Hey, how is everybody?

Well, despite predictions by many I actually survived the show. Actually, I wound up feeling pretty good after everything finished up.

So here's the deal. I hate the Internet now. There was a point in time before the Internet that people would get together in an area and have fun and then go home. Those people usually weren't too far from each other so these meetings could happen often and much fun was had by all. Oh yeah, and gas was cheap.

Now we have this Internet and I have a problem. You see, we had fantastic participation in the show. Lots of dedicated owners from ALL OVER. All of the participants were really cool too and I wanted to hang out with everybody. Now, in order to do that I need to go out to Oklahoma, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Colorado, and a ton of other places! HOLY COW!! None of this would've happened without the Internet. It's going to cost me a fortune just to keep up with my new friends. You see the problem? Stupid Internet!



Okay, anyway, how about a big old THANK YOU to all of those who made the trip. We had a crazy amount of participation. It was by far the largest Scion event in the region so far. We had some truly sick rides out here and judging was REALLY close on a lot of the categories.

Without you guys and girls coming to the show we wouldn't be able to continue to do it. We have grown every year so far and I expect NEXT YEAR to be even bigger!

Thank you to all of the clubs who organized and brought your members out here including all of the Scinergy, Scikotics, Team ScioNRG, and Scion Evolution chapters, as well as Scion Fusion, STLScions, and all of the privateers who joined us.

Congratulations to the winners! There wasn't a single person who won that didn't put a TON of time and effort into their car. The final results would be very hard to dispute. Here's the official list of the winners:
