15 to run
10 for spectators

just clarification that it's not 25 to run.

That's correct, Sherlock. Either you pay 10 bucks just to watch OR 15 bucks to watch and run.

I thought you Dallas boys had a track.

Actually, I am a San Antonio boy that moved to Dallas for career opportunity. We do have a track. Several. BTW, I know the owner (Todd Z) of San Antonio Raceway as a family friend/racing aquaintance and we are going to hold our Evolution Shootout at SAR. So get ready, it's in May. Dynos, drags, autocross.

BTW, when the sentence said it's 10 to get in and 15 to run all night, it wouldn't be outrageuos to assume that there's a 10 dollar "cover." Think about that, Detective.

Nah, just abrasive. I'm still holding a grudge. The NTEC boys have rubbed me the wrong way. Normally, I'm a decent person...just not around here. Some of these people have spoiled the fun for me. They've made me want to hang out with the Mustang and Supra guys...

We've never even had conversation with you. Man, you need some counseling or something.

Get over it. You're worse than my GF. A grudge? PLEASE. For what? Our posts to each other? There's more to life, buddy.

Chris you really should meet the guys from Dallas and NTEC before you come to some of the conclusions you're making. I have and I can tell you that they are good people who like to have fun and are serious about their cars. I think you got it all wrong dude!

I wasn't necessarily reffering to you. Thanks for the personal attack though! When I mentioned "NTEC", I meant it as a generalized organization. So, I placed you as a stereotype due to your past attacs on other(s). What I am reffering to specifically are yours and other NTEC members attacs on Al. I have no personal affiliation with Al nor do I endorse any of his products, hell I don't even know him or have met him. I just thought that it was rather ****ty. Now, with that said, I own a business and go to great lengths to satisfy any and all customers and I am an expert in product knowledge for the service I provide. I would HATE it if any of my customers started talking poopoo about me privately or directly concerning my services. See my point? I consider it slanderous and sleethingly low, read: immature. There is a caveat, however. If a person provides inadequate or misrepresented services they SHOULD be called out. But what does that mean? It means that PROPER measures should be taken to correct the issues involved. IMHO, public defamtion is not the answer. If I have a problem with you I will let you know, personally. Believe me when I tell you that. Some people call it old fashioned, but I call it respect.

Since the advent of such public forums, respect for others has become non existent. What a pity. No wonder the rest of the world doesn't like Americans. We're brash and bold to the point of being obnoxious.

No offense to you, but if you (or anybody for that matter) said those things about me the outcome would be brutal. I'm not speaking in physical terms, but legally. More often the pen speaks louder that words. To me it is just shameful, and perhaps others might see it that way as well. To me it all boils down to maturity and doing the right thing. It's about being a man. Whew! HEAVY.

Yea, Bob...Maybe you're right. If they are like the guys around here then all will be fun! As infrequently as I check the site, perhaps I have jumped to conclusions.

I am a former business owner and now hold a decent corporate job with an auto manufacturer. I would think that if you are good at what you do as a small business owner you would pay more attention to details of situations you comment about. My situation with Al was a personal one in which proper measures for resolution were taken. It was brought public and supported by my FRIENDS (and Dynoflash ex-customers) more than just a gang thing. If you had payed attention to the topic, you would have known and realized that. I would have thought more of you. The situation has been resolved as well as it could have been and really has no place being brought up again by someone not really involved. I appreciate your concern, however.
We, as NTEC, are not here to please everyone on this website. We are a tight knit group of Evolution owners and friends as well. There is not a single member of our club that I would not consider a friend of mine. We all have a passion for cars, all happen to own an EVO, and all are interested in the pursuit of handling, g-forces, sweet stereos, and GIANT underbody NEONs (a prerequisite for membership - JK). Jason and I started this club to bring nice discounts to fellow EVO owners, give a structure to all of us who participate to meet, have work done, and share information. I think that it is a great thing. Please don't poop on it. I look forward to meeting you, though. I hope you can make it up for TurboTrix being in town Feb 5 and 6. Hell, I even want you to join NTEC. It's more than you think.
