I'm not part of this yes sir crowd, but maybe if you were to go to a serca event you'd think differently. I've seen the cars down here plenty of times, so I went to Chicago to see what all the fuss is about, and I've had more fun up there than any meet I've been to down here. You get to meet people you've made friends with on the forum, you get to see some new cars, and you go somewhere else, nice change of scenery.

Dre, you know we're friends, but you're being a bit stubborn about this whole convention thing, and I'm sorry you don't realize that when you protest, and do your own convention down here, you're acting a little childish about the whole thing


PS: hello from Charlotte, NC

Well why the hell cant they come down to Miami and see new cars they have not seen and meet friends they have met on the board.

Again Serban there is another side to this.

Lastly let me say this in oposition to you coment. Show me the most beautifull model and show me the man who has been having sex with her for the last 2 years and I will show you a guys who is tired of having sex with her.

You are seeing the same damn crotch here in Miami thats what you get everyday so when you go some where else you see something diffrent and for that time the new crotch feels great.

Well these guys have been seeing eachother for a long time so let them come and see new people.

Thats the truth in your face.

Dont be affraid to piss of your Forum members Serban, speak up. Just keep going with the flow I guess that is what is easiest for you.

You say that car meets are not as good why because they are set up for one day. What are we going to setup a 4 day meet for between ourselves when the other forum members aint going to come.

A 2 day event may be good, like a an " SE-R " weekend.

GOD knows thats the truth!!! the same cooch get's boring!



i've read the SERCA thread...and i can honestly see where you (andreas) are coming from, in regards to a check & balance system.

When money is involved, especially contributions...their should be accountability. Andreas brought up some great points about some of the funds "probably" being mishandled. And that's expected when someone/or goup has power and the money at their discretion. But it' doesn't mean that it will be tolerated. I commend Andreas for having the SERCA heads "auditted", it is something that should be done, repeatedly!

As for FL being left out of the scene of SERCA...i have heard the stories from here and from Rob before. and it is pretty f*ked up that FL has been passed even when members had inquired about trying to get a meet setup down here.

IMO, Andreas is just trying to make things fare and balanced for everyone in the community, and nothing is wrong with that. I know many who have dealt with Andreas before and from their experiences he is a straight-up person. Same scenario here...he is being open about the concerns and is just letting everyone know he's fed up with SERCA.

and until SERCA can back their stance on the claims that's ben made against them with proper eveidence.....this situation on a whole is viable.

......why not just have it later months so people can go to serca and then go to SFLSERC..... that way the people over here can go there and people there can come here. and eventually if they see that FL has a big enough turnout, then SERCA can come to Moroso prob

I wish I could make the Markham meet... but I'm still up here in VA for another few months until I move back home to Tampa.

If Florida is going to hold an event on a road course, that event will have to occur whenever the track is available. Good tracks are booked well in advance - sometimes years in advance. To get a good track on the same day as SERCA's convention may not be possible. I won't get into the costs involved as I'm no expert, but I know they're a lot more than $1500 to put on a day at a road course. I'm guessing the $30 per person was for Moroso's dragstrip? If it is, cool. Sounds like a fun time... but it won't draw a lot of the people who would otherwise go to the SERCA convention or make them feel "pain" that they had to miss out on our thing. They've made it quite clear that if it doesn't have a road course track day involved, they're not interested anways.

Its called make a stand.

Where have you been since these conventions started. I know for a fact you just got your DL not to long ago, while these conventions were going down and we were asking for them to come here.

Thats why you get a year or two to get things together.

You go around to the shops for sponsership, ( there contributions become tax deductable as advertizemnet ) you go the to people attending the meet with a base figure on costs give them a broad view on expenditures. Make a plan and see how many people will come then ask for donations an move on with a next plan.

You are selling food and drinks there so that is profit coming in for the event. It is not that hard.

When I had my shop I would have gladly thrown in some money on this as it would have tax deductable.

This can be done very easily with 1-2 years lead time.
