All these reasons for the scene going downhill from everyone and here I thought it was all my fault cuz I like whiskey, whew, I can sleep well tonight.... You know what? I don't care that the opinion is that the scene is going downhill around here to be honest. I've always been into cars and I always will be. I don't need a scene to justify it and I know a majority of you feel the same way. So screw it. You want the scene to come back alive? Most people need to stop caring what the hell else everyone thinks about what they are doing and just do what they love and want to do with their cars. I read a lot about how big egos play into whatever around here. Deal with it, it sucks but big egos are everywhere no matter where you are or what you are doing. That isn't what is "killing" the scene. It should fuel the scene through competativeness if nothing else. Same thing as when you were kids, if Billy could jump 3 feet, you wanted to be able to jump 4. What I guess I see this year is a real lack of organization if nothing else. Years before there were hot spots were everyone would just get together before a cruise or just sit and BS. Now that a few jackasses ruined most of the places for everyone we just gotta get reorganized again. There are a few on this board who have put forth some great effort in trying to make this happen. I definetly am not one of them but I do appreciate the effort they have and are putting in greatly. As far as why aren't as many people going all out on mods or whatever as much as they used to? Gas is 3 bucks a gallon, wages haven't gone up to match, and a whole lot of other philisophical bullshit composed in a neat and orderly matter could be put together to explain that. The scenes ok people, it's just laying low. As long as there are people that love cars it's just fine. We just maybe need to kick it in the ass once in awhile to get it going again that's all.

Bitch and wine. Oh and Krazydrifter.....nevermind... I do not have the energy for another 10 pages of worthless wasted bandwidth.
Egos indeed. But if nothing else, you would think that maybe the only thing holding your little scene together. Without arogant fucks like yourselves, myself included :D, you would not have a scene at all. All you would have is a bunch of hippies holding hands across America hugging trees in there off time. Get over it. With out competition and rivalry you really have no means of judegment. Sure some will argue but just shedding a little light on another perspective.
Obviously this holds true for a 75% of the people the other 25% lie and say they made there car faster and look nicer or "modded" in other words for themselves. Tell me who drops $1500 on a pair of wheels and says "I did it for myself." If thats the case you should find a cheaper hobby to make yourself happy about yourself.
Ok so my point was well pointless but I just thought I could stir the fire.

My .02
Here what i think would make drag racing at Idrag more fun.
Time trials for 3 hours
Then heads up for the rest of the day
bikes vs bikes 9.00-10.00 10.01-11.00 11.01-12.99
11.01-12.00 $20.00
12.01-12.50 $20.00
12.51-13.00 $20.00
13.01-13.50 $20.00
13.51-14.00 $20.00
14.01-14.50 $20.00
14.51-15.00 $10.00
15.01-16.00 $10.00
16.01- higher $10.00The sponsor could give out cash for the 1st place of each group ( must be 10 or more cars per group..?? I know its not alot of money but its enough money for gas you wasted.
Just a thought..

I agree. Just think if they did that on regular weekend as well, just have a street class where they break it up like that, would be awesome. Instead of racing some 19 second grand am that gets the same exact time each run, we would be racing cars which are close to our own. I would definately be more apt to go out and race. With Street Legal days, it is definately fun to just go out and make runs. But, it would add to it to have a shootout type deal like you are saying. This way we would maybe have the people that say it is only worth drag racing once coming out for the competition.

Yes, we already discussed this the other day remember? just trying to figure out the final details of how to lay it out. Rock Falls sets up brackets exactly like this, but we as a shop were going to try offer some sort of payout/prize to each class winner.
We'll have a thread started once all the details are figured out. But i think we may have to cut the car count minimum down as 10 cars/class i dont think is doable for every class.

I had plans on doing more to my car (turbo & paint possilby shave door handles) but I know priorities have changed where my money is going... paying off current bills get a truck and house... truck will be to haul remodeling house project material's... i'm single income person so it's gonna be fix up an older house or buy an unfinished house and finish it myself...

So, why don't you guys just meet up wherever you feel like it? call people and tell them to come out. It's so easy. For instance, I know of several weekly meetings at various locales around the cities. I have the option of going out to car gatherings at least 3 times a week, more if I were to search or care. The activites vary from having half off apetizers at applebums or "hot racing action" or cruising/sitting watching cars at porky's, and so forth.
don't be sad because something isn't happening, get people's numbers and have them come out. i'll show you how it's done when I get there late august. Have no fear!
edit: stop talking about what your dad did or bought. that's gay.

We know how to get shit together, we just don't have any place to go like in the cities. We get meets together and cruises every once in awhile. There just isn't enough interest in it. That's all we are saying.
