  • Street racing and other illegal activities involving cars

    To all users,

    In recent months, membership and activity levels on GTRC has really taken off. Skylines in Canada is now a reality, and is proving to be a real alternative to other available cars in import enthusiasts' short list of cars for purchase consideration. As well, models like the GTS-t is inexpensive enough that many younger enthusiasts are able to buy them, perhaps before they have had enough time to really appreciate the performance potential...and risks of owning one.

    As such, I would like to bring everyone's attention to rule number 15. in our forum rules:

    15. - Discussion of illegal activities - Being concerned about the image of this club and of the Nissan Skyline in Canada, posts about street racing stories are NOT PERMITTED.
    If you have a desperate need to brag about illegal activities, do it off the forums. Any such posts will be deleted and you will receive a warning. Try it again and you'll be banned.
    I cannot stress enough how seriously we take this issue. The admin and moderators take a zero tolerance position. As said by one mod: "It's not racing, it's not fast, and there's no concern for public safety. All in all, a no-win situation. Allowing the street racing people to have a voice about their "exploits" will increase the post count but decrease the quality".

    We can have fun, we can enjoy our cars, we can explore its limits on a suitable venue, and we can earn the respect of our peers and authorities.

    Don't make GTRC into something we don't want it to be.

      Don't take it hard, you merely reminded us that we need to enforce this. Every club has their own culture, we want to make this rule a part of ours.

        There is always a need to go fast.. Thats what sports cars are for.. I totally agree with JZ rather then street race I would like to see club track meets... Faster, Safer, More Fun and definately less expensive (a street racing ticket is lots of $ and raises your insurace IF you still have a licence..)

        Keep it on the track... 8)

              well im glad to see a forum with a strong stand on this topic.
              having done my fair share of illegal street racing(currently without a license btw :wink i must say that i agree with reality_v2. WHEN i decided to actually start going to the track, i got more harrasment from the cops on my way to and from then i ever did out on the streets. its rediculous. the last few times i went to the track i got $1000 of fines just for stupid things! none of wich had enything to do with the way i was driving. ie. worn tires, improper muffler, improper battery placment/tie down.

                Can't you fight things like that in court? Seeing as the cop had no reason to pull you over in the first place so he shouldn't even be inspecting your car?

                  ya you can fight them. the problem is most of the time where you get the ticket is kinda far from home so you have to waste a day going to court in another town not to mention you could lose your case anyway and then your out a days pay plus gas plus the fines.

                    I live in Calgary and we have courts downtown. So it's not much of a drive if we need to fight something.

                        I meant to get to courts if I wanted to fight something. But I am lucky to live near a track.

                            yeah i know thats what you meant. but if you get a ticket out of your town you have to go to the county court where you got the ticket.
