I always tell people this when fast and the furious came out you could literally see the change in a matter of weeks. After that "street racing" was never the same.

Glad someone else noticed that too, I never saw a riceburner ever on the streets till that movie came out. After that, all the imports decided to crash the party complete with NOS and Eiback stickers and wings so ridiculous, felt like a runway instead of a freeway, kinda like what you saw at tx2k12

They weren't exactly anxious to host the crowd this time around, all it takes is one screw up, that wont be hard

The omni was very tame this year. Other than the traffic jam in the parking lot after frankensteins it was very smooth. The police made people leave and I did not see anything stupid going on. I bet they have it at the omni again.

forget about the low riders swerving and bouncing through the lot while at miami subs? there was plenty of hood and idiots there also when it got shut down.

This is the same stuff that is happening at Scheid Diesel Extravaganza in Terre Haute Indiana. It is the single largest diesel motorsport event (drag racing, dyno, sled pulls, show and shine and vendor alley)

Kids with daddys money go up there to get drunk, party, and blow smoke while the rest of us are there to compete and meet with other competitors. People should need a application to buy cool stuff...if your a tool you cant.

Thats why I said when I started going. There are always idiots at most meets but now it's just getting stupid.

I am willing to talk to Houston Performance Driving and see if I can setup a TX2K12.5 meet and track event because alot of people couldnt make it. Not to mention,I got my *** sunburnt at the Sealy track and i do not burn at all nor have i ever burned. So anyone down for this? I can start a thread and get things rolling for a huge meetup at Royal Purple Raceway Baytown,or Sealy,We can have our meet the same day,and make the cruise to Baytown, they have a huge parkinglot, the cops cant mess with us there.
Or Sealy is good too. Any Suggestions???
