Hrm, so you want the story?
Back in 2000, I was part of the North Florida F-Body Association, and there was a huge scene involving different aspects of vehicles. So another "club" was started call Jax Racing.
I moved back here and started COFBA, and we used to go out as a club on the weekends. With that, we started hanging out with guys from Columbus DSM, which back in the day was full of fast cars and not the ricers that makes it up today.
As a group, we used to go out and have good times on the weekends, so I thought to myself we needed a place where we could just come together as a group instead of trolling each other's boards. CR was created for just that purpose, for about 30 guys to bullshit on the internet.
Originally, it was members of COFBA and CDSM, with some others intermixed. I remember some of the starting members that were out on the weekends were:
Me
Marc (MadMalibu)
Rick (Grease Monkey)
Kenny
Jeff Yetzer
Howard (Hwilli)
Jono
Rice Robb
Berto
Scotty Moehl
Jared (had a DSM)
Jeff Goldsberry (BadAssBlackBuick)
Jeff (had a DSM)
Tommy Scott
Joe Campbell
Nick Patlovich of T-Type fame
Ricky Bullock
Brett Burton
A whole slew of COFBA guys that don't come around anymore
So forth. It was a lot more laid back then.
