ok, now im going to chime in. ive been on this site since it was first introduced and have watched every meet single handedly be destroyed by ricers and wannabe's catching wind of us having a good spot and taking it over, blaring music and burning tires. im so sick of it, it makes me want to give up my passion. i thought QSL would be good, and it was for 2 or so years. now its gone down the shitter. it began its descent into crappiness when they first brought out the karaoke machine. sure it was fun for a week or two, but then non-TR people starting coming outside, pushing us out from our own area. we were all friends with the outside waitstaff and some of us even hung out with them outside the venue. once the numbers dwindled, they moved the karaoke inside the place and we slowly started returning to QSL catching wind that the place stopped sucking so bad. then there was the sunglass hut, sticker booth and classic cars in our areas. we were furious. then came the DJ. and then shit hit the fan. the assholes started coming into the parking lot in droves; squealing tires, revving their motors, etc. and now instead of policing the people, they decide to charge for parking?! we all overlooked the shitty inside food service, the worse food and the shitty drinking policies in an effort to keep semblance of the one good spot we thought we had. and now they want to deface us, catagorize us and segregate us? fuck that. i know i wont go there again untill i know its back to the way it was.

and now some random 'team ssp' is going to make it right? who are you guys? you have no influence in this feild. noone knows who you are. what have you contributed to the scene? "oh but were going to provide a safe haven for saturday nighters"... yeah right. you know who is going to show up to a meet like this. you know the crowds you will attract. why do you think TR picked thurs night? so we wouldnt be intermingled with the pathetic, mindless fops driving the streets on sat night. not too mention that you hear everyones complaints of them turning thurs nights into 'show' nights and you still are going to eventually charge to come there and have shows? why.. so you can bank? what happened to just wanting to contribute to the betterment of the scene? why not, instead of acting as an enabler for retardation, promote respect and disipline?

you guys make me sick. we started there as just a common meeting ground for friends that live too far away from each other to meet regularly and it was nice catching faces you hadnt seen in a while. on the flip side, it was also nice establishing business contacts and meeting new people. now its been perverted and twisted into another mindless car show generated to please the masses and ruin it for those who originally started there.

you guys have your show, get your 15 minutes of sellout fame and break ground where noone has ever tried previously. omg.. you guys totally nailed it on the head!! hold a LEGAL car meet on a satruday night?>! i wonder why noone else has ever tried?!@#!!

then, once it gets over run, fails, and you are left to cry about how it wasnt supposed to be like that, youll be on here, too, bitching about those who ruin good things, fully unaware that you contributed to the problem. so have fun with your little car meet and dont come back to TR untill its successful for a few years.
+1 zillion for Taylor

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.

Thumbs down

I went like 2 or 3 weeks ago i guess it was the week after all went down, and there was no DJ and no cones pretty quiet actually, we went in to get some drinks and a friend of mine was working and she told us that TR is no longer aloud to have the TR meet on thursdays because we are too "noisy", as what she was told. I mentioned it to a friend of mine that goes down there every week and he told me to go read this post to see what had happened. And I agree with almost everyone on here, it was the place to go on thursdays averyone got along you would see some nice cars then a few months ago it got bad. I just bought a brand new car and wouldnt want to walk away from it cuz some punk asshole would hit it cuz none of them know how to drive. You have little 16 year olds that had just gotten there licenses the day before, driving around the parking lot trying to show off, im sorry im not there to get ran over or have my car smashed into cuz tehre trying to back in and can not what so ever. Also there coming in blaring there "expensive" stereos and getting everyone yelled at by security because we are too loud when its not even the TR people its the punk "kids" that where driving by and saw people hanging out and called up thier "crew" and ruined the whole experience for everyone. I went every thursdays till it started getting crazy then it just wasnt fun. They started to bring in trailors of crap to sell and then got that rude annoying DJ that just likes to hear himself talk there and that just ruined it, I dont know if anyone agrees but he was just irritating. It's sad when it started out you would see no "qsl security" then about 3 months ago theres guys walking around in orange shirts that say security, that shows its getting out of hand and QSL knows that so they hired guys to walk around and pretty much babysit us. And its sad that a few punk kids had to ruin it for everyone, trying to bring drama and call people up there to meet so they can fight. I just wish there was some way we could make them leave so it could go back to being a fun night to hang out and talk with everyone but that wont happen and pretty soon they will be kicking people out and getting the police involved because they are fed up with the crap, and I would be too. Just hope theres another place that has good food, drinks and a big parking lot for us to hang out cuz ill tell you and everyone will agree, if there isnt a place for all the car people to hang out at there going to be on the road finding places and racing and getting into alot of trouble.
