^^ thanks dude. sorry to hear about your car. but your new tC looks tyte too. well im gonna enter my car in the show too. i was jus wondering if more than 5 tC's show up, than we can have our own class. so we wont have to be judged with the xB's. but we'll see what happens. i should have my screens in by then, and a few other things... :lalala: :lalala:

btw, check out this thread. it lists all the classes and such.

Why is there not mild, intermediate and wild for the scion class? When you did your show in san antonio there was 7 scions and only one trophy :doh: There was 10 neons and 3 trophies :tap:

TXboxdriver
01-03-2006, 03:29 PM
ahhh yes .....the great injustice of classification
i am going for the drifitng and to see my H-town friends
i try not to take this series of shows seriously...will lead to headaches

on a side note, can the car show parking be planned this time
I ended up "guiding" the parking guys last show and it still was not ideal for crowd walk thru and most people that wanted to park together could not

thanks

mild/wild for the scion class will be added if enough scions enter.

Sam_J84
01-04-2006, 04:50 PM
y not do mild/wild for each car. xB and the tC. i think a lot of tC's will show and i wouldnt be happy if we were being judged in the same catergory as the xB.

NsStReEtLeGaL
01-04-2006, 08:19 PM
I agree with Sam tC's should have their own class...It's not really fair game to be put with the xB's

GSRcaucAZN78
01-04-2006, 09:36 PM
/\ No problem, guys. Someone please step up and organize the scions for this event... please let us know ahead of time what classes you all would prefer so we can have trophies labelled correctly before the show. Email class suggestions to HybridEntertainment78@yahoo.com (no later than January 15th, please). Trophy orders are going in on that date.

01-04-2006, 09:54 PM
oOoOo...that's sounds good. Let me think it over and get back to you. At least now I know tC's can have their own class. I know for sure if I entered with the xB's Nestor would take home all the trophies LOL j/p

Gates open at 9:30 am, registration starts at 10:00, judging begins at 12:30.

Car show entry is $20 and does not include a free passenger. Passenger(s) must pay the spectator fee to get in ($10 with flyer, $12 without). IFO does not offer a free passenger to contestants because entry into the car show competition is only $20, not $40 to $60 like other shows. Other shows claim to come with a "free" passenger pass when in reality the contestants are paying for the extra pass with the higher entry fee. Instead of leading contestants on, IFO charges the contestant only. It's also better for the contestant in that they won't have to go looking for a passenger to help pay for a high $40 - $60 entry fee.

Someone please start a list of people entering the car show COMPETITION, not enter as a spectator. We need atleast 4 cars of each make/class to have a trophy made.

The classes elegancexb listed look good.
