Pictures of street cars blasting off

[BeetleBug]

Its simple. A street car sees more STREET time than TRACK time. Hope to get some pics of my car blasting off soon.

Ok,I will bite,so say on average I do 70 passes a year,average ET of 10.50 so by your theory I need to only drive my car 70x10.5=735 seconds or 12.25 minutes so only counting the cruise in las vegas this year I managed 2 times that so mine is a genuine street car,excellent

cheers richie,uk

What you`re saying is that the return lane is not considered a track?

haha, bunch of jokers I did not mean an actual measurement of time, but usage. Errands, commute to work, nice summer day drive, etc. Richie I know yours is a street car because you had bumpers on it when you were stateside.

... so only counting the cruise in las vegas this year I managed 2 times that so mine is a genuine street car ...

Yeah but that's only because you and Lauffer went to the back of beyond for some street racing got lost.

My first redlight!

For me it's more like sneaking off not blasting off.  Check out the helmet...

Seems I must wait to make sure it's really green, maybe a second or so.....  LOL!

[Peter Shattock]

Surely if its street legal it’s a street car and I’m not sure why people get all hot under the collar about it. 

For me there are loads of great cars pictured here, some more street-able than others, but you can bet the faster the car the more compromised it is on the street, but that’s just the owners choice, and I for one am glad we have both.

So the only real question is what compromises are you going to make?

Just for the record, Gary Bergs 67! I can’t believe it took so long for it to appear on this thread. The first of the ultimate has everything Cal-look street cars? Now that could start an argument!

Sorry for the lack of picture but mine is up there somewhere already, with slicks and a stinger and no sign of a fan belt but rest assured it’s a street car!

Why havent I seen any pictures of Jimmy Roth's 67 from years ago? That car was tough as nails and he drove it like a bat out of hell. Now anyone that can drive a beast like that and drive off of instinct not sounds, is truly worthy of this thread. and i know he drove it!

My first redlight!

Had to leave early to get the jump on that Camaro?

I discovered at the end of the track I had kept the E-brake on to make it fair.....

Yep, and it did that in front of me. I was so slow I could actually read his time (15.4) and tell the guy afterwards...

[Lee.C]

don't quote me on this but I think its a 2276 on 44's  I think its more down to the driver though - he really give that van some stick Lee the owner of the high Top also helped me eject the "Local" from my tent at EBI2
