Ok guys.. I canot express on how proud I am to have a great team in hawaii. SE Hawaii represented the first Hot Import Nights Show ever in Hawaii with 20 Pre registered Scions entered, Although we entered as a Club and had a reserved spot for the club, one SE Hawaii entry didnt make it into the show and only 19 spots was givin to us. On roll in day there were many other porb at least 30 or so pre registed vehicles that didnt make it into the show and were very ____ed off at HIN.

From Planning the Team Display to building all of the Team display we worked as a team and have brought many of the members closer together. SE HAwaii took the meaning of carshows to the next level in hawaii, and is the first to use this concept of a club display. We had the most organized and uniformed type of display from all the show boards for every entry being all the same. Special thanks tot he LA chapter " Kirmt "Keith Moore" for the very professional SE Banner that he had modified to fit the Hawaii Chapter Logo. The banner was a huge high light of the display. Many models and press stopped by the vertical banner to pose in front of. You will also SE alot with that banner in Videos and magazines.

We took the Club display to the Higest level any club could have takin it to! and we stayed away from that Xmas theme all the other clubs was using. 2 Stages, 2 Go Go "Thanks to Jerrmy Delacruz" Dancers Jenn R and Nina Roxann some very poular models in HAwaii that did a hell of a job Go go Dancing. Our DJ from Royce rocked the house all night long and to jrmey again bringing in his hidden talent that he never told us about being the MC of the SE booth. Aslo we had 4 models that Scion HAwaii provided that did wonder whit the SE hawaii Shirts! and 3 more girls from Mike that also assited the Scion Hawaii Girls in passing out promo items and worknng the crowd arrond the SE HAwaii area We also gave tons of Scion Promo Items away that were dontated by Scion Hawaii and the left over goodies that arived late from our 1 year event " shirts CDs Key chains Blinky lights, and Scion Fist. Our display was off the hook and we stole the crowd from the vendor booths!

I myself went all out with my display for the feature car Black Widow to defend my title of the best scion for the forth time in Hawaii. Carpet that was grafittied with white spiderwebs, Strobe lights, 2 Fog machhines and lots if halloween fake spiderwebs to having the wheels all faceing the right way so that the Brand was all facing upright" detail to litto things all counts in Judging in a points system and most off all the car was one the entire show and the the Black widow theme! I also opend up my car to be interactive with the crowd and let guys play te play station!

I was pretty sure SE had that Best Team/Club Represnting award we had every thing the juding book called for! and i walked the whole show to see not one club comming even close to us!

Here is what it read in the NCCA Judging book.

Best Team/Club Represnting ( Professionlizm of the club / team members and how they represent themselfs and there cars at the show) Club Team Memebers shouldbe at the show for its enitre duration. All vehicles should be on display yhe entire day. The members should be wearing Club attire, such as tshirts and or baseballcaps this is for the club team who controls the crowd for the duration of the show, with such features as; Models, music and interactive activities for the spectatiors..

Note the club that won was the prelude club that only had street lights and nothing even close to what we had..

I guess all the judges was Local and not fromthe mainland and they most have not read the rule book on what the" Best Team/Club Represnting" was really about.

I will bring it up to the NCCA about the mishap just to let them know. so the next time the same thing wont happen in hawaii.. But now everyone know the LA type of show and im sure other club will copy on what we just did! SE is known to evolve but we just also innovated a new style of car show display in hawaii.. So if we see at the next show other club doing the same we will all know who was teh first! I have a few more tricks up my sleeve for 2006 that is off the hook if everyone is down on doing it for 2006 HIN show..

I am very glad to have brought home the Best Scion Award to Scion Evolution for the forth time. I was really worrede that I wouldnt have pulled this one off having to compete with Daves XB from turning point CC. that was off the hook! We miss you Dave being a part of SE. This award is dedicated to every SE member! and I hope we can defend this title in 2006.. This all couldnt have happend without the support/ Sponsors of Nilo of SST, Gary of Nish Designs, Coi of Motor FX, Steve of bBist.com, Charley of Strup perfromance, Carbign Craft, Dee of Louder than Life, R blox sound dedining, Noah of Freds Auto Top shop, Joe of midnight custom Painting, Kevin of gotshine auto detailing and most of all Servco Marketing. HUge thanks to of all to my family and the SE Support!!!

The main thing is that every had so much fun at the show and we did get some huge exposer from the press.. Watch for SE hawaii on G4 TV "Street Furry" Papo and I was inteviewed. We will get coverage in guam also in which i was interviewed by a show called Rudeboy televison in guam that does advertising for Scion there and they want to do a club feature also that I will let you guys know about very soon.

Well to sum everything up we all are winners in this show. for many of us it was a first time to enter any show and we hope to see the sopport again in 2006..

So to end this 2005 year have a safe and Merry Xmas and a Happy new year and see all you guys in 2006
