On april 8th pittsburgh raceway park will open up for test and tune. im planning on going and i was wondering who else will be there? this will be my first time at the track with the cobalt. do you think it will be too crowded or should we at least be able to get 4 runs in?

 

Count me out, but thanks for the heads up, I'll have to check the schedule so I can avoid 22 on the test and tune/race days.

 

do u ever go up there? also i dont think they have the schedule up on their website yet, i had to call to find out. why avoid 22?

 

cause it is full of ricers, and annoying traffic.

 

Nope, I never go to PRP. I avoid 22 coming back from Indiana because last semester I almost got in so many wrecks from people coming out of there, I had class Thursdays which was usually a Test n Tune night I guess. Most of the people are OK, but there are some real jackasses then they try and continue racing on 22 all the way back to Pittsburgh. Almost got my car totalled by some dick in an Audi that got mad I wouldn't race him so he cut me off and slammed on the brakes. So I just stick to 286 if there's anything going on at PRP.

 

LOL you're from Philly and you know that (guessing you've been past PRP on an event night?)!!!! Not everyone that goes there is a ricer or dangerous but the ones that are make it not worth taking the chance of one of them totaling my car.

 

wow i never realized it was that bad, that road is always full of cops i wouldnt wanna speed or race on there at all...

 

The cops are there for a reason. There was some serious trouble there a few years back, some people I guess were even talking about a petition to shut PRP down because of the problems they were having. This was when the Fast and Furious crap was big and there were a lot of wannabe street racers out and about. It's tamed down a LITTLE since then, but there are still people there that cause trouble. It's a shame for the decent people who go there because it means greater scrutiny from the cops and from the neighbors. Personally, I just choose to avoid the area whenever there's an open event going on.

 

people need to grow up and learn that the street is not cool to race on all the time i mean sure we all might give into a little stoplight race here and there but the way those types of people do it is stupid

 

I'm not one to stereotype, but most of these guys with their civics (muffler tipped or full out modded) can't drive for ****. I've had so many close calls with these people. I can only imagine 50 of them on a stretch of highway.
