Street racers - who are they? The philosophy of street racing

Many people heard the word "street racers". Who it is, not everyone knows. The townsfolk mistakenly believe that street racers and racers are absolutely identical terms. In fact, everything is not so simple. Let's try to figure out who these street racers are. What do these people live that attracts them to the night streets, on what do they travel?

Racers and street racers

So, what is the fundamental difference? Firstly, we can confidently say that both racers and street racers are not even related concepts. These people are completely different. The only thing that unites them is the passion for high speeds. In the rest they look at the world quite differently. So who are street racers and who are these racers?

The racer is, first of all, the pro. He is educated, responsible, disciplined. He acts by the rules, dropping speed on bends, fastening the belt, observing all safety standards. His friends are the same as he is. They gather on special race tracks to clash in a duel, show their skills and technical capabilities of their cars.

In that case, street racers - who are they? In fact, this is the exact opposite of professional riders. Stritreyzeru spit on the rules, for him there are no such concepts as "too fast" and "too dangerous." Moreover, what is prohibited, it attracts. It is this craving for adventurism that drives him to the streets of the night city, makes him sit behind the wheel and rush off to where his crazy friends are waiting.

Rules for those who do not recognize the rules

Do not consider the street racing community anarchistic. In this insane environment, there are laws of their own, which are very strictly enforced. Surprisingly, the violation of traffic rules in this get-together is considered shameful. It is unacceptable to drive on a faulty car. It is inadmissible to endanger the lives of other community members and random people. And, perhaps most importantly - all races are carried out in the city. Hence, by the way, the name itself takes the origins.

The origins of street racing

History originates in the USA. Surprisingly, the earliest mention of night racing dates back to the 20s of the last century. The first competitions were held in California, in an incredibly beautiful place - at the bottom of a dried-up lake. The goal of the competition is to overcome 402 meters, having managed to accelerate the car to the maximum. The requirement for the participants was only one: it was necessary to arrive at the competitions on their own four-wheeled vehicle equipped with an engine.

Since then, it has become a tradition that the war cut short. At the bottom of the legendary lake equipped with a military air base. Deprived of the usual springboard, street racers were puzzled by the search for a new one. Without thinking of anything better, they began to drive through the streets of the night Los Angeles. This is how this amazing sport originated.

Stritreyce in Russia

The irrepressible craving for high-speed night pokatushkami in the deserted streets appeared in Russia and other countries of the post-Soviet space relatively recently - about 20 years ago. Of course, this is due to the collapse of the great power and the flow of information pouring from the West. Foreign films about brave street racers quickly gained popularity. Cassettes with "Forsage" wandered from hand to hand and stared up to complete physical wear and tear. New words unaccustomed attracted the rumor of something foreign and unknown. For the first time the most brave and crazy began to ask simple questions: "Street racers - who are they? What does this wonderful world live?" At about that time, the Russian street school began to form.

The sticks in the wheels

The first groups of extreme drivers began to emerge, which subsequently grew to serious organizations. Naturally, the new phenomenon immediately caused a resonance in the society. I must say that even now his opponents are many times more numerous than admirers, and in those days when Soviet culture was still firmly in people's minds, the attitude was completely negative. But is it possible to break the human condemnation of a real adventurer, with a soul in love with speed?

More and more often the question was: "Street racers - who are they and what are they doing?" And if someone continued to turn his nose, then a large part of those who are interested are seriously carried away by a new trend. And one of them has grown to the level of true conquerors of night roads.

For a long time, street racing was outlawed and many caused exceptionally negative associations. In disgrace of society were themselves street racing. Who are they, what are they interfering with, what are they doing wrong - hardly anyone seriously thought about it. But the very image of the driver, rushing at a frenzied speed through the streets of the sleeping area, many simply frightened ... However, this did not stop the conquerors of roads.

Legalization and its fruits

And the first legal race was held in 2000. This was followed by many changes in the positive side. The fans of this rather extreme sport for the first time had the opportunity to study peacefully. Today, no organization will release an incompetent newcomer to the road, because serious clubs themselves are interested in ensuring that the law is respected. Machines undergo the necessary diagnostics, starting from the state of the motor, ending with the gearbox. Street racers are allowed to participate in races only if the car is OK. This significantly reduced the level of accidents and injuries.
