 07:26 PM

They can say that they are intrested in auto cross and track days all they want but the overall douchebaggery they display in the street tells me otherwise
