Default Any SC guys having trouble finding races?

Since I got the upgrades I have been having a hard time getting races. Besides racing badass Z06's, Supras and race prepped TA's, I asked a modded EVO if he wanted to run and he said no because he saw my front mount. I ended up racing him and taking the W. I had buddies looking for races for me, just so I could play. Is there any other folks having the same problem?

It is putting down 330 to 340 at the wheels. Before it was tuned it put down 321 @ 8100 rpms, he didn't want to redline it, plus his fan was broke .

Go to the drag strip.... I'm sure you'll find people

Then return with the results

I like to go from a roll, easier on the diff. I am planning to hit the track soon, maybe a week or so. I am hoping for a high 12. We will see.

Yeah, it is super obvious. I did it on purpose, shows mainly. It looks really mean, especially with Spearco written across it .

Yeah, go to a strip. Keep racing on the streets and sooner or later, you'll be in deep shit. I got a racing ticket almost 2 years ago, and I'm trying very hard to not do it again.

Yeah from a roll is always better on the car, but in public it is still pretty risky.

They should have rolling start races at the strip
