I used to live in Overland Park, KS from 1995 until 2000, there wasn't much of a scene while I was there at all. I lived in the Ft Riley area prior to that from 1990 to 1995 and the only scene there were maybe 3 cars that were modded out and what is funny anyone from that area during that time still knows those cars. I put rims on my 91 hatch and everyone knew me from that day on?

Moved down here in 2000 and found out the scene had been here forever and a day practically.

To me it sounds like the laws are more strict where the scene is bigger.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

i don't know what the scene was like back then, but it's actually not bad now. our local site has 14,000 users, and a large portion of them race. granted, it's nowhere near as big as tampa, but it gets the job done.

as for the ranger... i had a holset on it, but i'm going bigger. i've got the built t-5 sitting in the garage waiting to go in too.

it's sad, really... i've got a garage, but all my cars stay in the driveway. i've got 2 2.3 turbos on stands, an sho engine on another stand, all the new suspension parts on the floor waiting to go in, 2 t-5's, 5-6 miscellaneous turbos, and more miscellaneous parts then i know what to do with.
man! where were u when i blew my old 2.3 about 8 months ago! lol

Well I used to live in Wichita, and yeah there used to be a pretty decent scene. Before the F&F came out and all that hype streetracing was not really a big deal to the cops. They would just pretend that nothing was going on, even though everyone in the city knew what went down at West St.

But eventually it got all huge and there would be a ton of ppl there just to hang out and be part of the 'scene'.

15 year old drunk chicks + loud hondas = media coverage and police crackdowns.

They started to get alot tougher on it and had to make examples out of people. Cars were getting impounded left and right, they started bringing out the choppers, undercovers in modded cars with videocameras, etc. Pretty much like they do here.

So basically all it takes is for alot of people to start doing it, or for someone to get hurt in an accident that gets alot of media coverage. Location isnt really a big factor IMO
