Gosh Scott,
Here is a thread where you were talking about how awful 1/8 mile drags were:
https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/ford-forum-lounge/777431-nmra-bmp-where-all-local-cars-support.html

Todd has a stake in BMP. He was at the race last weekend, I talked to him for a little bit.

For me aside from the race taking less time 1/8th mile takes some of the very basic aspects of drag racing out. Not tearing your shit up for the back half of the track is part of it to me. Perhaps the 1/8th mile events have had more following but I am not convinced that is because it is better.

Who knows, it sucks to see the sport losing its luster, surely it is a product of the economy, and maybe it will cycle back in once again one of these days.

Two things about your reply, first that did not occur in 2012, it was more like 2007 so I'm not quite sure what was done to make the date change and secondly what's your point ? I'll educate you briefly on that very old post which actually makes my point about crickets in here. Firstly I was the one that came up with and organized every one of these events as well as have professional cars come to the events to attract crowds until TRack Event 19 so I had some basis for my gripe in the link you posted. The local shop support was crap so I called them out, guess what ? I got local shop support the next event.

Secondly the format of the forums with sub forums came from me to include the TRack Events forum so again I have basis for my crickets post, it has fallen hard here so don't get your feelings hurt as I am willing to bet this will get this forum more activity than it has seen in a while.

Harold,
The Tampa car scene has changed quite a bit.

You last posted in 2013, but you have been reading a TON of stuff on Tampa Racing..... and we appreciate it.

The buttheads from some other site were saying that when Tampa Racing set the record of 2,668 viewers at the same time on Tampa Racing.....the buttheads were saying that I was single handedly reading all 2,668 forums by myself! LOL So far they have failed to tell anyone how I was able to do that... lol

Not to worry, though, the maximum number of people viewing at their butthead car scene site was 90.......and that was when they first opened......

It takes more than hating someone on Tampa Racing .com to get people to a car site.
When I post on Tampa Racing, all 40 active members of some other car site come over to Tampa Racing .com to read what I post. and hundreds of people still read Tampa Racing forums every night......the butthead car site for some time has had zero readers and zero posters........
