We're growing, the events and scenes are changing, and we're trying to adapt by establishing some basic rules. Help us out; do the right thing.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

We do not encourage or evoke illegal activity of any kind, including "street racing." We make auto enthusiast DVDs that document various gatherings, events, shows, meets, and goings-on. We're all about performance enthusiasm with safety and common sense so no one gets hurt.

We'd prefer that everyone "take it to the track." Reality is that doesn't always happen. We sometimes document the goings-on, but never participate, setup, evoke or otherwise influence them. We will not even cover "racing in traffic during the day," as Pat from Waldorf explains in DVD #1 SMOKE, and we agree with him that it's stupid and dangerous, causes fatalities and gives true street racers a bad name and everyone else bad feelings.

FORUMS, MESSAGES & CHAT

No street racing locations or illegal information of any kind exists here. However, since we can not monitor everything, we rely on everyone to help keep this site clean and fun.

Posting about upcoming events, gatherings and meetings is okay. It's also okay to post about anything that's already happened. It's not okay to plan, announce or post about upcoming "gray areas." We're not a clearinghouse for badness. If "gray area" stuff happens and then people discuss it that's one thing, but organizing and planning it doesn't belong here.

FORUM FLAMES, GRAPHICS & PICS

Flames burn everyone. No one wants to waste time reading crap, so spewing it only damages the forums as it drives everyone away in bad taste. Let's keep them cool and worth reading.

We are not running a pic dump or porn site, so please keep any gallery pics somewhere above XXX and don't link us from other forums or sites -- we can't afford the bandwidth.

ANONYMITY & BLURRING

We need your permission to include your "picture, image, or likeness" on DVD or web; therefore, we always ask. Only those persons who give us permission may identifiably appear in pictures or on the final DVD. All others will be blurred.
