Ha, I know Billy. I went to a few street races last year that he organized. He started <A HREF="http://www.torontostreetracing.com" TARGET=_blank>www.torontostreetracing.com</A> and is still affiliated with them.<P>He's actually a pretty decent guy.

Re: The GTA
I used to go on their forums all the time until they recently switched the boards to that horrible red colour scheme, very ugly.

Re: The GTA

Re: The GTA
At least the city of Toronto or whatever has cops that actually care to do something to take street racing off the streets, nothing like that going on here, cops and the city love the money made from tickets, so why stop it?

Sure a lot of times they'll just let you go but when they do want to give you a ticket they'll try to give you as many as possible for practically anything.

Re: The GTA
Durring our largest meet of the year a cop told us ue had to move from the same parking lot that was in that show, I didnt talk to the cop so I dont know what was said, but it was clear by the 16 MX-3's that we were not street racers and we were not causing any trouble with our parked cars.<P>He could have cut us some slack. <P>And all summer long not once did I see a cop get out and hang with us.<P>But I thaught the show was very realalistic <p>[ December 05, 2002: Message edited by: curtklze ]

Re: The GTA
The cops really don't harass us that much, unless some does something stupid. Actually we had a couple of cops here and there sit around and talk to us.

Re: The GTA
the cops here hate ricers so much.. theyve ruined all our nice cruising spots... damn hondas <P>my friend got pulled over for his exhaust being too loud .. and its really not loud at all.. cops are way strict here
Sold my 95 RS "Little Peanut" but she will never be forgotten.
Re: The GTA
Yeah, they do that here too, I got pulled over in my mx right in front of our meeting spot but was like the only person to be let go, I had my sidemarkers on with blue bulbs in them. The entire kent police dept. was down in the area monitoring everyones every move. How is that protecting and serving the rest of the city? Its more of a nuisance, no racing was going on, just people meeting up, cops just need to realize the difference between a cruise, and street racing. Stop the illegal activity, don't block us in for socializing.
