Runway is Sunday's drag race

[indralove]

Hi guys!

I just contacted my cousin in Medan, Indonesia. He's a Car drag race mechanic. I found out that Medan's Polonia Airport runway is closed for Street fighter drag race, and it's legal by the govt.

 

Do u think Singapore runways, like Seletar airport will be open for a weekend Straight line competition?

 

Give me your comments.

That is a very dangerous spot with numerous TP hiding!!!!!!!!!!!

[mechwira]

any reasonably safe way of holding any form of organized motorsports without undue inconvenience to the public should be supported and considered by the govt.

 

safe (within reason of coz).

 

no inconvenience to public.

 

organized (meaning not something ppl happy happy just do on road or elsewhere).

 

nothing wrong. large carparks. our own track. etc.

Actually, that's meant fr emergency landings in case the runway being not available. Dat's y LCK cannot be used. but place like Seletar airport, not a bz runway especially on Sunday ..... i guessed, should be ok .... since what i see here, there are many car enthusiast whose car i see like " COME ON BABE! GAS IT ! " type can be made full use ..

tat road high accident rate de.....

 

last time my camp over there, always lots of news that pple die or injured there.....

[katana777]

dun think it will happen in singapore....

tons of FOD after the race....

[indralove]

in a type of legal drag race ... everyone wears a full suit like legal competitions we had at Kallang race . so injuries is minimal ....

[indralove]

Aisey nobody here drive cars or Jackpot racers see my thread ah ? vote lah ...

[aalphaa]

I echo mechwira's view. Why not?

Prob not enough support from the locals, that's why...

[SBR750]

LCK emergency runway...hmm good idea oso. near the cemeteries. so any fatal accidents or injuries can straight away send there. no need medic to standby..

[kirra55]

The idea has been carried out many times b4 at a variety of runways and small local airfields. It's not so difficult really.

 

The main requirements are:

1 Agreement by airfiled administrators/owners, to close runway for one day;

2 Agreement from the various authorities, such as local Gov Council, the Airports authorities and the LTA;

3 Agreement from Insurers and preferably race insurance available for everyone;

4 Agreement by a group of ppl to run such an event, which means having a club or association being responsible to take the lead on running such a thing.

 

Going to all that trouble would be a waste of time if it was for just a one off meeting. Far better to organise as a reular thing, say every two months. It would also mean the start of an organisation capable of overseeing any motorcycle racing events should a track ever be built in Sg.

Well, from what i see that the demand is there ...... can see from the vote itself

[ambasnakeman]

i dun see why lck cant be used if its gonna be legal. by the way, lck runway, sloping a bit. closing the road for a day maybe hard for the guys in armour.all they have to do is to block out r4 lanes, and get spectator seats from jurong east stadium, those kind at the side of the field. cheap solution man. all u know, there maybe a local guy breaking the world record

Brader ! u never respect the people the other side sleeping ah ? unless u play at night .. then they are awake to watch the race ... Dont need any chair or bench ....

 

 

Beside's far tat the end .... at Jalan Murai ... with that kinda racing exhaust sound .. i think all the chicked eggs laid crack into pieces hahaha

[Speedpass]

lim chu kang rd not tat good for drag race as the rd a lot of debris leh . i use tat rd almost every day . but it is a great place to whack bike cos there is a total of 6 lanes leh , even the lorries laden full of blackies do top speed there .

when people really have strong willing, things can made happen..

 

countries even become independance coz ppl united. so if we rally to gouvernment, why its not possible. let support this.

 

its not harm to anyone else. for riders responsible for their own risk. its like you go for swimming. gouvernment don't need to give u license to swim nor insurance covered.

 

support... support...

 

i am even thinking to start rally to increase COE for more years. u buy expensive cars and you can use for 10 or 20 years is not worth. not that i buy, but say if you buy a supersport car a one million plus and can use only 10 years!!!! thats stupid rule.

:thumb: for the rally ......

 

but ....for the COE .....

cars can renew COE every 10 yearsfor many decades, as long as

1) ur car is in good conditions, road safety

2) u dont renew 5 years....

3) Pass inspection

 

maybe Govt want's to control number of cars on the road.. If Coe is cheap, then all get Ferrari (imagine at my hdb block, the whole parking lot is mercedez ... hehe ).. same as Mercedez .... it use to be a luxury car ... but image dropped when a taxi also got mercedez. .....

Drag race at Lim Chu Kang road is a good idea! 6 lanes and clear view from beginning to the end. There is also Tengah medical center nearby in case of mishap. There is no concern about noise pollution (bikes are nothing compared to F16s). The road also does not have high traffic volume, so closing until ony 2 lanes left is still possible.
