Last year, I was criticized for trying to manage all the evening activities outside of the event schedule.. this year I stepped back and let everyone do their own thing around the major events, and I get criticized for not doing enough. :shrug:
And no, i don't know of any/many Austin guys that were there. Last year there were a bunch that showed up. I don't recall seeing any familiar Austin faces this year.

Only two Austin boys that I know of showed up. Hell, Matt with the blown 4th gen that one the performance and best of show trophy was from Austin. hehe
Also, there were many events to be had throughout the course of the weekend. MrEous got quite a few people to go up to Duke's which is the BEST patio bar in Dallas by far. Not my favorite place, but it's setup perfectly.
And yes, we have all learned quite well that ms gurlie does not know how to drive appropriately!
Good to see you all, some again! Great to meet alot of you. Wherever next year is, I'm there!!

You have to ask Elon about that, it was his toy.

Sure was good to see some people from last year and meet some new ones, too. I had a great time and will attend again next year as long as the drive isn't further than the 1100 miles from WI to TX.

My buddy posted a long video of group B here. Keep in mind that it's his video, so you'll be seeing a lot of his supra. It's about 130mb. Go to this link and right click/save on the file. Enjoy!

Towards the end he's filming it where I lost the brakes in that last corner.

Did any of the Austin guys go? My opinion is that there wasn't enough planned/organized extra-curicular activities (other than SpeedZone). I think if someone is too broke to go out and have a nice dinner/evening, then they're too broke to pay the gas money/plane trip to go this sort of event. You know you guys are all ballahs on .org

Any chance that Ky got any videos of us in Group A? I'm hoping someone got me going down the front straight 3-wide with Chung and Sam.

Here are my pics I just loaded up on ImageStation. They are of the BBQ/Show and I got a picture of most of the cars there. If anyone wants any fullsized untouched photos of their own cars just email me requesting which ones you want. It was nice meeting everyone.

Hey Matt! Actually, Ky does have footage of Group A. He didn't make an edit of it since he wasn't in it..heh. I'll see if he can make one.

to try and keep the show scheduled, so buying the trophies and smashing them and then sending them to trophy nissan was our way of showing them what we thought about them for backing out on us

I'd be interested in your response too, venom. Do you know what gained or lost judging points, who was judging the Show category and how many other shows he's judged?

the judges were volunteer's b/c trophy backed out, yes i was there. I though mr. maxx should have won the daily driver category and maxima girl the show and probly best of show. plain and simple they had bttr cars than the peps who placed in front of them. im not knocking the guys who won by all means congrats but i dont think the best cars won. i think the most fairly judges category was the performance. look at some of the pics u'll see my G35 in the back ground
Latinmax should have won performance hands down, the other catergories are more judge preferences IMO. The same case could be for him winning best of show also considering he had more custon built parts on his car than the rest combined but again its just my opinion. They where all nice cars...

BTW do you have a de-k full motor swap? I thought you just put a 00 VI on your car....
