Damn, this is an old thread...

[2slo50h]

Damn last time I saw a import in Bismarck throwin down 13's was well never. You guys think you have it bad. Terrible here. Mabey 10 fast imports in town. Fast classified by a low 14 and down. So pathetic here. Stock Preludes own the road, wtf??? Sad when my stock MAXIMA SE 5spd can hand damn near 90% of the imports there ass. Wanna make some money come here and race. Intake and Exhaust is fully built around here.....

Fucking Rednecks

well i just spent 20 minutes or so reading this entire thread. so i guess ill ask

did the scene get better this year?

[Guest]

Yes and no. IMO the race dates were WAY to spread out for the buzz to get going in the import community this season. Add to that lots of people having mechanical problems and whatnot and I don't think the racing at the track was as good as it could have been.

Overall though, I think the scene has matured. Still a ways to go of course, but more mature none the less. Lots of people adding more go fast parts the way it seems and people actually are starting to not drive like idiots on public roads. The show scene was pretty good this year as many of us attended the Tintmasters show as well as shows in Devils Lake, Winnipeg, and Mpls among other places.

All in all a good year for cars and car people, but a bad year for racing.

^ I was wondering the same thing (in reference to z28's post)...

[camzaro28]

it seemed decent, till kmart got shut down, then the church. thats about the time i stopped coming out. hopefully after winter comes and goes we will have a few faster cars comin out.

[2slo50h]

The Supra is gone and the Dsm I am not sure about. But like I said 10cars at best. Besides Smalls hatch, which is in the cities now, there really isnt any import cars here. Cavaliers and the local beat up bitch cars that everyone has owned from time to time that will never run.
The sad thing is, that most of these kids wont even go and race, most will just rev on you and tell you there stock Prelude runs 14.5 stock and talk mad uneducated shit.

Cant wait to get out of this Shit Hole.

[PSiedTSi]

yeah i sold the kid with the supra my DSM and he sold it to someone else like 2wks later and idk where it is anymore its a blue 1Gb talon

wait have you never heard of bismarck?

[2slo50h]

I think the last fast Dsm in Bismarck was Nick Thompsons old one??? White? If I remeber correctly.
3 owners later and It probally still doesn't have a transmission in it.
Its hilarious when someone even buys a fast car somewhere else, cause no one here can fix, or tune the damn thing ever.

[PSiedTSi]

yup he bought it from me for $9k and he sold it a few weeks later cause he had a few problems with it...needless to say he lost $3k(or atleast that since he was asking $6k obo)

So did the scene get better this year?

(Dead thread reincarnation, I was talkin with Jim about this one about half an hour ago)

Wouldn't hurt to start working on this problem now so we can look forward a decent summer and maybe spark some interests. Everyone should list best places and why they think that, and try not to shoot down any possibilities because options are very limited.
