Tide Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Starting today we'll be no longer allowing kill stories that do not occur on either a drag strip or race track. We all know street racing is illegal, and it's discussion here can have legal repercussions for the poster and myself as well. I have previously in the past been subpeona'd for member activity on another website I used to run. It's something I'd rather not go through again. Also I'd like to point out that posting and bragging about your kill can also be used as evidence against you in a court of law (and has, as I've read on other forums). Cheers,Tide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gargleblaster Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Far be it from me to question your motives and actions - it's your site and you obviously have the right to run it as you see fit. And understandably so when it comes to illegal and dangerous activities such as street racing where you can get dragged into criminal and/or civil lawsuits. Regarding the recent stepping up of code enforcement in California, would it not also be prudent to limit posting of modifications to vehicle exhaust systems? These modifications are in violation of Federal laws, and the authorities in California have made it clear that they are going to be aggressive in enforcement of these laws, mainly as a way of stifling the street racing problem. Using their interesting chain of logic, engine modifications = street racer = fines and/or jail time. Following the same course of thought that has brought you to ban street racing topics, could you not one day be asked to provide IP addresses for anyone who has posted about exhaust mods? Something to think about... Founder - The Harry F. Johnson Memorial Fund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDxBOOST Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 couldnt you make a disclaimer in a kills only forum? like...all information herewithin is purely fictional. any member who claims otherwise is lying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2.5GTurbo Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Will you be deleting all previous postings related to this subject to inhibit the use of this private information? This action will also prevent us from making new replies to old kill stories. The "killing" of this information will help keep you from being subpeona'd over any person's actions on this website. Another thing to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subastew Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I guess the street racing posts were getting a little excessive anyway and far fetched at times. Not that I would be able to post anything, because I'm still stock. Next time I race a tricycle at the track, I'll be sure to post the results. Seriously though, "motorsports" would be the thread to post track stuff at now right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melayout Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Tide, can you be more specific as to what constitutes as a kill story/street racing. I consider: - lining up at a light- reving at or getting reved at- launching when it turns green street racing but I don't consider: - light turns green- I take off easy- someone in the far right lane comes barrelling down- I decide to match his speed to see how fast I'm street racing. So what is it? I keed I keeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-lo Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Perhaps we should come up with another word other than "kill":rolleyes: and maybe we could refer to them as foot chases. oh well, that's too bad, but completely understand. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADirtyLegacy Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 so much for fun. but then again if people are looking here for legal action, so much for the "sleeper" affect of the car. they know what to look out for now! Kenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Unrelated subject. It's legal in most states to modify your vehicle and its legal everywhere to modify it for off road use. Please stick to the topic posted. Let's not talk about modding our vehicles either, it can cause them to travel @ high speeds. Therefore breaking laws & endangering other people..... Do you all see where this is going? It's a shame:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurenai Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 i'll miss reading the kill stories -- some were informative, and most were entertaining. but it's not the only forum i come to this site for. that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Take a look at the forum right now....not much interesting is there? Tide it is a totally related subject.....I know I take mine off road every day! Any way this is like p*ssing into a tornado it's going no-where.........I'M OUT:( Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!!

PGT Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Guys.....the number of threads about street racing was getting out of control. Besides, It's dumb to document that you are breaking the law, period. Given that the owner of this board doesn't want to get called into court only for your enjoyment, I don't think it's that bid a deal. A rule about street racing threads (or lack thereof) is pretty standard on most auto forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 "off road" means taking it off public roads. What you do in your driveway is your business. What you do on unmarked trails in the wilderness is your business too. What you do on the track is a little regulated, but nothing like the street. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .
