Matt,
Have you tried anything new with a different webhost for our site? I'm guessing that's not top priority with your dsm still not running...Just wondered if you tried anything else out.

So here's an update people,
Matt, being the mastermind he is, will shortly be done with the new and improved DSTA website.
The window decals are being produced as we speak and may possibly be ready by this meet, but if not for sure by next meet.
The T-Shirts, will be available within about a month or two.
I look forward to meeting the new people at this next meet and seeing anyone who will be attending for a second time. Everyone please tell any DSM enthusiasts in your area about the meet and try to recruit them to come check it out!
Thanks,
Zach

Nick,
Yeah it was fun. The friend that was with me is Mike, mekal on this website. I don't know if you'll get a chance to race it. He's planning on selling it to my neighbor so that he can get a DSM that's boosted. If you want to race that car though I can get the buyer to race you still just for fun, he's a 16yr old kid.

JDM Motors are identical to ours. the only JDM Motor to look for is the evo3 motor because it comes with a 16g, and larger injectors. the shortblock is identical to our usdm motors.

Sorry man, won't be able to make this one. My plans got moved up and I'm heading to Illinois 2 weeks early. I will however be at the world series of drag racing on the 23rd in Cordova, Illinois if anybody wants to head over. If you are looking at going to the shootout, we have a thread in the midwest forum about getting a group together and a couple stop points to pick up people. Hope to see some people at these events.

I'm out until next year at the earliest.
My entire life went to hell this past week, and I'm both cutting my losses and being the bigger man and moving back home to the Twin Cities for this coming semester.
I'm planning on coming back down, and I'll keep in touch, but I really can't justify what it would take to stick around.

You still live in muscatine? Thats a bit of a drive. I will be down that way on Oct 4th on my way to MOD 08 if you can hold out that long. I will think about it and might come sooner.
Thanks!
