You dont need an actual flyer card to get entry discount. All you need to do is print out a copy of the flyer and bring it with you to the show for the discount...one per person.

So...let me get this straight...IF there are more than 4 SCIONS then SCIONS should have their own class right...??? Then why was there only ONE trophy and that was Best Scion...Last year there were more trophies for Scion..,Yet it went down to ONE trophy this year. I know there were AT LEAST 20 SCIONS...so why wasn't classes added for that. If not mild/wild...then 1st, 2nd & 3rd Scion....??? Also if you look at the flyer...this show was sponsored by Demontrond Toyota SCION...So why did the Scions get shafted...and then get told that there weren't enough SCIONS to have their own class...??? Our team alone brought SEVEN SCIONS...so there already was the Scion class alone. There were at least 20 SRT-4s and 4th, 5th, & 6th were added AT THE SHOW!!!

I was thinking the same thing, Last year they gave 1st 2nd and 3rd for each model Scion. I did win, But was also disappointed about being the only Scion to get a trophy.
I was estimating more around 50 Scions. I'm not sure if they were all entries, but I know there were a bunch.
lil_babie_tearz
01-22-2007, 01:46 AM
For the Scion entries...I know for sure that Scikotics had 7, and T.S.E Had around 15 or so Scions...Besides, there were a couple others there as well (i.e...Sun Works had a BSP tC...also...there was a White tC with a turbo). That alone is 24 Scions that were entered in the show...
Padanky
01-22-2007, 02:42 AM
Hell, last year they gave a "Best Scion" on top of all the 1st 2nd and 3rd's.
Sunworks also had Crazykatmatt, Crucial Minds had a TC, and so on.
They must've gave around 10 Trophies away to Vette's, Mustang's, etc. I was thinkin' "Isn't this Import Face-Off"!
My little brother got the Trophy for "Best Classic" with his White 79' Thunderbird on 20's, it was funny because he was the only Classic to register.

01-22-2007, 03:02 AM
That blows.....I can't believe that they idn't give out more trophies for Scion, especially since there was a Scion dealer sponsoring the show.
Congrats on the win Chris, I am sure it was deserved.
Hope you guys had fun, srry I couldn't makeit out to see everyone.
GSRcaucAZN78
01-22-2007, 05:26 AM
Guys, several extra scion classes and trophies are being added/mailed out. I'll post the winner additions as soon as we get back to the office. There was a major miscommunication between the judges and some of the IFO staff regarding the added classes, SPECIFICALLY for the Scions. We apologize for the mistakes, but they WILL be corrected. This event was a nightmare from the beginning... rain, rushed entry, using outside judges, etc.
First I would like to say congradulations Houston on the turnout for IFO, again under sketchy weather conditions. Best Scion showing at a non Scion event I have seen in a very long time. Cliff is a good guy so give him some time to rope in the judging misshaps and non classes and I am sure everything will be just fine.
Congradulations to Chris on the win...he is a good guy as well so give him the props for his hands on fabrication and overall very clean Xb. Man...if we could just get this event done with nice weather who knows how good it could actually be. This years event schedule is building to be huge with a couple new players adding local shows and NOPI coming to Tx. Good job to the club turnout as well and wish the Scikotics could have parked inside the show as we are all in the import family. Cliff, you are going to have to fix that problem for sure.

I thought the turn out was great especially the Scion turn out... the show was definatly very unorganized but i still had fun watching the drifting and checking out some of the other scions in the show. I felt that we got a shafted since first i had to park outside the gate and second i thought we would have gotten more love bacause toyota/scion was a large sponsor of the event, and third the judges were going off of a point system and not really looking at the overall aspects of how the parts looked and functioned on all of the cars as well as not having a clue about anything that was on each car. Overall i had a good time and from reading all of the feedback on houston imports i will definatly go to the next event.
chrimsonfyre
01-22-2007, 06:20 PM
Yeah the turn out was pretty good even considering the nasty weather at the beginning of the day.
Yeah I was upset that Scion got shafted...and that all us Scikotics got stuck parked outside because there wasn't enough room, but oh well what can we do?
k-boy
01-22-2007, 07:31 PM
well at least we all got to hangout again with each other T.S.E. and Scikotics even though we got screwed. I believe we raised enough hell aboutit they had 2 fix it since toyota is a import brand of ride an we as SCION owners are apart of toyota and go the short ond of the stick to other brands who I.m not gonna mention is wrong, but at least they're trying to fix the misshaps so I gained a little more respect for the IFO crew.
c1rcu1t
01-22-2007, 07:54 PM
i agree with everyone on the scion participation. There definately should have been more classes. I got Best Display, not sure why, bc i only had some toys, pics, and plaques around the car. BUT, props goes out to the IFO Crew for adapting to the situation and making this show a hit. Remember they said the show area was already roped off and they also almost cancelled the show. All in all i had a great time. It was good to see TSE and Scikotics again. Sorry i didnt get a chance to stop and talk to yall. I stayed kinda busy all day.
Padanky
01-22-2007, 11:14 PM
Thanks Bret, David, Mik.
It's really not the same to get a trophy in the mail. Sucks that they didn't get things straight. I was waiting for the others to be given, just never happend. I had a good time besides that.
Nestor, it was cool to finally see the GWagon Conversion in person, look'd good. And the G35 conversion was very nice. I still wanna know who else won and what.

heheh thanks for the compliment Chris!!! I've been calling it my T35...yea i know...it's ___ ha ha ha...oh well. The only thing that made me upset was the Scion category, but if its being fixed then I'm cool with it. I just wished it was noticed at the car show and not now, but better late than never. I understand the weather and space was no control...I was just worried we wouldn't get judged, but we did so that was good.
Sorry if I haven't said it SOONER but CONGRATS CHRIS!!!
