Lack of Response.....

Is it just me or is there a little bit of a lack of response for this board.I believe there are alot more Canadian members than the regulars that I've seen here. I realize that this is a relatively new board, but other than myself and a few others I'm not seeing a great deal of new names in here.I hope to see some new responses or posts from Canadian memebers.

I'm thinking the lack of responses may just be because the tech boards are where most people go. This is more for questions about our area... tech is anywhere.

Also... the only reason I found this board was because Paul told me... I never scroll down the main page far enough to see the regional clubs.

Hey Mo!(Steve) This is great! As I told you on the phone, I'm in for Mosport. My neighbour was commenting that he would love to go around in an F1 car, I replied that I would just be happy to go around in my car!

Check out my blabbering about Toronto Motorsports down below on this site. You could maybe get a response from that route for more hits.

Just noticed this board as I scrolled down the main page. Anyway, just saying hi for now. I have been on the Shannonville track many years ago with my ride but before I do that again I need to upgrade the brakes to the 1LE package. I completely toasted the pads and warped the rotors. Was a fun day though!!

I just found out about this the other day as well. I don't usually scroll down to the Region pages because they were all from the U.S. I think it will catch on.

I probably would not have found this area if one of the guys hadn't mentioned it on the TFbM mailing list. Whenever I come here I just check out the drivetrain and suspension forums and that's it.

I check out your board every now and than, but since I'm on the West coast and this is a Southern Ontario board, so not many other Canadians check it out.
GOOD LUCK though and KEEP THE 3RDGEN ALIVE

I found this board by accident. I usually just read the same three or four tech boards every day.

There are a lot of local issues I need to know about like: what happens with emisions once my 83 TA hits 20 years old and I want to put a 350 non-emissions crate in it; also, notwithstanding the US exchange rate, why are aftermarket parts three times as much in Canada etc.

So, I hope this board will catch on.

I'm from Ottawa. I think the guys have already hit on the reason for lack of response, nobody ever scrolls down to the bottom of the page.
