Boy Racers!! Feedup or not

Also known as Midnight Racing Club or something every friday/sat night they meet at Cambridge Terrace around from Courtney Place and at about 11:30pm
Are they causing Havoc on the streets of wellington or are the police just taking advantage of their power they have??

What ever happend to that Venue that was going to be built for them?

My point of view i reakon the police are just wasting their time and money and can be well spent somewhere else.

go the racers i say!!

yeah happen to agree with ya.. we had a similar sitch in Auck few years ago. they got promised a venue as well.... it never happened. i used to join them , and had an absolute ball in the process!

hopefully it never dies no matter where you are!!

These guys are useless wasters and I can say this because I was one..... A guy that used to a good close friend is the guy that started Midnight Racers and now has gone all odd and will only talk to me when he wants something. These guys all say that they're not racers but an organised group of friends who hang out together but when in reality they're just looking for the best place to race and not get caught.
The police should get a little harder on these fuckwits as they're getting a little to out of control.
I remember the good old days when we sat on Courtney Place cranking the sounds talking now its all about whos car is the wankiest/coolest!!

Fuck that and fuck the whole group thing.

What an utter waste of time now that I think about it.

Just my little bit anyways

Yeah dude, I flirted with the scene a while ago, and decided it was populated by too many idiots for my liking. Some of them were cool, and liked the sounds and learning abouts the engines and the mods and the affects on various aspects of performance, but the rest were just of the "*grunt* Man you should put a turbo on that thing dood." variety, with no ability to think.

Then again, I respect their right to drive around and stuff, as long as they're not injuring other people or making a pest of themselves. it's not the social scene /I/ choose, but if they like doing that then that's okay, so long as it doesn't affect the general public too badly. It's a bit of a difficult one. You're not going to get rid of them, so what can you do?

Will offering better facilities for them to race (e.g. organised drags) helkp? Or do the hoon racers (opposed to the 'cruisers') just thrive on the illegality? I'm not sure really.

ha ha ha! The Midnight Mummy's Boys!

Spoilt kids with cars too fast for thier skill levels, for the most part.

That's my humble opinion anyway.

kick 'em well off C/K Terrace I reckon. It's bloody dicey crossing that road on a Friday night, I've had a few near misses coming to/from home, and we who live in Mt Vic just find it bloody pointless, stupid, noisy and annoying. Signed, Concerned Resident.

Heheh, nice place to live RedDeluxe. Maybe look before crossing? *grin* Or use a pedestrian crossing?

Just kidding. The cops patrol C/K Terraces pretty well I thought. Racing there seems kinda silly. I've seen em parked around the Basin on the side road bits as well, ready to nab the dudes going sideways around there. Stupid place to race when there's people around though.

TWO WORDS

PLAYED
OUT


grow up this shit is passe

did anyone see the Havoc show on "boys that have cars that go wsshhh and the women that love them"? it was bloody funny.
Another thing I find strange is the allure of the KFC carpark for these young scallywags. It's not that glam people, let's move along there...

Hehehe, I saw that - "BOV sluts" as I call them. The allure of the KFC carpark is that it's right in the middle of the racing strip, and right by the main set of lights for draggin'.

Boy racers are wankers who do fucking pointless shit! Lets see what they do; Fill up on gas and drive aroud the same block about 20 fucking times, whats the point there, spend copious amounts of money tryna have the fastest, loudest car.
Among other shit.

These guys are cockboys and are attention seeking gits.

Maybe they think /you/ are stupid for spending copious amounts of money on drugs and clubs, listening to "repetitive music", trying to dance like an idiot longer and harder than everyone else?

I'm sure that's what the less open-minded boyracers say about you and me.

Come on man, be a bit more open-minded here. No need to bag someone completely just because it's not something /you/ personally enjoy doing.

On the cops patrolling C/K terraces: Yeah, that
rocks. they sit outside my building & I just love
that. Makes me feel reeeeaaaal safe.

Hahaha, I'll bet you love it. Random body cavity searches and all. Ermmm...

I think that often the boy racers are listening to more or less the same "repetitive music" aren't they? and probably doing a lot of similar drugs too =)

Talking about cavity searches, I got pulled up at customs on my way into Sydney this time, first time I've ever been pulled up. No cavity search thou so I didn't really get my moneys worth.

Back to boy racers: whateva. But some of those guys are just tragic, when they've got some shithouse clapped out rusting 1981 toyota with more rust than steel, alloy wheels worth twice as much as the car, an exhaust you could lose a bus in, and a stereo worth 10% of our GDP for example.

Seriously, I wonder if they know how stupid they look?

Hey jeffthechef, do you think LEUVEN is an utter waste of time?!
Man, you're turning into the hell hypocrite! you call boyracing a waste of time, and yet we don't see you complaining when you're cruising @ 229km/h along the motorway or racing around town every sunday afternoon in the LEUVEN!

I think that alot of you ppl are stereotyping boyracers. Did it ever occur that maybe some boyracers have these Mint cars not to show off to there mates but more for the personal enjoyment, the enjoyment of spending alot of time and money on and having something to show for it. It's not an easy thing, so shouldn't they get some respect?

And anyway, If they enjoy having wicked as phat performance cars to cruise around in... who cares?

"each to there own"

P.S. Jeff. the nforca is having fun being who he is, so good for him. you have your substances and your hanging out at dance parties, he has his evo and his hanging out with other boyracers. what's the difference?

Nice one darr[e]n

hate em. waste of space, waste of gas, too many egos. and especially don't like the param dickheads that come to wgtn every weekend just to drive round!!!! it's so OVER!

It was cool back when every one had 8's,
escorts, DX's and rotangs.... I don't know about
all this new-fangles elecronic whizz-pop
businesss...... *reatreats to her corner,
muttering & grumbling*

Nice to see some opinions on here for once

Ohh rotangs. I'm no boy racer, but lately I've been having dreams about welding a roll cage into a Series2 RX7 and rallying the thing.

Oh yeah...

Haha, I despise rotangs now. Nice engine technology in theory, but I don't like the kind of cars they've been implemented in. Too many loud, ugly, rusted RX7s lying around. :-/ The concept seems to have been abandoned apart from the RX7s it seems...? Anyone know why? Fuel efficiency? Emissions?

The problem with Rotangs (at least in past) was that to maintain a seal between the tips of the rotor and the combustion chamber, they needed to keep a film of oil on the tips of the rotor. This is bled from the inside through small holes in the tips I think. Course the oil gets burned off and has to be replaced, so can be expensive to operate and no good for emissions either. A lot of rotarys exhaust smells like a 2 stroke because of it.

Also, because they fire twice as many times through 360 degrees as an inline 4, they use a shitload more petrol, espically in city traffic. Finally, if you flood them (not so easy with the injected ones but aparantly still possible) they're next to impossible to start cause the fuel in the engine washes away the oil seal around the tips of the rotor and hence no compression. Often all you can do is pull the plugs out and wait a few hours for it to evaporate.

Still, a revolutionary engine in every respect, if you ask me I've heard that mazda have trialed hydrogen powered rotarys, so mabey they have a future...?

Yeah, that's the technical explanation for what I thought was the case. So how do you think they are combating the issues with the hydrogen rotaries then, especially in terms of compression. Hydrogen + oil doesn't sound that nice a combination.

ACTUALLY!! I changed my mind now!
fuck im pretty fucked off with them aye, like every friday saturday night, i'd be sitting at home but thats only sometimes guys. LOL then id hear this BRMMMMM PSHHHHHH, and it just fucks me off how they dont have respect for people who are trying to have a quite one after a hard night of dancing like a wild monkey.

And what pisses me off its the same fucken guy that drives down the Street in his Red EVO2, hes a blonde guy if you guys wanna knock him out too!

Sometimes I just feel like running out of my house cause i can hear him coming and stand in the road so he'l stop, he'l get out and say what the fuck are you doin, and ill be like "Whack" and his mates too plus his lil Tenny Bopping friends!!

oh ok im calm now
