    Stretch, you sir are correct.. It all starts with those who show up!! Some of us just can't afford to build full blow race cars.. And most everyone in ATL wants to drive these cars daily.. It does not go hand in hand, you can not have both.. You can have a nasty street car, but it will never be a daily..

    As for the stance bull shit, I can hardly comment, it don't take rocket science to see that a car with that amount of neg camber is not safe to drive!!

    i really hope it changes though. i like to see the stance cars and i have quite a few customers that are in to the stance thing, so im not bashing it at all. just wanna see the racing scene grow. this is very discouraging. every year, every event, less and less shops come out with a race car and to compete. Midnight ATL Performance, Mainstream Performance, MSS Racing (even though Matt is independent and not a shop), Southern Speed, thats all i can remember right now. We have a lot of shops in ATL, where is everybody at. Even the kills forum on IA has gone to shit cause aint nothing to talk about cause aint nobody doing shit. and when the people who actually doing something get on here and post something, they get bashed and criticized by a bunch of sideline keyboard not doing nothing ass wanna be racers. This shit makes me wanna say fucc it sometimes. its pathetic

    Damn homie......tell us how you really feel. LOL.

    You can have a nasty borderline race car and drive it daily but you have to make sacrifices. Depending on the platform you may have to more more sacrifices then less.

    i dont remember any of those because i never went to "meets". THe only meet i really attended was the old FUDD meets thrown by Import Lounge up on the northside by Wild Bills. I went to NOPI like 3 times and it was mostly for work.

    I would say the STANCE thing bled in from the 240 crowd around the 2006 mark.

    Whats the point in building a car who you going to race? Everybody wants to buy a bunch of high dollar parts and flash them around to look like somebody . They never get used trust me i know because i buy half of them for little of nothing .

    People get to butt hurt on here also. Im sorry but shit talking is racing . Its part of it . If you ever heard me and bobby go at it you would never think that we bought parts from each other on a regular basis lol. Come to twiggs county any weekend strecth you will see all the shit talking and grudge runs for 10,000 that you want to see but it want be hondas lol. Ive been talking to donney about his build for about a year and helped casey as much as i could but i still plan on talking as much shit as i can to both of them as soon as im finished with th new setp. Then if i win or loose im going to ask them were they want to go eat and pay for it not try to fight . Thats racing go home make your shit faster dont get mad because somebody elses shit, is in the wrong class or has slicks and you dont . Buy some damn slicks lol. I cant count how many times ive busted my ass at the track changing cv joints and stuff just to red light (or leave my dad at the track lmao )and loose but i still do it because thats racing . Even when i dont win the feeling you get trying is worth it . Not riding down the track stanced so everybody can see your car lol. If you can drive prove it put your shit in the race. I mean luis didnt win but he went 12.8 with a bone stock h2b thats something to be proud of . He has that car set up right and im sure his next car will be a beast.

    Before the scene died back when i was 21-22 everybody raced (street , track it didnt matter) If we was driving we was racing. I remember when steven blowed the head slap off his gsr but he ran a 10.9 roling through the light lol. Kids these days want to play video games instead of get there hands dirty. My nephews ask me how did you learn how to do so much. Because i got my ass out there and did it lol.
