Thank you sir :bowdown Couldn’t have done it without you fellas. There wasn’t a day in the last 30 days that we didn’t get a member, and on average it was about 3 a day. Our average sign up rate since the first day of opening is actually increasing. I don’t advertise besides the newspaper, my own doing and a few little planned ideas to let people know about us. The season is picking up, and as expected a lot more people will know about us this year. Non of the biker community know about Shift yet, and as they sing up it should make it a more interesting demographic. We continuously break all previously posted records, and within a month I’m expecting for us to be the busiest local forum (post wise at least). We will tie and break Rspeeds count this month, and AUG’s next month, and all within just about half a year (offseason mostly). Thank you all one more time. And I apologize for any drama that got personal or out of control :ahh ---

After the Rootbeer Cruise, you will notice a big increase in members too… it happened with NADS. They gained quite a few members right after the cruise. ---

youre doign a great job, Vlad. keep it up man 🙂 I tell ppl about the site if they a nice car or are into cars. i think we started the new season off pretty well with the first gathering out in the park. we should plan for more of those and definitely get more vinyl for cars to kidna get some exposure out there. cruises would be a nice thing to do also. people will see a buncha cars rollin by with the same vinyl on em and theyre bound to at least check it out ---

props vlad! btw i duno bout these other cheap asses, but i really do enjoy the site… whether its knowing whats going on, or where people are going to be… things coming up, funny stuff to read when im bored or whatever, i think you should have some sort of donation thing. Obviously your not going to charge to be a member, but i think a donation button wouldn’t be out of line. I know i wouldnt mind putting up some support money, and for sure the next time you host an event get people to chip in. ---
