Lets get the ball rocking and rolling and prepare for the face to face with BADRAP. Please leave your weapons at home.
Well I dont think there has been anything even slightly resembling bad blood in at least 6-8 months now. And It sucks seeing you guys going through this stuff. We went through a very hard time about 4 months ago. LOTS of new members and the slow creep to mediocrity. More and more newbies telling us to change our stance on imports more profanity more porn images.. just really dropped us down about 5 pegs from where we wanted to be.
we (The core group) got togheter and decided that what we had decided in June of last year had WORKED but we as admins/Mods had become lazy and had not enforced that which made us strong. We clamped down it wasnt easy since we had to moderate our freinds some but it turned out great and now we are better than ever. But it hurt and it took a solid effort from EVERYONE to save it. We are changing some more things now to accomodate the numbers. We have 500 registered on the website which is deceiving but we have been running 100+ every freaking weekend now and turning into cliques is a real problem. But it has taken constant effort to get where we are. No offense to you guys but I believe at this minute in time we are the strongest car club in tampa Bay as far as member support goes. We have truly created a family. But it did have a price.
As far as the Leaving your weapons at home hmmm I have a concealed weapons permit.. I NEVER leave it at home
COme on out it IS dark which I dont like much but you guys can park next to us or with us. I have never met many of you and would like to meet. We really do have a great bunch of Guys and we arent really anti-import but by being domestic only it allows us to get rid of rice easier than if we DID encourage it. Heck the DSM guys will vouche for us I believe they have always felt at home among us.
We usually get there arounf 7-7:30 and stay till 10-10:30
