Go to the main menu, scroll all the way to the bottom and read forum guidelines and rules. This link will take you to the rule created by the administrator regarding deletion of any street racing stories.

Yea, pretty well known. Read the forum rules to see what's taboo and why. The owners/mods run a pretty tight ship but it's all for good -- there's a reason why this forum is a cut above.

Also, just FYI, it's always a good idea to PM a mod directly if you have an issue with policy or anything.

yea pretty well known rule, just check the rules that's all.
You can talk about racing, just not STREET racing. Has to be on a track or event etc.. to bring it up on the forum.

This is a site for responsible individuals who want to learn about vettes and joke around a little, it's not one of the "my vette killed a stang" "good kill" forums. Racing is for the track, here we like to talk about good looking vettes and ladies and how FAST our cars are ON THE TRACK...

Don't worry bud, I did this also when I was a Jr. I quickly realized that killstories are not permitted here on CF(which is a great online forum with great people ). Welcome to the forum!

These guys who act like they are holier than thou, just ignore them. Many newbees make this mistake all the time. Stay on this forum long enough and you'll see what I mean. Don't lose any sleep over it and enjoy the forum

We've all made a few mistakes before catching on

This is a great Forum and you'll find out more about your Vette than you could ever need.

Good to see you're not shouting the odds and have moved on

Enjoy the Forum

Talking about street racing is against the forum rules. Talking about experiences at a sanctioned track is OK.
