My 2 cents would be to;
maybe look at Valdosta at the amusement park, Savahnah GA since a new Scinergy chapter is opening there
Maybe Gainseville Fl. Maybe Jax, Or the redneck riviera
These are all about 1/2 way points for alot of us, cheap accomodations and relatively active places.

Another thought would be February in Daytona or March around Atlanta and tie those dates with the Nascar races since in 2007 Toyota is making its debut in Nascar

3.0 wasnt the greatest location but I did have alot of fun, met some cool folks, made some new friends etc and thats what these shows are about.

Not to mention that you could tell that Scion put some "beaucoup bucks" into it to insure we had a good time

 

Thank you for your comments, as mentioned before there are people listening to this for the next one so keep them coming. There are really good suggestions here and you are right, had there been a bit more advance notice this event could have been alot better or even alot worse considering the organization ..

So keep the comments coming please ..

Thank you

 

I agree with Harrison about the vendors. Having companies that make parts and support Scions at the shows would be awesome.

 

My $.02....

The main point is the short amount of time that we were given. The first time I heard about this was just before NOPI Nationals and at that time it was a "Rumor". Then after the announcement of the show it still took over a month to find out the location/time. This is the main reason that the turnout was so low, nobody (other than the locals) had enough time to make plans with work and to get rooms.

Second point is the lot that the show was held in. One of our club members ended up with a flat tire due to the amount of glass/debris that was there. The Carnival/Restrooms/Food was a good walk away from the show cars.

Now...don't get me wrong...I had a GREAT time and I know all of Scinergy GA that attended had a great time as well...but things could have been better.

As for another location in GA or FLA...not a problem! Just make sure to give us time to make plans and schedule time off from work if we have to travel.

I look forward to the next one.!!

 

Vendors would be great but to have a magazine coverage would be even better!

 

All I really care about is a different location with a clean parking lot!!! [Guess who got the flat tire?]

Overall, I think everyone has said it pretty much. Fun event, poorly planned. I would not mind traveling to Florida or anywhere in the southeast for the Exposed event with enough notice.

 

Valdosta, Ga. would be 6 1/2 hours away for me. But wife could go see her mother. Wild water park is great. Good location.

 

I wouldn't mind driving to South Carolina if the Exposed event was advertised like Exposed Miami was or have it somewhere you can find on a map. I'm just so glad I didn't take the trip.

Thank You for your poll, If I could suggest one thing, maybe having it at different locations but the same date..... ie

Feb 17th in Orlando, FL,
then another one
October 27th in Jaxsonville, FL,

then next year,

Feb 16th in Tampa, FL.
Then October
25th in Valdosta GA...

of coarse locations and dates are not real, but it keeps some semitry to the 3rd weekend in Feb and 4th weekend in October..

Thanks for letting me but my 2 cents in you know tha i am vocal about how much this last event was a waste of time, money and 1000 miles for me personally!

It was nice to see everyone and I can't wait till the next show... I know SCION wants to redem their standings with SET and its SCION OWNERS!

ITS GOING TO BE HUGE!

 

one in Fl and one in Ga every year sounds like a plan. Space them out about 6 months apart

 

Keep them coming .. these comments are awesome and I am forwarding them accordingly, good and bad ... these events are made for us, so they better give us what we want ...

Thanks again, keep them coming ..

Laterz

 

How about Orlando, FL?

 

Orlandoooooooooo

 

didn't make it out
to this one but yup, Orlando.

not trying to be biased
since i live there but..c'mon...ORLANDO!

tourists, lots of hot spots, everything.

if Scion plans it right,
makes a early notice, pick a busy but spacious area...

both SCIONS and the whole community will be out to support.

 

Orlando is a great place, I was born there, have mucho family there, so Id have a place to stay

 

Orlando Orlando Orlando!

 

I am down for where ever just need time to plan on going so no more of finding out 2 weeks before!

 

I am very good friends with the head dude for Scion here in the SE and unfortunately he had almost no say in this last event which explains why I have heard so many complaints about it. I know Kennedy and he eats breathes and sleeps SCION, so believe me when I tell you this will be the last time any exposed event will be this poorly run. I can bet that Kennedy was very digusted with the crappy way all of this was handled. I have talked with him and the next exposed will be BIGGER and BETTER!!! Can you say "OFF THE HOOK!!!"

I'm looking forward to Exposed 3.5!!

 

well, as it was explained to me, was that the people who put on this show had no idea the caliber of equiment that was going to be brought from as far away as south florida and TULSA OKLAHOMA, now.. having said that, if they would have walked the lot and picked up the glass/big rocks/trash/golf ***** etc so that the lot was "safe" would have made for a better first impression. now that said, the location of the event fit the theme of the event, although it was TOTAL BS that those of us under 21 were forced to go back to the hotel and party out there..... i mean in most states you can legally purchase a car at 18, and the target age for scion owners is 18-23 i believe....
