Its already posted on the TFCC forums

I am one of the two forum admins over there, what is your screenname there and I will activate your account

I use to be the admin of the club as well, and the club is sadly on life support and thats probably being generous

[firehawk238]

its the same name that i use on here. so why is the club doing so poorly? is no one taking the time to keep it going? several of the TFCC members are going to be attending this event in June, and if you think it can help out your car club, by all means get everyone to come. worst thing that could happen is a lot of people have a good time! lol

I activated your account over there, you should be able to post now.

I haven't been active in the club for probably 2 years now. There was too much drama going on and most of the mature members let their club memberships expire and got inactive with the club. I really don't know if there are 10 active members within the club now

[firehawk238]

i can easily see how immaturity could kill it. i couldnt help but notice that your profile says your the anti-SLP club president. may i ask why? just curious.

so i guess a real question i should ask you would be wether or not becoming a memeber of TFCC would be a waste of money or not?

oh, names karl by the way. feel free to PM or IM me anytime. there are no car guys in my platoon, so i dont get to talk much about em anymore, its quite sad! lol

The SLP thing is just a joke around here with a few people, but I have had 2 horrible experiences with them and refuse to trade with them ever again. There is a lot of anti SLP here as well.

As bad as I hate to say it, it would be wasting your money to join TFCC currently. There are still a core group of us that hang out, but nothing formal or "official".

Preston here, most call me P or Y2K is fine as well. Nice to meet you as well Karl. I pretty much live here

[SiggyZ]

Welcome aboard! I'm also one of the TFCC people and yes, the club is next to non existant right now.

[firehawk238]

ive become quite the squatter on firehawk.org. lol im always on there talkin to the other members, and tryin to put together this gathering in june. not an easy task, and certainly not as easy as i thought it might be.

still so much i have to do to my hawk once i get back stateside before i can even consider running it at Tulsa Raceway.

sorry about the double post. it wasnt showin me the first on where i asked about TFCC membership until after i posted the second one. lol

[firehawk238]

oh, by the way Y2K and siggy, i love your cars. very nice color!

Don't worry bout the double post, I can fix it

What all needs to be done to your Hawk and when do you return home?

Siggy/Drew is one of my best friends as well

My car is far superior to his though

[firehawk238]

well, when i baught my hawk, it was damned near perfect for a daily driver that is 13 years old bearing 96k on the odemeter, but it does have a few blemishes. has a very small (dime size) whole in the left side of the drivers seat back from previous owner getting in and out, and a very small crack on front marker light corner on the nose. other than that just a few rock chips up front, and a very light scratch on the drivers door. got a body shop quote for it, but was not happy with the way they qoted it, and the seat is going to be taken care of in the next few days. found a full set of matching hawk wheels correct for my year(which is near impossible) and two of them will get mounted with Nitto NT555Rs and then ill have a TPIS rear axle girdle installed to try and keep the 10 bolt from blowing apart at the strip. other than that, just some window tint, and new speakers.

i should be reaching the states in about two weeks, but wont get my leave till end of may to early june time frame.

[SiggyZ]

Thank you. Its my third Pewter car and his second. lol

oh, by the way Y2K and siggy, i love your cars. very nice color!

[SiggyZ]

Perhaps, but mine has fewer swirl marks.

My car is far superior to his though

[firehawk238]

no animosity between you two is there?

[firehawk238]

So how many hawk owners are in TFCC, and for that matter on this board?

[Y2KPewterSS]

There is the thread on the local forum. 3 Hawk owners immediately come to mind that post regularly on the forum. I know there are more though.

[firehawk238]

so what kind of track times are you two putting down?
