| Well its time for my 2 cents worth.
The show was unorginized as hell IMO, it was ok but unorginized. For the rent that was paid for that building why not have all the cars in the barn, there was plenty of room and we could have avoided the rain and could have heard WTF was going on. No announcements were made out side, so no one knew shit. When you did come in, you got a stack of papers and you were told what to do with those, that was the only orginization. Once you took the registration form in the barn no one directed to where to go, no signs. A lot of people were waiting in the T shirt line thinking it was the registration line, I dont know how many people I told they were in the wrong line.
The awards, I dont feel there was enough, only 3 classes with 3 places in each class, xA, xB and tC then best of show and one other award. OF course there was only 2 xA's
The cruise was bad ass, I couldnt beleive all those poor people waiting for us to drive by, I cant wait to see the video of it. The only complaints of the cruise is, 2 people that I saw beings MORONS, one was that damn KELMET MORON and his ghost riding knocking knuckles swirving around cars to go knock more knuckles, when he pulled up by us I didnt know WTF was going on, he is lucky no one served into him, he was close as hell, maybe it was the 18 or 12 pack he carried around every where, I didin't see anything special about his ride, he just has a bunch of carbon fiber parts, how original is that?? Padanky's ride now is orignal and nice, that should have been best of show, IMO. The other MORON was weaving in and out of his lane and almost hit one of the police escorts we had, WTF, and he had to cut me off jsut to get ahead in line. No one checked the arm bands for the cruise, why we had them who knows. If there was some sort of anouncements outside then the criuse would have been more orginized, hell the whole show would have been better. I myself saw several people drive over myself included to the hands on tC car thing before figuring out wtf was going on.
With all the publicity that this show got I would have expected much more than what we got, shit with SCION dealers putting this on, I was disappointed. The Tejas show was much more orginized. I only knew of one drawing, while in the tshirt line a guy gave us tickets for the wheel drawing and then during the awards ceremony, I heard all this other drawing shit that we had no idea about.
I agree you guys have to hit all shows not just import and damn sure not just Scion event, I get tired of seeing the same cars show after show, non import shows usually have import class, it may be small but its not all the same cars.
Why all the recruiting to join a club. I dont know how many times, me and my wife got asked, to join.
What happened to the Sound off and swap meet, Free food??? I had to pay. Back to the unorginized thing. Sory to bash but I was expecting a lot more than what I saw.
And did the judges look at everything? I have a lot of shit painted that may not be caught, I had to point those out before.
I think I have said enough.

| ok ok ok ill let my 2 cents in as well since i helped out wit trafficing. first off was the weather that threw many people off not to come out. second the swap meet was for those who wanted to sale or swap there scion parts out but no one had anything or brought anything to swap. an the other vendors didnt even bother to show up we had many other vendors to come out but none of them showed up. we couldnt force them to show up now. thats their own loss. the tshirt guy was the only one doing it an i know some of the shirts werent as good. since he was tired an without light he couldnt see that good. i dont know how kermit was able to drive in the cruise an the bands where that if u got hit or an accident it wasnt the events fault thats y u signed a waiver. but bret made sure if u had a band u were able to go on the cruise but im sure if bret saw him drinkin or if anyone should of said hey hes drinkin he could of been stopped before going on the cruise. i heard of the person in a red box blocking off the cop which wasnt acceptable. but she told the cop she was video tapping.... if your going to video tape get out ahead of time an go sit by the side of the road......... but the helicoptor did get pics an i think he had a camcorder as well..... i for one know that only a select few where actually helping out wit this event an we could of used more signs for everyone. but i know i told some people take the papers to the scion expo booth an it had the banners. i dont know TSE was really asking anyone to join we had our booth an if u where intrested good if not it wasnt a biggie. i know i didnt try to recruit anyone. most the volunteers to help out didnt help out.... thats y it wasnt organized as it should of been.... most wanted to walk around an bs u know..... the free food was outside next to the barn entrance. i didnt know where it was i didnt eat untill after the award thing. an as well as the other ticket drawing i didnt know anything about that either. but we could of had more things to give away but it was mostly on the big things we had an a few big giveaways... these events are for owners most the time. thats y its a SCION EVENT OR EXPO. thats y u see all the same cars.... outside of this are the regular car shows.... thats were they have more than 1 category an some have only 1 category depending which show u go too...... it would also help to have a showboard of things u have on your car or in it.... a display an other things would help out wit points as well. |
