HANDS DOWN , this has to be the best VIP event i have ever attended. I would personally like to thank Scion VIP, Formula D and everyone else involved in making today possible. Shout out to Balliztik, Scion Evo, Socal tC, Alpha Squad, Revoluscion and any other Scion Crew members that were out there hanging out with us. Free beer FTMFW!! LOL!!!

 

I can't wait until they come up to Washingtonnnnnnn!!!

 

Did you notice the date on the back of the free beer? 01/08/08 LOL

still didnt stop me from drinking it though Hahah

 

hell yes i did!! lol...it was actually 11/8/08...still tasty =) even months later haha

 

^ bah I wanted some jack daniels, but for obvious reasons I couldn't

But yea it was a awesome event, nice seein everyone

 

DAMN I'm tired. I spent nearly 13 hours down there today. Shot about 600 pics, but narrowed it down 500 shots. I will not have any pictures up on my Flickr till mid-week, but some of my pics may show up on http://www.AutoImportCraze.com soon.

 

It was a great event, though I thought there were some questionable calls from the judges in terms of scoring. Thought Chris Forsberg won his round, but he was knocked out pretty early. Same with Rhys. Great day none the less. Amazing drifts, amazing people, tagged along with the symphony of engine sounds is never a bad formula. Pun intended.

 

tanner foust made us tC owners proud today!

 

hell yeah he did.

 

This was the most legit VIP ever. Nothing fancy, just a simple layout and thats all that was needed. Not only was the weather on the fresh side, but the vendors and EVEN the dozen+ amazing models were cool. If anyone complains, I'm sorry, but let me know so I can knock your head because nothing can beat "Free" beer and great BBQ beef.

Thank you Scion.

oh, who won the competition? I left when Foust lost =(.

 

Foust didn't lose. lol He just got 3rd.

 

I still think the whole thing is rigged. Tanner was forced to take third, so many do overs. Their scoring and judging system sucked. I like D1 better. But nonetheless I was very impressed with the V8 scion and Tanner, what a hell of a consistent drifter. He hugged that wall and the cone so f'in well! He deserved second or at least that battle with huey! The tanaka corvette crash was so heart breaking! Overall scion made their presence know at Formula D!

 

Had fun today! Scion put on a great thing! Drifting was fun to watch! lol

 

yeah it was real fun today. had a great time showing my car at the jtuned gallery and chilling in the scion vip area.

 

Ryan Tuerck won in his Solstice GXP. Sam Hubinette in his Viper in 2nd and Foust in the AWESOME tC in 3rd.

 

Great day yesterday!! Thanks to Scion, urbanracer, Formula-D and all involved. Had a good time hanging out with everyone and chillin.......

 

What a blast. Pretty much what everyone has already said about how Scion treats its owners. I swear I would have an xB if my pre-crossover didn't already get me 27-30mpg! The show part of it looked so wrong. If the Scion owners weren't there to show because of VIP, it would have looked worse in terms of attendance. Last years show was WAYYYYYYY bigger and busier.

The Scion VIP event....smaller than last year, but more "intimate" and a higher caliber. Last year they admitted 100 owners and a guest. This year was 50 + a guest which resulted in less peeps but a higher quality event. I'll let everyone else compare this year's and last years. I only question WTF did I pay $3.50 + tip for one can of soda while everyone got FREE beer? What's wrong with this picture here? Encouraging me to drink and shoot? haha Either way any VIP is great to be part of.

As for the racing, good pick up with Foust this season. I think it was kinda BS also having to make him keep racing to see if he races for first or third. Didn't look right. But like ca shows, it's all relative to what the judges think. bastards

With Ken Gushi, I was hoping he'd have better luck this season. Not a good way to start the circuit. He ended up #33 and only the top 32 raced on Saturday. Damn judges. haha If any of you get a chance to see Ken, he's one of the most approachable drivers in the scene. Feel free to approach him and say hi.

Thanks Scion, Urban Racer, and Beyond for another great experience. Sorry no pics until late Monday from me.

 

Great great event!!! Thanks to everyone that hook it up! Cant say nothing bad a bout this ish! Model pics coming soon!

Nakhon FTMFW!!

 

AMEN TO THAT!!

 

fun day only downfall was when my friend clipped a construction cone on the 22 West and it mysteriously came down at my front end and destroyed my front lip and ruined my front bumper even more q=[. my car has battle scars everywhere!
