The website and forum went live tonight.

http://www.wolfpackscc.com

We will be fliering tomorrow, so you might find a flier on your windshield, if we believe your car is autocross-worthy.

FYI the more of you join up and participate in site-searching, the sooner this will happen

well you better be flyering just about every car on campus... even trucks b0'

and why the heck you got an M3 on the top of the forum. put something universal. like a cone or something.

thats just bad taste y0

putting fliers on cars in a great way to really piss people off, especially anyone that cares about their vehicle. i would suggest you leave people's personal stuff alone.

window fliers do usually make me want to harass a business more than trade goods/services with them... i don't know how i would feel about someone asking me to race though...

Put fliers up around campus on the boards made for fliers, it would probably be the best thing to do.

in my experience, you get about a 25% response rate. I think this design is pretty provocative. If you don't answer it, youre just another ricer, which means that we dont want you in our club anyway.



*EDIT* No one reads the boards anyway. We want direct advertising. Right to the correct audience. This is why most groups fail to recruit anyone, and most of them eventually dissolve

Can you maybe put a sports car on the sports car flyer?

That thing has room for a child seat and the body lean of a crossover.

AHAHAHA

Also, I'd like to agree with Quinn and say that you should probably put "sports cars" on your "sports car" website rather than fast econoboxes and family sedans.

Gah, someone's bound to complain about any car he puts up.

Miata- ghey
Subaru - Egocentric
BMW (M3 Perhaps?) -Egocentric, and ghey.
SRT4 - Trash.
Civic - Wrong Wheel Drive, same as above.

etc...

So how about a couple of checkered flags Orange cones instead?


But then the website would probably come off as "still under construction..." I guess you can't win for losing

In hindsight, forget a sports car -- he should put up something that it's actually a challenge to auto-cross in.

Like a Ford Explorer.

honestly, the real racers would be turned away from that gay as hell advertisement. Only the half-assed wannabe know-nothing boys would want to come out and "prove they got what it takes to be a real racer"


you gotta cater to a better crowd, Igor, because honestly, would you and any of your cohorts want to babysit and police around any number of the type of people you are targeting?

yeah. try to make it professional. not all fagg0t looking.

btw, didnt we say something about this cant be a competition? or something about how they frown upon competition type stuff and it would be better if you said it was more of a learning experience.

i wouldnt make it all come race and be cool type flying, but more of a learning, driving education type thing.

the way it sounds is that you guys who made this club are the top niggas in autocross and that no one is going to beat you. when we all know i can probably run faster around the track.

nah'mean

^this is haterade criticism. dudes trying to make a website, but it sounds more like a ricer type "my car is faster than yours" type place. remember, these are all college students, they've got bigger egos than mitsubishi has EVOs. so you cant make it like this unles you're ready for some big time "my penis is bigger than yours" type attitudes. and i dont know about you but i dont like to hang around fagg0ts who think they're top sh*t, but i, myself, am the top sh*t.

you guys dont get it. we have to try to get EVERYONE into it at first. ricers, my penis is bigger than yours dudes, whatever. Why? we need connections for sites. thats the only reason. its a numbers game. can we get 500 people in on autocross? because thats what its gonna take. gotta cater to the masses at first. Its the ricer with the "my penis is bigger than yours" attitude that has the rich mommy and daddy that owns a chunk of raleigh. its most likely that dude thats gonna get us the site. or one of the students i see driving exotics. instead of ripping on each other like you always do here, try cooperating. How many people post on here regularly? in the garage? maybe 50? that wont get you where you want to go. being tolerant of others. it'll get you a long way

are you sure you have the def. of ricer correct?

out of my many many years of owning a honda, ive never encountered a ricer who has ridiculously rich parents. i think im lost.

you dont want ricers. they'll just ruin your whole experience.

you're gonna turn out like phantasm, yeah you may have a good business plan, but your reputation is pretty much ruined around town. even if they do good work, from what everyone has heard, yall suck. now dont turn this into a phantasm debate, i just wanted to point out an example.

dont worry about who to get, they will come. if you get dumbasses, what/how are they going to contribute? and then they will expect too much in return. yes, this is a connections game, i understand, but you're better off going on your own instead of having some douche bag trying to get you to pay him to use his DADS land.

and thats another thing, you might find land in excess, but finding paved land that isnt being used up... woo thats not very easy.

OK. If you know so much, what would you suggest? Obviously there is a lot of support for motorsports in Raleigh. How would you get the connections necessary for a site? If you believe you have so much more experience I'd like to hear how you would set it up.

Oh and baonest, please stop littering our forum. not everyone's got an all-out racecar like you.

you have an off topic section, but it says topics not related to cars and stuff. you need to make an off topic cars section where we can go and rag on each other and talk about CARS.

that's cool, i guess you won't mind then when someone smashes your window in to leave their business card on your seat or they spray paint a website on the side of your car.

i don't even really care about the exterior of my car, but if i get some faggot ass piece of paper stuck on it there are going to be some consequences and repercussions. i can only imagine what a meticulous person is going to do. you might get a few favorable responses, but mostly you're going to piss people off or be ignored. it's not going to filter out ricers, it's the kind of crap that will just attract them.

seriously, i'd love to know what kind of hippy idiots raised you to think it's okay to not pay for services, mess with other people's stuff without their permission, etc.

i've tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you are clearly a self entitled prick.

you also might want to learn how to fucking spell POSEUR before you go around calling people one. that's just sad.

also, if you limit your flyering to cars that "look" like they are autoX worthy, then i can see your 25%, which isnt that impressive. go flyer every car on campus and then give us a count.

exactly. If I saw a flyer that said "so you've tuned your car..." I will automatically assume you're a bunch of ricers.

theres a difference between having a pipe and gaytezzas on your car (rice) and actually doing some performance modifications that make sense (not so rice). I'm trying to attract the ladder. Yea, they might know shit about actual racing, so i guess theyre "rice" by your definition. Oh and im sorry you didnt like my flier. Maybe i underestimated the common understanding here regarding motorsports. where i come from no one's ever heard of autocross and its rare to see anyone actually know anything about racing. I'll make a better one next time. Oh, and i'm sorry that your ego is so bruised from a piece of paper on your car. I'm sure youre terrified of leaving it on the street. They might give you a parking ticket or warning. Can't have that. Makes the car look bad.

I still havent heard anything regarding how you would get a site for autocross. Experts...

negro plz. everyone has already said it, and you have repeated it many times. you've gotta look and look and look.
you arent just gonna build one now are yah?

some plot of grass isnt just gonna grow into some pavement now is it?

this isnt going to happen over night, or many nights really.

what more do you want? how else do you get a site for anything? you look around. if you find something you pass it on and meet up with whoever owns it.

then thats where the fun starts with who gets blamed if someone gets hurt... blah blah blah

It looks like it was made by a 12 year old. If I saw that on my car, I would laugh, and throw it away. I'd say you need to do three things:

1) Go to actual car meets and meet people, do some word of mouth advertising. Fuck this "fliers on cars" bullshit.
2) Find a car guy who is also a graphic designer, product designer, or graphic artist. Let him or her do all the promo work.
3) Do your own legwork to find autocross sites. Get on the phone and start calling. You need a site before you have 500 members (or even 50 members). Figure out the logistics and go from there.
