I also remember when this place was HUGE. I was just in Tampa last week (anna maria to be exact) but I got a good run with a civic out on 275 headed in to the aquarium. I dont think he really knew what to think when VQ altima with a family on vacation walked him. Anyway years ago I could have come here and probably found that person but now there is next to no activity here that really matters to most people other than a business.

 

Lots of things have changed. Here's my reply to someone who said approximately what you did.
Url's are there so you can read the actual posts. A lot of what was left on Tampa Racing.com by
former members coming back here with negatives and cussing has been cleaned up.
Chica,
I remember you from years ago related to a car tour similar to Floridarun and also some posting we did related to a huge car meet in Orlando. You asked what has happened. Here are a few URL's
where you can read for yourself and draw your own conclusions. There are some holes in some threads.......... when people asked to leave TR, some of their postings went away and some people on another website blame everyone but themselves for everything.... lol

Years ago Admin Zate said that the type stuff people were posting would drive people away from Tampa Racing.com

Zate was proven right when people quit posting. See post 14

So we had offered suggestions that as it turned out, our suggestions were used to create another website. Websites are not created in 30 seconds. When I pointed out that a former moderator was advertising his new site on TR, he banned me. See post 2 of this:

posts #1 and #10......notice how someone was treated who offered a suggestion.... lol What do you think is the result of treating local businesses in the way that you see? What is the result as far as businesses sponsoring anything car-related?

Here's a recent threat sent to me. Threatening people on TR not only hurts TR, but it also hurts another site, and it hurts the car scene in general:

Bob to let you know, your card has been drawn. There are eyes on you and at every event you "attend" or roll out you create, you sir will be the center of attention as everyone will make you feel like the village idiot you are. Have a fine day.

Chica,
I'm sure you have been in contact with former Tampa Racing.com members (who you once thought were friends) and they want you to go to their site..........do they seriously think the examples they have posted on Tampa Racing.com that show who they really are, will help anyone?

 

Every forum eventually goes silent and a new one emerges.

 

Maybe so.

 

Tampa Racing.com members may feel good that people come here expecting every driver to be on
Tampa Racing.com, but realistically not every driver is on this site.

 

10 years ago if you had a modded car in the Tampa area you were more than likely on here. I've never lived close to Tampa and I'm on here.

 

Lots of things have changed. The bone stockers who used to give the modded drivers crap
are not on here either. lol
