I just wanted to make it clear that there are LOTS of people at auto-x's, many of which aren't members of TAMSCC. 99% of the people I have met auto-xing around the state are very friendly, some people can be in very bad moods during an auto-x, escpically if they are drively poorly (ask how I know that...).

i want to clarify on this fact, that i know that the majority of car people are nice. ive been to the 1/4 mile track plenty times and usually always have a good experience with strangers there being nice.
what im REALLY getting to, is more so of the fact that i do not feel welcome there.
when you have an established club where everyone knows everyone (take for example, the san antonio section of this site LSS or TAMSCC) ... people are quick to go to their friends in the club and chat up a storm. in TAMSCC, ive not felt welcome because no one came up to me and talked to me, trying to make me feel welcome. the few people i did go up to and talked to, didnt really talk much to me, moreso talked to the girl who came with me. thats not any way to encourage people to join a club. in LSS in san antonio, if you come out to biffs any given friday night and you dont know anyone, and you park close to us and come ask if we are LSS... you will get an ambush of "hey whats up? whats your name? welcome to biffs! good to see you out here."
it makes you feel welcome and comfortable. makes you part of the group. LSS does this very well. TAMSCC on the other hand seems to be unwelcoming group. maybe not conciously, but definitely subconciously atleast, they are unwelcoming. if yall want to lose your reputation of being a mean club, make new people feel welcome.
just to give you some idea of what im talkin about.... the only people i talked to for more than 2 minutes there, were Wade, Candace and Maria (the girl that came with me)... because i already knew all of them. everyone else talked to me for a minute or less. said hi and bragged about their car, and that was about all.
