MF - I'm disappointed because I didn't move back to So. Cal to not go to a river run! I'm going to brainwash Bob Hase into throwing another run if it's the last thing I do! GA - I think that the loss of these big west coast runs is a crush to the scene. Although some runs are starting to appear on the West coast, just not in the Deep South. Look for some major 3-day runs to start appearing in the Northwest. SSM may even throw one next year in a prime location, but I didn't say that... :) CC - Never went to any of those, But if the truckin' community would support their local shows and smaller weekend shows, these shows could take their place in the near future... BF - Well I've never been to one but I hear they are very wild and things get a little outta hand and people are dying? I mean, aren't we as a group smarter than that? Can't we control the bad apples corrupting our runs? It's hard to say what will come of it unless we as a group become more adult about it all. 8. What is more important, the show, the party or the people? LM - From a work standpoint, the show and the features I can get for Mini Truckin' is the most important thing. From my own personal point of view, the people are the most important thing. I've always said that I'll never be too busy to talk to anyone who wants to gnaw on my ear for a few minutes, no matter how much I have to do, or how busy I am. MF - For me it leans a little more toward the party and people. I like the show, but it's the nightlife that makes it all worthwhile. I always enjoy chillin with my friends more than cleaning my truck. GA - Partying with people while at a show? If it wasn't for the people the shows wouldn't be worth going to! CC - I would be lying if I did not say all three, But if I was to choose only one it would be the PEOPLE, because without them, the other two would never be any good. BF - The people are the most important to me. Trucks are a love of mine but, you can always build another truck, great friends are the most important!

9. What can WE, as minitruckers, do to promote "Unity In The Community?" LM - Treat each other like brothers, and knock off all of this bullshit drama. It only leads us down a path that will put an end to our pastime. Learn from each other about the things that truly matter like friendship, honesty, positive competition and camaraderie. MF - I don't know. Hold hands maybe? Just kidding. I wish that all of the big kids would take time out of their baller lifestyles to give the little guys a hand and show them the ropes. If it wasn't for some pretty cool individuals who showed me what time it is, I wouldn't be here today. GA - Stop whining.... just enjoy hanging out with your fellow enthusiasts! CC - In my opinion many people need to kick back and quit taking this sport so damn serious and remember that it is all fun...Who cares what club you are in, what your ride looks like, and how long its gonna take for your ride to be done, as long as you are having fun doing it..if you ain't having fun at it any more, leave and don't bring down other truckers with your negative attitude toward the sport. BF - Support shops, shows, clubs, anything that has to do with our "lifestyle". We are all in this together, so when things get hard we have to stick together and work out the problem. 10. If you have any thought, comments, complaints, shameless plugs, or anything you need to get off your chest, now's your chance! LM - Above all else, be honest. Whether its to the person that trusts you for information about their truck, to the person who's trusting you to do good work on their truck, or to the person who's shooting your truck for a magazine feature. Be honest, and you'll maintain respect. Lose respect, and you may never regain it... MF - One time at band camp...... GA - I've spoke my piece......
