I got mad at an administrator because someone posted a topic asking about stock run times. I posted one of my videos that I did a 0-90 on a empty public road, and the admin removed it calling it street racing, and he messaged me and a being angry, replied with disrespectful comments and got perma-banned. lol

Sounds like it was a misunderstanding that got out of hand, but hey you're welcome here

I discovered that forum a few years back when I bought my Blazer. IMO you're not missing much. There's a lot of kissass politics on that site. If you don't agree with every single post and worship the ground a particular admin walks on then it seems you are not welcome there. I've seen some very knowledgeable people get banned from there simply because they expressed a differing opinion in a respectable manner. I never got banned, but my visits were far and few between. Let me guess...the admin that banned you owns a '74 K5 and an '04 Tahoe. There are other truck forums out there with friendly, more knowledgeable members.

I don't want to **** you off but I can see their point. According to your post it was an empty public road not a closed course. Even though you were not racing another car you were racing the clock. All things considered it was street racing and I can respect their decision not to have that content on their site. As far as being banned well that is their loss. I can understand banning illegal activity such as speeding and street racing, but banning a member because they have a different opinion is censorship. Differing opinions is what expands diologue and the movement of ideas. Just my opinion. Gregg.
