No, I don't particularly care for car lap racing. I do enjoy drag racing.

They usually spend the first 299 laps making an effort to pass the car in front of them.


>> ^KnivesOut:

You must hate car racing. They have like 300 laps, but only the last one matters there too.
Right?>> ^possom:
How about 1 lap instead of 2 silly ones and one real one? I agree, weird.

Saw them live 24 yrs ago outdoor at a drag racing track in Alaska

These people deserve to be drawn and quartered. And then forced to watch Rupaul's drag race 24/7 for a month straight while tied to a pink fluffy chair.

'Race Card' is the biggest cop out ever invented. If you don't want to be accused of racism, don't drag race into these videos. And don't praise rabid and violent racists. The below quotes are from this thread, not YouTube:

"Black people.. makin' [half of] me look bad"

"Listen to enough black comedians (Eddie Murphy to be precise) and you'll learn that much of their fighting consists of scaring the opponent in hopes that they don't actually fight."

Please explain to me how this kid's actions reflect on all black people? Again, why drag this into it? It's this kneejerk racism that gets me. And you want to defend it and EBM.


Danny, the guy yelled many racial epithets. Stop making EBM into Clark Kent. It was clear he wanted to instigate a fight. Anyone, but EBM's weaker, stupider prey, could see that that kid was outmatched.

Sorry to say this but there's a lot of sorry excuse making going on here, including you peggedbea who i'd expect more of.
So many people playing the race card, or trying to. Very easy to pass something off as racism, in fact in our society i think we fanatically adhere to anti-xenophobia to the point where we're dangerously on the other side of the line of fairness.
What this comes down to is one moron threatening a guy and getting his arse kicked within a reasonable limit. I'm not an expert in smack talk, slang or american accents but i didn't hear any racism from EBM, especially before any racism was thrown at him.
The guy moved away, he didn't want to fight, but some dickhead had to try and ruin someone's day, and he got his shit ruined.
You make me so angry making excuses for these fucking morons.. people like this guy (yes he's black but that's only an identifying characteristic, NOT RACISM) are the reason this world is going to shit. I hope he fucking chokes on his teeth, and i hope EBM can kick some more ass of people who go around thinking that they're untouchable and can do what they like without consequences.
What a disappointment, videosift. A guy defends himself from physical assault and you shout him down.

Dupe?

By saying he was sorry for the way people interpreted his comments he at least admitted he fecked up by commenting the way he did and I think that's the best you can hope for.

I didn’t accept that kind of logic when Bush was the screw up, and I don’t accept it from Obama. You can’t fly off the handle over rumors and get a free pass because you’re President. The bigger, better man is the one that takes the responsibility and consequences that come with owning up to mistakes and letting the chips fall where they may.

He came down on the cop. THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE'S RACIST!

Gates has no leg to stand on. There were multiple eye witnesses, an open radio recording of the whole incident, and two other officers (1 black 1 hispanic) who agree that Gates was being offensive and disorderly. Gates was the one that dragged race into this.

The very KINDEST interpretation is that Obama was racist ‘in favor’ of Gates. Why Obama say the police ‘acted stupidly’ when he already admitted he knew NOTHING about the circumstances? Simple. (1) Gates is black and (2) the police arrested him. For a guy like Obama who looks at things through a prism of race, that’s all he needed to know.

Maybe you aren’t willing to admit that Obama also has NEGATIVE prejudices against white people. Fine. But it is inarguable that Obama is willing to give some people a free pass from responsibility because of their color. That’s still racism in my book.

The trick to improving race relations is sensitivity to other people's feelings

Here’s a great video showing EXACTLY how Gates could have just defused this whole situation very easily and simply. Gates violated rules #2 (use common sense) and #5 (be polite). I’d say he also violated #6 (stay away from crazy friends) except that HE was the crazy one.

If Gates had just said, “Yes officer, here’s my ID. Sorry you got called out here for nothing,” then everything would have been just fine. No arrest. Everyone’s happy. But no, he has to throw a fit, insult the officer, and become disorderly.

It seems to me that the way to improve race relations here is for Gates to keep his ‘feelings’ to himself because his feelings made him into a freaking idiot. The officer never did a single thing to warrant being called a racist except to show up at the door. But to the racist idiot Gates, "white cop at my door" automatically means "I'm being persecuted because I'm black!". And the racist President Obama agrees with him.

Another republican attempt to drag race (black=socialism) into a discussion.

A 1 mile drag race is just a horsepower competition. Any number of $150K cars (modified turbo Corvettes, Vipers, Supras, etc.) could show up and hand the Veyron its ass in such a race.
I'd be more interested in a road course race.


Horsepower... The Veyron has very little of that . Not as much as a Corvette, that's for sure.

^ ^ ^ that's what I was going to say! Who cares about a drag race?? Half the gadgets on the Bugatti were rendered pointless.

Memorare= have you tried airshows? drag racing? Strip Clubs? DRUGS? These people you loathe are freaking awesome at their taste in entertainment! You need to be if you live in a trailer!

I for one love monster trucks and will now play Motorstorm to compensate the fact I have none.

WTF?? Lack of downforce?

Please explain to my why the fuck you need downforce to go in a straight line? Extra traction, so your tires don't spin? This is not a drag race.

It's a pretty simple concept, you can apply as much torque as you want to up until your tires spin out of control and you hit a wall. He was leaving rubber from spinning tires before he either shifted wrong, or stayed on the gas and rode it into the wall.

I drive rear wheel drive but without so much power. I believe F1 are not 4-wheel drive.
