Maybe they wouldn't be like the last autocross I went to--250 or so people (only a very small portion of them were there for any other reason than to show off their mAd sKIlZZ and pHAt RiDE to their friends), was there from morning till dark, got only two runs.... Too bad there was no Wiki to make people read before they could enter the lot. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) That's much like what the Autocross & RoadRacing forums on other boards become. More noise, less signal. Growth, quality growth, is great. Growth for the sake of growth is not. I've personally emailed the link to this site to many F-Body racers, both present and future. But a blanket, "Hey everybody, come join this site!" recruitment of anybody who happens to own an F-Body is the last thing we should do IMHO. When this site becomes the place for F-Body owners to come and ask, "what springs will lower their ride 4" so it looks cool cruising main but won't scrape bottom with their $5000, 2000lb stereo system and cost no money" is when it will loose its value for those who are here now.
