Birdeye "Street" Racing

[hammerhead2]

This is done at an agricultural airstrip that the owner rents to a local guy on sundays that organized the racing. Its arm drop racing and no times/clocks. Only two rules are the car must be driven into the track and you must run a DOT tire. Basically street racing but without the legal risk. Just thought I'd share

[hitnrun]

That's badass. Needs to be wider lol

Yeah it does really. It is wider than it looks in the vid though.

 

[stang8psi]

seemed cool and dangerous and stupid!

One of the first things I'd do if I ever won a lottery is build about a two mile stretch of "road" with three lanes and two sides to simulate street racing all without the risk. Small fees and a no responsibility waiver to clear me of anything that could happen.

I'd also build a mile dragstrip!

How much?, and how often does this happen?

Its every sunday as of right now. (this weekend was the third time) As long as the weather is nice they will continue to do it. Its 5 to watch and 10 to race.

Pretty narrow road there lol

Its really not as bad as it looks in the vid but is more narrow than a standard track. Wider than most two lane roads though.

 

[Jonesy98]

hmm i really dont think im that far from you guys. maybe when i get mine sorted the rest of the way ill come join in the fun

 

[lumbeeboi16]

This is badass we need something like that around here

 

[coposrv]

Not much room for error. Looks real fun though.

 

[Cobra03Mach1]

That's awesome!!!

 

[Teal Terminator]

Cool but too close for anything with any real power IMHO. Hell even the guy doing the arm drop has to watch out if someone gets squirrely coming out of the hole.

 

[BOOGIE MAN]

Keeping the dream alive. Love this kind of stuff.

 

[neatofrito1618]

Wow, looks like they're only about one fishtailed launch from side swiping each other.
