i can tell you that way back in the early 80's there was an import scene at ATCO alot of hispanic/ puerto ricans were heavy into Mazda wankle motors..the little B210 cars.. (look like a corolla but that is an insult like calling a duster... a nova") anyway..they are still die hard and I think Atco has the biggest import deal going..or did for many yrs.. I rememeber seeing low 10 second wankle motors manually shifted by hand...carry the wheels through 3 gears...the Carbs where as big as the motor.. miss a shift and the pass was over... but hit all the gears and mid 10's some VW's would show up and an occassional porsche i watched a 427 Vette (very warm street car) get smoked by a VW beetle..by 8 car lengths.. those import people are serious..and so are their women..

To sum up your question, it seems your out of touch with the reality of our current mainstream society. And im the SAME way!...But I understand it but that dont mean im into it or like it. A few years ago I was asked by a friend to move there new car/suv...Im used to a old mopar auto on the floor or the col. and a wiper and a heater switch....I almost broke the col. shifter off as it didnt move in the old mopar fashion. Hell I had my new powerstroke truck and after a year of not liking the wheel position a friend reached in and said, just adjust the dam thing.... Quote:
I read on another Forum that this event sold out and people were climbing the fence to get in. I don't understand the interest in these cars but at least the fans have some enthusiasm. Looking through the Maple Grove Schedule I noticed a new event. Latin American Drag Fest. [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] is this? What brand cars do the Latin Americans build? I think I am going to call Maple Grove and ask them if we can have a Redneck Cracker day. This is the first time I've seen a car event where it was about who attends and not about the type of vehicle the fans attending have in common?

I have allot of friends nda 7second range with their Imports. Tech in them cars is ridiculous, don't be scared. My close friend down here in florida is V.P. of the NSCRA (National Sport Compact Racing Assoc). I go n help out at these events when I can, n not to mention the women that show up, its like a party, theirs a D.J., a bathing suit contest, and the pay outs. My cousins company, is about to sponser a racing series threw the beverage company he works for. Don't hate someone that keeps the sport going, its racing ($$$), you should be glad, they sold out, keeps the track from shutting down. In closing thanks to them I'm making my car Turbo next month, catching up to what they have been telling me for the last 20 years, efi, turbo, computer, its a part of the times. LET me know when its redneck day, I'll come by, as long as its Drag Racing related I also was a import "HATER"

have a couple of friends with fast running imports i.e. low 11's and much faster. As much as I respect them for what they do, i still don't like imports...i mean they can't even hook, their e/t mph outcomes always make me laugh, and most all of the import guys I know talk way too much smack and think that a civic with a fartpipe is the fastest car in the world. Can't tell you how many times I've had guys tell me they will own my car, when all they eve know about my car is that its green I don't however mind their girls that hang around Just wish they would gravitate towards the real cars (muscle mopars!) instead of the rice burners (Although I can't complain since I have a very attractive girlfriend who LOVES my car). Me and a couple buddy's drive through a rice meet every wednesday night with lots of hotties- a couple of burnouts and revs usually do the trick to get the girls attention and piss off the boyfriends...had one ask me "can you do it again" and the boyfriend was furious at her LOL Im 21 by the way

We need to get back to the days where there weren't any special class of Americans. We were all just Americans.
That's a pretty thoughtless statement so remind me..how old are you? I still remember the riots in the 60's over civil rights. Real Americans(indians) were put on reservations over a hundred years ago and are still there. Never in America's history have we been "just Americans".
I'm proud of my Irish/German/American Indian, North/South heritage. So who's side should I take? Common sense tells me, we need to stop searching for ways to divide us.

I'd go , but I would have to wear a windbreaker with I.N.S. in big letters on the back of it just to see what happens

I don't know where you are comming from with "Who's side should I take"? That is my point. People are People. Why judge anyone just because of where they came from? I treat everyone the same when I first meet them.After that I treat them with the respect or disrespect that they deserve based on their own merits. The time I was refering to was in my youth. The 70's and 80's.This was a great time to live in America. Then we turned the corner.
