Peace. I used to be a part of the ORIGINAL Speed Image/Wicked Racing crew here in the Bay Area back from 1994-2000/01 or so. I was the tall whiteboy in the crew named Shaun with the white '94 Civic Coupe that was SLAMMED! haha

Anyways, been reminicing about the good 'ole days and wanted to see if any of my old teamates were postin here. Peace to the OG Speed Image/Wicked Racing crew... Tin Tin, Luan (Nick), Big Ray, Gerry (G-Sack), Joel, Erwin, Loc Tran, Vince (originally Sportline), David Shih (originally The Wheel Connection), and the original Wicked crew from LA... Dr. Charles (San Gabriel), Viet Lam (Santa Ana), Ron Bergenholtz, and later Ed (Santa Ana), Peter Yam (Long Beach), Andrew Yang (San Gabriel), Monkey (Santa Ana), Tien (Santa Ana), Anthony (Santa Ana), Chris (Santa Ana), Andrew (Trickspeed) and the rest of the guys who I can't remember.

Here was my car back then...


Here's a couple of pics from one of the race events at Sacramento Raceway back in '96.




With my '95 Integra LS engine, the best I ever ran was a 12.26 @ 111 mph with a JG Engine Dynamics head, JG 302 cams, JG adjustable cam gears, ACT 6-puck clutch and a 80-shot direct port NOS system. All motor with the same set up, my best was a 13.9 @ 101mph if I remember correctly. 1995/96/97.

 

I remember this car, havent seen a trickspeed sticker in a while!!

 

I remember those days, I was at every CMI event from 97-2002. i didn't have a car to race back then but always came out to support the sport. It would be cool to see Wicked Racing make a comeback or possibly merge with another team. Do you still have the car?

 

Yea Buddy, Now that's taking it back....I witnessed those days Inspiration!!!!

 

Word. Andrew, who was originally from LA, was my boy and he's the one who opened Trickspeed up in Sac.


haha I'm 38 now man... sold that car to a kid in my parents neighborhood back in 2004 or so? When he was pretty young, he always saw my car in the neighborhood and loved it so it was good to let it go to someone like that. And I haven't been into the racing scene since 2001/02 or so. I just went back to focusing on what I've always focused on since I was young... Hiphop Music & Culture and my DJ'in. But yeah, it would be cool to see "Wicked Racing" out there again.

 

Racing dosent have a age limit last time i checked, bring it back...

 

haha No doubt, but I was talkin about my Civic. I originally bought that car brand new back in July '94 so I would hope I don't have it anymore. Ya know?

 

Mad respect to wicked and all crews who blazed the current pathway. I feel bad i been neglecting bboyin for my car lol hiphop culture and imports always went together..gotta be that 90's mindstate

 

Erwin of Motor-Tech? i remember him being a turbo LS....

 

Curious to know what a '95 LS motor was goin for in '96.. Had to be outrageous!!

 

Stork whattup!!! Skipp here...

I saw Loc last summer at our friend Phongs (Wicked Racing) funeral. That same weekend I passed by Ron B's house to visit as well.

Charles is working for Skunk these days. To my knowledge none of the OGs are racing these days, we are in fact sti racing though! Just sold my 11 sec all motor street car and am slowing down a little. Ron and Ed were planning on takin the Mazda to E-Town last year but it didn't fall thru...

Hit me up man! BBQ at DNR this coming Sunday come chill....street races after foreals!

 

A 95 LS swap was $3000 for parts alone back then FYI.

I think Erwin was a JG built gsr turbo/nos

 

Itd be dope to see a pic of some crews members old rides and a pic of what sled they have now

 

X2

 

I got alot of pics of the wicked cars... Just need to scan em and post them up... The good ol days...

 

Post them up!!

I remember rolling out to Ontario street races and compton and seeing Peter Yem with the white EF hatch all lexan windows even the windshield. Carburated single cam all motor with the Wicked sticker on the windshield..

And charles out there running cars in sylmar, ontario, etc..

Good old days..

 

Dave Shih (Wheel Connection / Race-n-Rock) is now CEO of BLOX.

Ive been trying to tell Dave to build another CRX so I can stage up with him...lol

 

Oh ****, whattup SKIPP!! How the **** are you? Aren't you DJ'in these days too??? I take it that BBQ was earlier today??? I would not have been able to make it anyways... it was game 1 of the NLCS (SF Giants). But damn, Dr. Charles works for Skunk these days? That's cool. I heard about Phoung last year from someone (r.i.p).

Well I got lucky that I bought my '95 LS Motor for $1,500 straight out of some guys Integra and it only had 20,000k miles (he had gotten a GSR engine for cheap). And my boys at Trickspeed up in Sac pretty much helped me put it in. But I think what Skipp said was right, the average person was payin like $3,000.

 

Bring this back!

 

X3... Hubcaps n stickers ftw..

I got back into to it after 8 years its all fun again

 

Damn I just seen this reply like 8 months later!

Ya I was DJ'ng quite heavily, slowed down cuz I had two daughters.

Still racing, and as a matter of fact I just got a mint condition, white 95 ex coup. Taking it back to me and your roots my brother.

Hit me up man would be great to catch up!

 

Yo Pacheco!

Wicked would never, in a million years merge with any crew.

Won't be likely to see any of the notorious stickers on any cars as that takes serious approval.

Phong had one that Ron B gave him for his tube chassis Integra, too bad he passes before we could bring it out.

 

can we please get somemore pics posted..wish i could go back in time!

 

Here....
