A few years ago the scene was quite different, everything was more layed back, and competition wasn't as fierce. Oh well, we'll run again this year.
Lets do it at the track, that way you have a fighting chance  .

I'm still as layed back as ever. More so now a days. I think everyone else's got competitive. I just love seeing cars run don't matter if I'm racing or if I'm winning or getting my Arse kicked(kicked most of the time). I mod my car when I can, with what I can, and how I want.
Josh's You've always been IMO one of the better drivers out there. And even though your cars weren't the most modified you were always faster then you should be. Hell look at your 3s. Still IMO setting the standards 13.0 is awsome for what's done to your car.
Nash, Hell I heard Brent tell me he ran a 20G with stock manifold to low 11's (back when I was asking him to fix my archer manifold). Think Nash might be the next Brent Rau?... who knows, could be the way things are shaping up... But in anycase I wish him the best of luck. God knows he's put enough time, $$$, Sweat into this hobby.. It's about time he's gotten the numbers he been shooting for.
Someday I might get to that point. I might have to put down as much horsepower as Shep to run an 11 but Hell I really don't care. I'm in it for the fun.
I love driving my car (cash flow for Gas dependent these days though). And for me 1/4 mile isn't everything. I like meeting people and hearing other peoples experiences. I like to chit chat and socialize. Hell that's why why Kris Ali, Gesse Geiken and I started the Buffalo Wild Wing Tuesdays. It's from those gatherings that MIAC was formed. From there it was Xrated, MNSR, then dsmstyle.
I look forward to this summer to watch people run and to see what people have done with there cars. I feel lucky just being able to participate doesn't matter if I'm winning or loosing. Hope to be able to race with everyone this summer. Think an outing like the old days might be in order for the new year. I even got the camcorder back to shoot the video's again.
