I wanted to thank Scion VIP for the great event at the NHRA/Extreme auto fest event.
I always love coming down for this event. Food/Drinks/shade/ FRIENDS, and the Scions.
Thanks to Kirby for coming out, if you wouldn't have come out i would have been very SAD! Nice meeting all of you that came by and said HI! For the ones that didnt well POO on you ..lol. One thing i am disappointed at was the Extreme Auto fest judges. OMG can you say DUH! One judge told me and some other guys that if you didnt place 1,2,3 in the VIP that the 5,6,7 people would go compete in the extreme autofest show. Well guess what that was a LIE! They added the Scions into the Toyota class. this is from there site: BEST SCION 1 - 3. Minimum 5 to have class. Well guess what Extreme Autofest you had 100+ in the VIP area. I waited untill the show awards was over to see that. Other than that the event was great.

sorry to hear that you didnt like the judging

other than that it was a fun event congrats to all the winners on sat and sun

Chris, congrats on the win dude. Ill catch up with you guys at SEMA. Car looks great like always. Let me know when you ready to trade because Taz obviously doesnt wanna.

sorry to hear that you didnt like the judging

other than that it was a fun event congrats to all the winners on sat and sun

Yeah i didn't like the judging. I will be straight up! I'm just not speaking for myself. There are others too that were disappointed too. I guess i am the first to speak up. I am not going to say "I should have won" There was so many nice Scions there. But I would like to make it fair for everyone. When i heard the "Maybe I should join _ _ so i can win a trophy" comment someone yelled out that was so funny.

Once again thanks to SCION VIP!

Who did the judging?

I had a good time for it being my first Scion VIP experience. My only problem was losing my damn cell phone somewhere on the premises. So if anyone found one, please let me know. All of the cars were awesome as usual. As for the judging, I don't really give a crap, as I know that I didn't have a chance anyway. The only thing that I wish is that they would do street, mild, and wild categories instead of just one. I just feel it is more fair that way, but that is me. For some reason, my wifes car didn't even get judged as her judging sheet was still on her car when we left the awards cermony.

but the lunch was good, and there were plenty of drinks for everyone. It was a good event and I look forward to going to other VIP events.

Congrats to all of the winners.

Anyone try the cake with the little *something something* it was baked with?

Damn, too bad I had to drive home or else I would've ate 5 slices.

Great event as usual Urban Racer! Now everyone kick back on your requests for pictures of Donna ok? It'll be posted up in December. Thanks for your patience.


j/k

i got alot of stuff to say =T

hey chris which judge did you talk too????

i had a good time.

Congrats to all of the Winners...For the most part it was a fun filled two Days for my Wife and I. The Racing was great and all of the Drivers were great to talk with. Thanks to Chris Rado, Leslie Almadariz and Kenny Tran all great People and had time to talk any time (even as they were being called up to their round).

As far as Urban Racer thanks for this Event it was a bunch of fun but one suggestion Street and Custom Classes or Mild and Wild. Not good to do all rolled into one. To many crybabies that need that Plastic Trophy. Oh well good lunch both days and c'mon it was free both days. Thanks again Urban Racer for hosting this.

For those that were not Happy with the way things went ....It's pretty simple..... Don't go next time. After all it only cost you for the Gas to get there. Stay Home next time and make it all that much more Fun for all of us that do enjoy going. I'm not in this for the Plastic Anymore. It would be better to just go and buy yourself a Trophy and say you won. If any one needs a name of a Trophy Shop I deal with a few of them just let me know what you need.

As far as the Judging goes when is anyone happy with that. I have seem judging in the past that was just a plain joke. Those of you that know me know what I'm talking about. Oh and don't forget about the "FREE" Knotts Show coming up I can't wait for the comments about that. With all of this I'm done ....C-YA

I agree with you all the way. Especially the second to the last sentence in the last paragraph. The mods may be very busy after the show.

Thanks Scion VIP for a great show and NHRA for let us run in one of the best track in USA Love it. great food and it was nice to spend the week end with all my scion friend. Juding all well I think they should have one judge xb and xa and the other one judge the tC but that just me that the way i do it. but i had a blast. on sat. my team took 5 trophy and sun. Gram took 2 not bad. Thanks Scion

:bow: :bow: George your my new hero..

awsome event thank you Scion and Urban Racer :clap:

BEST SCION 1 - 3. Minimum 5 to have class. Well guess what Extreme Autofest you had 100+ in the VIP area. I waited untill the show awards was over to see that. Other than that the event was great.

you got to understand those are the category without the vip you guys shouldnt be competing without paying for it you know you guys had trophies in the vip section i think unless you pay your dues for the show then you should complain im sorry i had to speak out i never do but i had to

there was a best scion?

there was a best scion?

ya kirby there is best scion 1-3 for extreme autofest not for the vip section people that paid for the show that had scion is competing for best scion 1-3

hey chris which judge did you talk too????

I forgot his name he was asian looking. Short. Wearing the shift-r shirt.

there was a best scion?

ya kirby there is best scion 1-3 for extreme autofest not for the vip section people that paid for the show that had scion is competing for best scion 1-3

Sorry i thought it was like the HIN VIP events where scion pays your entry into the show too. Sorry if i got confused. But even though there was enough Scions that payed there entry into the extreme autofest show side. they should have just had those compete for the autofest trophy. I just want it fair for everyone. i know there was at least 5 to have the class. I agree with Kev they should have given out scion class awards for the others not in the VIP.

Also George your quote"It's pretty simple..... Don't go next time. After all it only cost you for the Gas to get there. Stay Home next time and make it all that much more Fun for all of us that do enjoy going. I'm not in this for the Plastic Anymore.

If it was to be Simple like that then dont give the awards. It just like bowling, I love bowling its my other hobby, but it is competitive and you get rewarded for your effort. They give the awards to show appreciation for your efforts. I had nothing against the judging , i knew what happen was gonna happen before i even took the long 6 hours drive down there. I came down because i came last year and love the event that Scion VIP puts on. I also wanted to watch the racing. Also to meet some new and old friends. I had a great time. Its just when a judge tells me the others can compete over in the extreme autofest side i decided to stay and see who would win in the scion class. I waited an extra 1 hr to see that he had no idea what he was talking about. And to see not even a scion class for the others that paid is totally wrong.

George....

I saw you on the 71 the other night..I was in the SST truck.

I have to agree 100% on what you said.

I had been in this scene since day one and helped Scion organize events in the past.

I got sick and tired of all these cry babies so I kinda layed low on the Scion scene for sometime although I still keep in touch with the folks at Scion HQ on a regular basis.

Those who have been around since 2003 know that there is a comradery between all Scion owners and Scion clubs.

A lot of the new folks are not really getting the main premise of these events....to bring Scion owners together as one community.

It's not about winning plastic as you mentioned.

If someone or a particular club wins numerous trophies someone is always not happy with the outcome.

It's like when I used to write the Scion Life Feautured Ride for Darren..I would not get as much entries and people would always complain as to why I chose someone in SoCal etc. etc.....no one is ever happy.

Some of the OGs here on Scion Life know that it is not all about who is the best or what club is the best etc...

It's all about how we all have the same interest and passion about the brand even though we all belong to different clubs.

I have known George, Jerry, Phil, Gill and a few of the leaders of some of the early Scion clubs and all are great guys and know what these events are all about...having fun and enjoying each others company.

It's not like the good old days when there was only Team Scion West.....SoCal has grown so much and it's great to see all these clubs.

What's even better is to see owners from different clubs supporting each others events...that's what it is all about.

Hope the newbies realize that it's not all about winning.

Just appreciate all the efforts Scion has put in since day one when Jim Farley, Brian Bolain, Mike K, Rommel Momen .... the OGs of Scion and Scion Regional,,,,, put forth back in the day.

Just my .2 cents.

and that what it suppose to be. I guess newbees have to go to this first before realizing its not all about winning. Sucky part is, some old timer still look on the competitive edge and whines when they don't win.

anyways, I really give much props and thanks to Scion Corp, and to all the people who makes it possible for us to have a good time and make more friends in this Scion movement.

More Power to you All!!!!!!!!

who is Jose Dale Soriano. Tatay mo ba to Sid? HAHAHA.....

tado ka talaga Mr. Kirby Quinto. you would luagh more if you know my dad's name :P

its all about having fun remember that

You gotta ask the question, "why do people pay to put their car in shows?" Recognition, ego booster, see your ride in a forum board or magazine? It always starts out for fun, but somewhere down the line it ends up being a competition.

I'm having fun regardless what happens. I may not have won at VIP, but I had a plate full of salmon and pasta. Not to mention a cool Scion Racing Jacket, and left a wonderful present in the men's restroom after the event too. LOL.

are you talking about me, coz I won a jacket :P

and marked my teritory in the restroom 3x!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Too bad I missed out on VIP.

Heh, this can go far and shake some egos a bit talking about judging. People get all crazy on you!! I know over the past few shows this summer and even before hand there have been some complaints about judging :) I agree with some of them and don't with others. I am usually thinking "They should have qualified" or "They should NEVER have won" for specific Scions I like. At VIP I will only go so far to say I never expected to win when I saw the competition and did not think I or some others would win with the better suited xA's at that particular show.

Having won some of trophies over the past 6 to 8 months I have noticed some judging styles are different. I never can really tell what they are looking for or why. I just try and make sure my car is clean :)

It was pretty cool seeing you there and only recognizing you by you and your wife's face from MySpace. Says allot for MySpace since we have never met and I had not seen your xB till after.
