And no there is no official timing and official prizes.
These racers tests there cars from time to time, to get ur times. Mine was tested at Vanderbijlpark air field.
Dude, your a clown..

You got people that will just dump R200k on each of the two fastest FWD's you claim to own with no advertising? because unless the car is actualy seen at events people wouldnt know about them... So you claim you got people that waste HUGE amounts of money on 2 cars for no purpose but you here begging for parts both stock and performance?

I think the 9's you refer to must be 0-100kph...

Your color blind to boot...

Ditto

We not lighties here, boet.
When you get the parts for your S13, are you gonna tell everyone its sponsored????

1. Yes I'm a policeman, check my force number: 04498259!!!!!!!
2. No I'm not corrupt. A little nauthy but not corrupt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Street racing is not "illegal". There is no law against it. There are laws against speed, a law about what lights u may or may not add to ur vehicle and a law against using a cellphone while driving a vehicle.

In Vereeniging on some Sunday nights, the traffic department closes the main street, Voortrekker Street, and then regulate the racing in town!!!!!
They do this so that they can keep an eye on the racing and the racers dont have to go to other places to race where there is no safety precautions. When this happens, the police and ambulance services are on hand for any problems or accidents.

Any other questions?
I opened this post to ask for help on spares for my Sx. It is a nice car and I wish to rebuild it, for it is in a bad shape. Please, if u can help with parts, let me know.

So you guys are making fun of the piggy???

I laugh my ass off if he fines you all!

Give the guy a break, we dont know what hiss current situation is and if all he is talking about is the truth or not.

He does have a point about what is legal and not.

The law only says that speeding is not legal. It doesn't say anything about street racing.

On the neon lights thing, I was in a long court case about that, I got fined for having blue head lights. The law says you are not allowed to have any kind of lighting under your car of any color, for the rest of the car you are not allowed to have blue, red or green lights on under or around the car, you have to get a special permit to get orange lights.

Spot lights added on afterwards (like on bakkies) must be covered in white plastic covers.
Silly yeah but thats the law.

The thing about closing down the streets, I have heard of that before, never been there myself but it makes good sense to keep racing on the streets safe.

On the begging for parts mate....

Ok for all the new parts we want to add we try to fund them by selling our old parts, times are hard and we all need money and freebees but I would suggest that you pay for what you get. That way you will appreciate it so much more and look after it better coz it came from the work of your hands and the sweat of your forehead.

I have loads of performance parts for you for mad cheap prices, I sell the stuff to the forum guys for lank cheap coz I want to help everyone getting nice parts on a awesome car.

Work hard and get the parts you need by buying them.

just my 2c

Actually there are laws against street racing. I suggest you go read your road traffic act before making statements like that.

Here is an excerpt from the National Raod Traffic Act:

Racing and sport on public roads
317. (1) For the purposes of this regulation the expression "race or sport" includes--
a. any race, speed trial, reliability trial, hill climbing competition or sports meeting;
b. any other activity whatsoever--
http://www.transport.gov.za/library/reg ... egs10.html (13 of 21) [6/24/2008 9:00:28 AM]
National Road Traffic Regulations - Chapter 10
i. which may constitute a source of danger to traffic; or
ii. which may hamper, impede or disrupt the normal flow of traffic.
(2) No person shall organize or take part in any race or sport on a public road, unless the prior
written consent of the MEC of the province concerned has been obtained or, where the race or sport
will take place wholly within the area of jurisdiction of a local authority, the prior written consent of
such local authority has been obtained.
(3) In granting consent in terms of subregulation (2), the MEC or the local authority concerned, as
the case may be, may--
a. in addition to any requirement prescribed in these regulations, impose such further conditions
as he or she or it may deem expedient;
b. exempt any person concerned with the race or sport for the duration thereof--
i. from any provision of the Act regarding any speed limit or determine another
speed limit for the road concerned;
ii. from any other provision of the Act or from any by-law;
c. levy fees for defraying the expenses incurred by the Provincial Administration or local
authority concerned in connection with the race or sport.
(4) Any consent granted in terms of subregulation (2) may be withdrawn at any time.

So I don't know the actual situation in Vereeniging, but its seems the municipality would have to give permission for the racing to happen, not just the traffic department.

I think its a good idea if it stops illegal street racing, but as an MSA license holder I must also inform you that all forms of motorsport must be regulated and approved by MSA, otherwise things like your medical aid, insurance, etc. may not pay out if you're involved in non regulated motorsport.

So you and a some random guy driving on the N1 at 140km/h would get fined for street racing???

Or driving up a mountain doing just a bit more than the speed limit?

So that is to be taken as street racing then.

OMG my mother is a srteet racer then! Ha Ha

There might be written proof of such law yes, maybe, but to prove that in court will be impossible.

Trapping someone for speed is easier than trapping someone for street racing.

Come to think of it then, all those years in my youth playing cricket in the street then...HAHA

Where in Alberton is the racing, Wesbank(closed now)? i live in alberton and havent heard of any racing happening, besides the odd 2 cars once in a while in the street above me.

Guy, The law is there to prevent street racing, That is why it is "illegal", But it has never been proven in any court, not even when the racers was trapped by police men. The only time it can be proven is when money changes hands. We dont race for money, just pride, that is why we try to get traffic, ambulance and local police involved to be on hand when the races are on. Every1 knows the risk that we take.
Maybe you might be able to help us in getting it done more legally in more towns?

Hanco, I'm willing to pay for the parts but my Income prevents me from buying anything more than R600-00 a month. At that rate my sx should b finished by end 2011. I send u a pm.

Riekert, C my pm. And thanx for the info.

Greg, hang around town near the R59 on Saterday nights, you will find them.

I love this. So funny.

Oh and by the way Brent crude is a epic fail...

R5 a liter here we come.

Guys of all the illegal race meetings that you have been to or heard of did anyone ever get fined for street racing? NO. So there you go, if no one ever got fined for it and the pigs who should fine us don't even know about such laws then do you think there is someone???

Its an OU TANNIE STORIE that your mom told you so that she doesn't lose her precious son.

This argument can go on and on. How about someone goes and tries to get fined for that? Then I will believe it. That is if they can prove it in court...which I highly doubt.

Just let it go and leave the poor man in peace!

Well Hanco, dont go to George cause there you will get fined. We were all standing in a parking lot one saturday night, my one friend driving a sx drove into the parking lot and at a lower section did a 360 and came and parked between us. He left the car running to cool the turbo and the next moment there was police all over the see wanting to know who's car it is. Well my friend had one or two drinks at the party he came from so i said i was the driver ,whereafter i was loaded into a police van and taken to the station to be fined R1800 for wheel spinning. Best of all from where the cops were they could never had seen him do the donught, but a guy in a jetta who entered the parking lot after my friend wheelspinning and making a moer of a noise wasnt even looked at. The idling sports car must have been the offender.
