Not so much. Once you do it once--that's about all you'll get out of it. People don't take losing money too well so once you do that to one car, everyone will know.
People that are racing for money aren't tools for the most part. They know their car and have a pretty good idea as to what your car is capable of.
everyone one of those street races are tools. they are are easily hustled and dont know if they are getting hustled. That why you let them see everything so if they miss something with there own to eyes, then its there fault.
...i once went to the street races in So Cal with my friends POS Bmw 318i (E30) and went up to some STi owner than was asking to race people.... i said "Hey, Wanna race my BMW... Its a Stock POS"
He looked at the car and said "Yeah".... then i said "Ok, lets race for $1,000, Its 100% Stock"
everyone including the STi was shocked and started to get scared.... Really scared. They started getting on here hands and knees looking under the car. They even asked us to pop the Hood and we Said "No, it doesnt Pop" and they got even more scared.
..... In the end they refused to race the POS BMW because they actually thought it was modded hard because we wanted to race for $1,000...... They were REALLY scared even thought we were telling the truth about it being 100% stock.
Thats the kind of things you can do to hustle people at the races... just tell the truth and say things in a certain way and people get hustled
