I have never said it wasn't....but winter can strike anytime. It is well known that most people leave the winters on until the long weekend in May because for some reason we seem to get a snowstorm or two before then.

well as a fact the main roads are clear already which at first i didn't expect but not surprised, if i had summer tires i could still drive on the main roads, i'm sure there are ppl doing that right now. Tho I'll stick to my winter for another 1-2 weeks.

we prefer to call it what it is, a weekly showNshine under the pretense of "street racing" because nobody races anymore, for 1 it's stupid, for 2 it's stupid, and for 3 it's stupid

stupid#1=cops+tickets+bye bye car
stupid#2=random cars in the area and if your street racing someone could pop out of no where and now your dead and the person(s) in the vehicle you hit, possibly the person you were racing too, and if u were stupid enough to have your own passengers like a close friend, g/f, maybe a family memeber....
stupid#3=Race city is a race track that allows us to go "street race" every friday night when the weather is warm enough and the track opens......it's that simple

Sideways? my ESC keeps me straight but in summer tires I would not have moved an inch today, all seasons i wouldn't be worried, drive very careful and you'll be fine

ahaha so? you once had 6 posts as well... why judge him without knowing his intention... read his post he asked "does anyone here go to the street races? "

answer... yes, simple as that
and like i said i call it the street races as well, are you going to lecture me on street racing as well now?

I offered up an opinion and general information, nothing wrong with that on a public forum.

and if he has a problem with it i'm sure he will post it for himself, he doesn't need your help defending his position i'm sure he is an adult and can do that for himself

dood lol i tried 10 times to get up my hill.........fail, then it took me another 4 tries to get up Edmonton trail so i could go the other way, the snow was the worst kind, ice underneath and weird, annoying, can't get traction snow. I was so happy to see Edmonton trail cleared up this afternoon

you're right, but like steve said i can't get going fast enough to hurt anything or one. if one uses his mind one usually stays out of trouble. the only thing i've hit lately is rabbits not ditchs or other cars.lmao thanks Al for your concern, always said you're a good man. welcome octane how the hell are you.
