                Yes and no. IMO the race dates were WAY to spread out for the buzz to get going in the import community this season. Add to that lots of people having mechanical problems and whatnot and I don't think the racing at the track was as good as it could have been.

                Overall though, I think the scene has matured. Still a ways to go of course, but more mature none the less. Lots of people adding more go fast parts the way it seems and people actually are starting to not drive like idiots on public roads. The show scene was pretty good this year as many of us attended the Tintmasters show as well as shows in Devils Lake, Winnipeg, and Mpls among other places.

                All in all a good year for cars and car people, but a bad year for racing.

                      The Supra is gone and the Dsm I am not sure about. But like I said 10cars at best. Besides Smalls hatch, which is in the cities now, there really isnt any import cars here. Cavaliers and the local beat up bitch cars that everyone has owned from time to time that will never run.
                      The sad thing is, that most of these kids wont even go and race, most will just rev on you and tell you there stock Prelude runs 14.5 stock and talk mad uneducated shit.

                      Cant wait to get out of this Shit Hole.

                                I think the last fast Dsm in Bismarck was Nick Thompsons old one??? White? If I remeber correctly.
                                3 owners later and It probally still doesn't have a transmission in it.
                                Its hilarious when someone even buys a fast car somewhere else, cause no one here can fix, or tune the damn thing ever.

                                      Wouldn't hurt to start working on this problem now so we can look forward a decent summer and maybe spark some interests. Everyone should list best places and why they think that, and try not to shoot down any possibilities because options are very limited.

                                      Hallorann: Nothin'! There ain't nothin' in Fargostreet. But you ain't got no business goin' in there anyway. So stay out! You understand? Stay out!

                                        I'm headin overseas at the end of the month, so I'm already scouring the internet for parts, haha. I finally got off the summer rotation, so I will be at the track this year.

                                          2 things..

                                          1: all it takes is one group of 'street racers' to get caught to exponentially increase the 'heat' on the autmotive scene in the area. I won't feel bad when (you) come bitching next summer about how you were 'targeted' and get pulled over for any little thing.

                                          2: I know you guys are going to do it.. so here's a better idea. Take it to a private forum...
