Its so juvinile. And premotes the lawlessness of the youth of today :D

I don't think he's talking about street-racing. I hope not, anyways.

Yeah, Road course racing, or Tarmac racing or something, or better yet, road track racing.




Actually, those names all sorta suck. ;)

?

Not to start somthing or to condone it but, what is wrong with street racing?

people not in the race can get killed or hurt.

I know if some one ever killed a loved one of mine from street racing i would probly be in jail.:D

I raced a road once, it beat me.

Why not "Circuit Racing" or "Street Performance" as a thread name?

Street Performance would be 10x worse... Road Racing is fine, everyone knows what is meant by it.

I disagree I think it means road racing :) I.e. to people two cars some dough and a black top!!! :D

How about Track Events since it actually sounds like a legal, sanctioned road race event. Not some kid trying to prove something on a public road.

Much better, Or even Track Racing

Track Events sounds good to me

Track Events is good! Excuse my suggestions hehe... "Circuit Racing" is a bit too JDM, and Lord knows what I was thinking about when I put "Street Performance" :D

Here's what the forum thinks of you. :monkey:

He was refering to track days, such as racing at a Race Track . . . n00b.

track days are'nt racing at the track... n00b...

and yes, I believe he means road racing as in paved raceways such as Leguna Seca, Summit Point, and Watkins Glen....

I hate the title ROAD RACING!

how about looking up a term so you know what you are talking about before you post?
Road Racing is what on track, wheel to wheel racing is called. Thats what its called, and thats what people who know what they are talking about call it.
As a road racer in the process of beginning a w2w race campaign, I am glad there is a forum dedicated to road racing. Hopefully it will be a great place for road racers to swap info and talk, lets just get our terminology straight ok?

You are getting road racing confused with street racing, which are complete polar opposites. And in case you didnt know, i-club does not promote or condone street racing. If you are wondering why some people get worked up about this, (and I actually toned this post down a good bit) it is because of the work, money, time and effort put in by a driver to develop road racing skills. Getting it confused with illegal no skill street racing can hit a nerve. So if you honestly just misunderstood then please just do a little research before you post next time so you will know the proper terms. Next time I might not be so nice ;)

i think it's a good name

what do you want to call it?

"At the Track" sounds cool... or "Track Time"... :)
hey evan- :monkey: the monkey's back and he's coming after you, you ignorant n00b...

That's what I was implying.:monkey:

How about "Not in a circle or oval track racing." That would keep the redneck nascar yahoos away.

How about not jumping down each others throats when we hear something we disagree with. This is supposed to be the new and improved i-club. How will threads like this attract new members?

Although Road Racing is the obvious term for those of us that are "in the know", there are vastly more people that are not "in the know." Nearly every time I tell people that I am involved in road racing, they get a look of shock on their face because they think I am racing on roads.

I have not problem renaming the forum to Road Course Racing or Circuit Racing.

Hehe Gary agrees with me on Circuit Racing :D But yeah, lotsa people think road racing = street racing, and that's not cool.

How about we all just try little harder to educate people 'not in the know'? Why not just explain to people when they misinterpret? Personally, I dont have any prob calling it Road Racing. In fact, i love Road Racing :D

I've been following motorcycle roadracing for years. I can see how the term "Road Racing" could be misinterpreted by those who are not as knowledgable.

I didnt know squat about subie's until I joined I-Club a year ago. The information here is invaulable and always available.

So, be nice to noobs(myself included) and they may someday share their info with others on this board....And around it goes>>>>>>>>>

btw/The title Road Racing is perfect


mitch

if you don't know what road racing means your a stupid noob


:lol:

If you don't like the term road racing don't post anything here .............pretty simple..

Open Tracking always works for me.

Larry

I'm fine with the name... and now I have a question... is there anywhere in maryland this is done...

Both Summit Point and Virginia International Raceway are close enough to be considered "local" to Maryland.....at least to a track whore, like me.

(definition: local: any track that is less than 12 hours away)

:D jack

So...CART races on the street, is that bad? LOL. Well, u also have to know that any kind of motorsport is dangerous, unless its R/C cars...well if you don't give the transmitter to your kid if you want to keep your toes hehe.

Road racing is the correct term. It is a term rooted in history.

Back in the good old days the races were actually held on roads.
Watking Glen was run on public roads. The Vanderbult Cup was run on the public roads of Bridgehampton. It is still fairly common practice in Europe, Mille millia [spelling], the Tourist trophy races in Great Britian, The Nurburing in Germany. Even stages of the WRC. The big difference is the roads are temporarily closed to the public.
What some pople get so worked up about is street racing, Illegal, and most of all incredibly stupid. Just because someone is not familiar with the definition of a term does not make them stupid, just ignorant or misinformed, either is very cureable.

We have plenty of good people here to learn from as long as we are willing to listen.

My 2 cents

Thanks.
