Since I was an active member this place is much different.

What the hell happened to free-4-all?

What happened is that after asking members of Tampa Racing to offer suggestions for improving
Tampa Racing, Rey and his butthead buddies, when they could no longer drive people away from Tampa Racing,
started their own car website.

While Tampa Racing was setting records for number of people reading on Tampa Racing at one time,
the buttheads car site hit a maximum of 90 people.

The buttheads maintained dual memberships and constantly came over to Tampa Racing to tell TR how to run their site.
The buttheads left links to their car site all over Tampa Racing. Most of the links have been removed, and the buttheads
have also been removed. Tampa Racing has National sponsors who don't want to see their ad next to some 17 year
old punk using cusswords.

The car scene has changed. The butthead site has gone under.
Tampa Racing is thriving with hundreds of people reading TR every night.
Take a look at some of TR's 40+ forums. No matter what your interest, it's probably posted on Tampa Racing.

That all sounds like typical TR drama. I've been around long enough to know. I miss free-4-all

When the buttheads left, they took their drama with them.
Then they killed the butthead car site.
A general principle: If your car site is based on insulting another car site, you will not survive.
