Well I have been informed it is about that time to pull off another Poker Run for the PHX Scion owners together. Before I get into all the details and make the time commitment for it lets vote on it.

This year will be bigger and better for sure. I got a lot of ideas from last year that will cahnge it up, confuse you and maybe if we are all lucky some one will say wtf??

Im going to need a lot more help to pull this off. Bryononscion has agreed to help out

1. Need a videographer that can video and not participate?
2. Need help with getting prizes and such. Everyone can help with this. If you got a connection, a favor you can call in or have something that we can give away let me know.
3. Ideas, suggestions and opinions. Dont be offended if they are not used. I got a lot of it figured out from last year, but input is good.

So please vote

As a reminder of last years event for those that did not make it

- 54 vehicles participated.
Start point was Camelback and end point was Avondale Toyota

I would post the photo thread from Scionetics, but it is no longer there.

Just know there will be a lot of new surprises, challenges and mix-ups. PLUS it will be on the Eastside this year to make it fair to all that went last year.

time for THE RIGGLER to go to work!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I am SO down for this Chad. Last year you did an amazing job setting it up and it would be fun to do it again this year. Let me know what I can do to help.

i voted for a hell yeah! last year was AWESOME and this year it'll be on our side of town! wooohoo!! :clap:

I voted for hell yeah! I wasn't at last years, but I did the one in Tucson and had a great time. This should be awesome!

I am down for this!!

Nice picture Bryan, you should find the guy that took it and give him a tune up!! :rofl: :rofl:

Someone please fill in us newbs. Must be fun if people are so jazzed about this.

EDIT: Nevermind. I just read the previous year's post. Sounds like fun.

Hopefully I can get a better hand this time. I'm psyched already.

im definitely in!! this was a blast last year and cant wait to do it again. chad did a great job with the planning last year and im sure he will come through this year with an even better poker run. we know it is a lot of hard work planning this so our hats go off to you chad for taking on this challenge again. im not sure what i can do to help but if there is anything i can do just let me know.

as far as a videographer goes you might want to have a couple or maybe 3. that way you can get all different parts of the run as well as all different cars as well. with 2 or 3 people with cameras you would be able to get a lot of different footage because they would all be in different places at the same time. then you just take all the footage and put it all together to make one awesome video. there is my suggestion. i dont really have anything else right now.

oh yea and last year was my very first desert and salt event. randy hooked it up with my cold cathodes that weekend too! maybe at this years i will upgrade to led's...

hey andrew, you're starting to think like a videographer :P thats exactly what i was thinking when i read that he needed one!

just don't let scott get ahold of the tapes...it'll be next year before we get to see a clip of it :rofl:

Sounds fun

hells yeah, i can't wait for this.

Is it going to be on a saturday or sunday?

Having multiple videographers is a great idea, but it takesmore people out of the game. So if I had one person that could do a certain part that I need taped and the others taped as they were on the course then we could put it all together.

I prolly can get some people outside of the group again to help out with the event or Scion owners support men and women to help.

I will leave this for a week or so and see where we are at then decide. The even t will take place on a Saturday and will be a lot longer of an event than last time.

Hold me Mommy I'm scared :nails:

I missed last year because I had to go to a wedding. Hopefully I'll make it this time.

I'm in, thanks for all your hard work on this bro!

Count me in!!!!!

Great timing, Chad! I was just at Camelback last week and was reminiscing about tailgating in my tC with Whit that day!!! For you newbies, this is a BLAST!!! I guarantee a good time. This was the second best Scion road trip (Silver City was the best - thanks to my girls!!!)

Count TFS in for a prize pack. We should also think about doing t-shirts this year. Maybe Randy can put the right date on the window decals this year! :)

im down!!!!

I can round up some outsiders to help as well...

Im not sure of the date and times yet. I have to talk with the some dealers to see what we can do. Im hoping that we can do another two Scion dealer start/finish for the Eastside, but we will have to see what I can do.
