    Its a hobby for tons of people and NOTHING wrong with that. So every car needs to be made for the track?

    I don't think so.

    the Motorsport nationals (NOPI)..whatever IMO is for "show" cars. lambo doors, TV's in the headrests, shag carpet interior ect,ect

    Tunerfest is exactly that "tuners" experimenting with different engine swaps, built motors, suspension setups, rim offset selections. but with a gutted interor (either to save weight or it was ratty anyway and the owner threw the money into the engine bay and a roll cage)

    I think thats the difference and that is where the division lies! both sides of those feel they are not being judged properly at shows.

    I witnessed it at the very last NOPI nationals (what was it 2-3 years ago)

    2 acura integras side by side

    1--- integra all the "JDM" stuff, boosted B18 lowered on some rota's, recaro race seats gutted back seat. JDM front end conversion, JDM side markers, nice paint

    2--- integra, wide body kit with candy paint, lambo doors, TV's and speakers all over the place, huge park bench spoiler. factory LS motor with a shiny header and a CAI.

    the wide body integra would win EVERYTIME, even though IMO both put in the same amount of work and money, they just took the cars in 2 different directions

    I think THIS is where the division lies, maybe im wrong....

    Even though, What you are saying is correct you are missing the point of This thread.

    This thread is to call out some of the shot callers on ELITE CC..

    Nothing to do with any show...

    Those shot callers are nothing... They are doing what some of us did years ago..only difference is, some of us back then never acted like we were the shit...

    Some of us had real sponsors, not discount sponsors, some of us were in magazines... some of us won awards hard earn... tough comp was still out there.. Some of us were shinning when some of them were in the sidelines .. But we never bragged or acted like king ding a ling..

    They acted like TFS was shit.. Thats fine, but they have to remember, when they started their little car club and were a bunch of ricers, we supported them.

    Granted, we didnt ask them for their support, we didnt expect them to support us either.. but they shouldve just kept there dick suckers shut..


    I will give you an example ..

    The International All stars - a real marketing team - they did not attend TFS.. But they supported us through AMERICAN RADIO..

    John Marsh from the All Stars made sure the support was their... He let us know the reason why they could not attend TFS... They acted professional instead of getting online and bashing TFS...

    Thats the difference between GREAT and Average..

    Elite is just an average CC.. they only have a couple of cars that stand out and thats because of their crayon box execution...


    Paul/Myself Show respect where respect is given on a Business side of things...


    Anyways, really who cares..

    TFS > all..

    Yes.. But some people still do it like back in the late 90's early 2k..

    Prime example of the new generation of show cars..

    Rx - 7 @ TFS that won BOS.. I mean, car was bad ass... No cars on Elite can touch it.

    I mean the car is a show stopper.. with Enough Mods to kill any other car on a score sheet.. car was executed damn well.


    Damn, this thread took me back..

    hahahhahahaha

    After a serf like me was allowed to cast a glance at Elite's website... Holy shit.


    Only confirms why I hate car clubs. Nittany's and some other guy talking about how they have the "Honda" class on lock and their only competition is each other???? Except for maybe that guy coming from Miami.

    Not if I was judging the show... Both of those shit-boxes would have been laughed out of the stadium. Damn near everywhere I went there was somebody who's shit didn't stink. I maybe a prick (which oddly enough should qualify me for admittance to the club) but fuck all that noise. Enjoy your circle-jerk while it lasts.


    At first I thought this guy was cool, but...

    Did they "ever" pay us for best team last year? It was $1000.00 and we were going to give half to Bret because it was so close after Leisa's passing.
    Damn, a stand-up guy... Nothing but respect, Buuuuutttt later he slips.

I told her I would call her back as soon as I know the count.
    HOLY SHIT MSN WAS FREE FOR THEM!!!! That's like a $65 dollar value for each of them, all that is required is to sell out your morals.

    BTW: Yes MSN did pay them... So they did pay at least one group last year.

    Well guess they were way wrong. That's totally unprofessional of them to bash an event especially related to this site. They could have just said " we were invited by msn first" and left it at that

    but they stooped to msn level of professionalism and douchebaggery

    Is the person in question a long standing IA member? Surely not everyone from Elite would bash the site or the event, right?

    I guess everyone in some way has bad blood with someone else. Though its not professional to cut others down, but we all cant be professional all the time.

    With that being said. im down for pics of ol girl!

    Does anyone have pics from MSN so we can point and laugh?


    The thing about MSN was that they were plugging radio ads trying to pull ANYTHING out. So i'm sure a bunch of DUB garbage, old muscle cars and Joe Schmoes Ford Five-Hundred were showing up. At the point it's hard to even compare it. TFS was aimed at a specific crowd...and to me...a better crowd. I don't care to see 157 Escalades with 24" ugly as shit boat anchors, I don't care to see jacked up shitty trucks and 4,000 sport bikes.......I wanted to see the cars that make our scene move and grow.

    I know I only made it out for about an hours worth of TFS....but I drove an hour knowing I was going to get there as things wrapped up...but I didn't care, I just wanted to come by and show my support

    WoW!!!! For many year we supported everything IA has done, IA supported us as a group or atleast I thought. Myself as a person take this as a direct bash. Paul Do you really want to go head up against me? You or Julio could have called me on the phone or stopped by the shop but you want to call me out on this pre-teenage website? I need to call John Marsh at Allstars to learn how to run a team? Please John takes all his orders from the other Black Man Bill who in turn takes all the money. There arent a team they are a business. We do this for fun, a hobby not a business. Just for the record John was at MSN but where were the rest of the ALLSTARTS? NOT at TFS lol. Anyways when you grow some balls (PAUL or JULIO or anyone on here) you know where I am and most of you have my number....

    I have no problem telling you to your face what I think as I would Jeremy at the last varsity meet if he would of showed up. We have supported you guys in the past but you went on talking mad shit about us on numerous occasions this year leading up to MSN. I didn't take anything out of context it is in your post not including other shit said to other members of IA and sponsors of mine. Its fine you did MSN for the money but don't think for a second if your going to talk shit about IA or Julio/I that we won't call you out for it.

    This has nothing to do w/ your club as a whole just you guys who want to run you mouths. So who is "pre-teenage" now?

    May have to start referring to the Motorsport Crashinals by a different acronym other than MSN. I've heard someone is getting upset......
