Oh God here goes another one! Yes Eddy needs to have an intro. But also I don't agree with being reckless. I dont care if you think they should not have there kid there or whatever other stupid arguement you may have. Murphy's law people. But yes this stuff happens everywhere and at every show and yes goldchainer shows too! Actually this reminds me of a show a couple years ago. All these guys with there small blocks chevys(because thats all they know how to work on) were doing burnouts going out the parking lot. One of the guys hollered at me and said "Roast em" or something of that sort. I replied "I don't need to prove myself, i have a big block" You should have seen the look on there faces! That was better then any response given to the burnouts, LOL
[ QUOTE ] So when did doing burn-outs in a parking lot, and drag racing in a PARKING LOT, stop being POSING? If your car's fast you know it without getting squirly in a crowd of people. Standing burnouts hurt no one. But drag racing in a parking lot is gay. I actually can't think of anything gayer at the moment. That's the ultimate Greaser kit, cuffed jean, pompadorable, posuer LOOK-AT-ME kinda gayness. [/ QUOTE ] Drag racing in a parking lot is not GAY!!!! Losing a drag race in a parking lot is gay! HC
[ QUOTE ] I couldnt see him behind my truck due to lack of a flag or some sort of safety device. [/ QUOTE ] Sorry man...couldn't resist (zman - excuse me for poaching your photo)
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] As a car enthusiast and observer [/ QUOTE ] Eddy, you miss the point of hotroding entirely. An enthusiast is a person who buys a vehicle and enjoys it occasioaly and an observer is one who stands on the sidelines and does not participate. Given this discription of yourself I am quite sure you do not understand what is truly going on here. We are not merely "enthusiasts or observers," we are acivists and hotrodders. We participate by doing and enjoying. [/ QUOTE ] ElP, I was looking for a way to say what you just did. I think you nailed it. (Pun intended...)
I'd like to know how exactly this person knew where to find this board and know elpolacko was here? Things that make you go hmmmm. later plmczy
OK, so if someone drag racing in the parking lot crashes into my car, messes it up bad, and I can't drive it home. So I have to trailer it. Is that gay? HA HA HA (could resist the post were getting to close together)

[ QUOTE ] That is precisely why this show is fun... Dad can take his daughter to a boring gold chainer street rod show next time where he'll be safe cuz the only burnouts at those showe are when a car slips as it is being loaded onto its trailer. Eddy... go away. Pussy. [/ QUOTE ] Well said. I second. The guys racing down the rows of cars last year were a highlight. Yeah, my car wasn't in that row, but I really found it refreshing in a culture that's giving me less credit for being able to look out for myself while expecting me to fit into some other person's idea of what a reasonable risk is. Eventually, someone is going to think our whole pasttime is an unreasonable risk. Let's hope that person ain't makin' the rules at the time. If you wanna be safe, go to an event that has nazi staff. If you wanna be nazi staff free, watch your back. -jf
Hey, I grew up in Detroit. It's a really cool city with lots of fun things to do and see. But there's places you shouldn't be at when the street lights come on... If you think its dangerous, don't go, Dork. Highlights from past shows: 1st or 2nd year of the car show: Some idiot doing a burnout, lost control and slammed head on into a wall. The next year we were up in the lot on saturday night and heard (and felt) a dull thud. We looked over to see some dude getting off the ground from doing a faceplant against the retaining wall while taking a piss. His buddies dragged him away, bleeding from the forehead ("Oh, don't worry he does this all the time.) The same night. Guy in 60's muscle car gets goaded, by my fiend calling him "pussy", into hitting his line lock and doing a 1-2 minute burnout covering the entire Gold Coast in smoke. year before last: 2 chicks in "rat rods" are chasing each other all over the 2 levels of the old garage and nearly lose it several times. This year actually seemed kinda tame...
Put up or shut up. Let's see pics of ElPolacko's burnout. His truck is bad ass and I need a new desktop image for my computer...
"Highlights from past shows: 1st or 2nd year of the car show: Some idiot doing a burnout, lost control and slammed head on into a wall" That "idiot", who happens to be a good friend of mine, didn't lose control, his rear radius rods broke sending his bitchin '32 5 window into the wall, we raised about $500 to get him towed back to So Cal that weekend... Oh yeah, his name is Axle
I have no problems with the burn outs and racing around, these cars were built to run. What I have a problem with is people dropping their air bags and intentionaly dragging their frames and bumpers on the concrete. The physical damage they cause is going to piss off the Gold Coast after a while, and not allow the car show to continue. If you can run it low, run it low... just don't fuck up the parking garage, that is just fucking ignorant. I know, I know, the burn outs leave black tire marks every where, but they don't physically damage the concrete. Go fuck up the city streets, that is what taxes are for. Geno
WOW, so my speeding tickets and such are paying for YOUR burnouts? go "FUCK UP" yur OWN city streets, and let YOUR taxes pay for THAT bullshit... I DON'T want MY taxes paying for YOUR stupidity! My taxes are to clean up my commute on the way to work, and clean up the POTHOLES on my street, NOT your BULLSHIT!
Waaaaaaaaa, Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ! God, is this all you can do on here anymore! FUCK OFF !
do these activites both the club putting it on? Sounds like a fun time was had by many, I think I will try to get there next year...
