Hey everyone,
I used to meet with a pretty big group of street racing clubs when I was younger ('07-'09). I've been in drag races, circuits in the city, and general debauchery of the racing sort.
I never got arrested, but I have had my car impounded a few times. I don't do any of this any more, but I'm big on automotive tuning.
How do I put this on my resume? Instead of just "automotive tuning," how do I further qualify this in my interests?

Sure, sounds like a great idea to put something illegal on your resume.
Motorsport.
What the hell, go for broke.
interests: going fast. sometimes furiously.
I would definitely want to get someone like that in for interview!!
Check the statute of limitations. Chances are, it's probably best not to put it in writing for the next ten or twenty years.
Why not do some legal roadracing? I raced motorcycles at the track for a while when I just got out of school. It's pretty easy to get into.
Interests: Ground Effects, Body Kits, Cold Air Intakes, NOS, Big Mufflers, Aluminum Wings, Carbon Fiber Hoods, Carbon Fiber Trunks, Euro Lights, Hair Gel, Underbody Neon Light Kits
Investing 2X the value of an asset in order to make said asset 10% as good as it originally was.
^^^ You don't want lots of extra lights and doo-dads on a racing vehicle. You do not want the alternator taking stuff out. One of my friends who drag races actually rewired his car to NOT charge the battery.
You should definitely make sure you have your MPH stats on there as well..ie your running MPH and your highest MPH you've hit while racing....oh, and definitely mention if you have a sub 10 second car
Mention 0-60 time. That would be awesome.
/\ running? or in a car?
In all seriousness, just keep "automotive tuning" on there. I put autocrossing on my resume, and people always asked about it.
I'll bite. What the fuck is "autocrossing"?
Eddie - Check out the Wiki.
Classic. Driving around a Wal-Mart parking lot with orange traffic cones. I'll bet that resumé went to the top of the pile.
I'm just breaking your balls, bro.
I think I found this autocrossing
i grow pot in my grandma's basement.
Activities: Indoor gardening, botany
Horticulture, bro. You gotta church it up a little.
this might be helpful resume advice considering your situation
My rez has Auto Racing - Mechanics on it. Make sure you can explain what that means to people, otherwise the laymen will assume Nascar.
Just put "Voluptuous women" and "autos" under interests and they'll know.
Hey everyone,
I used to meet with a pretty big group of street fighting clubs when I was younger ('07-'09). I've been in cage matches, ancient style thai boxing matches with glass covered gloves, fights to the death and general debauchery of the violent sort.
I never got arrested, but I have been given warnings for not registering my hands as deadly weapons a few times. I don't do any of this any more, but I'm big on krav maga.
How do I put this on my resume? Instead of just "no holds barred street fighting," how do I further qualify this in my interests?
I wish more and more people like you apply next year.
How much whp/torque? Make sure to quantify
Just say you were a Transporter
Just put a picture of your car or a picture of your speedometer (At full speed of course) on your resume.
Either Autocross or Gymkhana would be great examples... like this one...

Or this if you have the time and desire to do a mountain style autocross... like this:

LOL.
No, don't put tuning, you'll sound like a fucking mechanic. Put Motorsport like someone suggested. I do many track days and this is on my resume.
