i'm putting 101% more effort into prepping my car on saturday lol

 

So who all is going? I will be there both days. Parked at ITB on Sat. Then will be parked at the VIP section on Sunday.

 

im going to be there going to be at itb sat and vip sunday. are you goign to be staying the night in indy i know that there are a few of us getting together sat night to hang out and stuff.

 

I am stoked and can't wait for sat/sun. Need4Bass05 if you want, you can hang out with all of us sat. evening. We can all prolly park as a group at VIP sunday also. See everyone there and everyone have a SAFE trip. Be carefull!!!!

 

Need4Bass05 come find me sat at the show do you remember me im the two tone xb that was at slamology. me and bB2ner and his friends are going to be haning out sat night and sharing a hotel room. you are more then welcome to come chill with us

 

best central indiana show ever!!!

plus best scion show food ever!!! way better then hamburgers and hotdogs

 

I thought the judging was pretty horrible. Some cars that won shouldnt have over others. I also think people that didnt stay for the awards deserved to get an award.
All and all other then seeing old and new friends, a big let down in my book.

 

Food - good. Better than the usual hamburgers/hot dogs.
Music - Eh, I wasn't in the tent a whole lot so I didn't pay much attention to it.
Freebies - Pretty cool shirts, nice bags.. more visors than I need...
Judging - My biggest complaints about this are:

1) the inability to write down anything you have done to your car - Judges can't see certain things you've done! When will the masterminds of some shows realize this?

2) Judging during lunch - Most of us were around our cars all day, and only left to get food once it was available. This is a big flaw in the judging routine... I understand there are a lot of cars to look at, but damn.. start early.. ask questions. Don't just walk around the car and judge based on what you can see.

3) Leaving before awards - I understand you drove a long distance to come to the show... but why leave if you think you stand a chance to win something? In all honesty, this should disqualify you from winning

Other than that, I had a decent time. Saw a horrible bikini contest with girls who needed to eat a sammich or two. I still don't get the appeal of mini trucks and the need to drag the whole thing on the ground... but thanks to Scion for hosting this event for us... easily the biggest Scion sponsored event in Indiana. Great turnout.

 

I had fun. It was good to meet some new people. I hate that I was late for the awards, I was over at ITB listenin to those and about the time I came back to VIP they were done. Be nice if they would stick to their schedule.

 

I agree with what you are saying first off. My take on doing shows after 20+ years of them is to expect the judging to stink before you even go. That way your day doesn't end up being ruined when you don't get an award. If you get an award and you know the judging was done right it will make that award mean something.


duck_dodgers_24_5, I had no idea that was you You are so right about the food! Only problem I had was they didn't have the BIG cookies this time. We were talking and wondering if they'd be there or not...

I had an awsome day and tried to visit with as many as possible. Sorry if I missed anyone.

 

It was kinda funny how both first places (xB/tC) were MIA for their trophys.
BTW, sweet ride Bro and props on your award!

 

Thank ya much!

 

What r u talking about I grabbed my xA Trophy.

 

I had fun meeting everyone that i did, I am still ____ed off my camera got jacked. I had some good pics on there to post up, but that person will pay sooner or later for their evil deed. Hope i get to go again next time. Congrats to everyone that won stuff, and thanks to Scion for all my free stuff.

 

I agree, my friends and I drove our xB's over to ITB and by the time we got back which was before the 4:30 pm awards time it was over. Although I did get an award it still would have been nice to let the judges know what was all underneath what you could see. Scion Backstage was nice because you got to do a drive through video and tell about your car, but to give credit to the judges they did try. I was somewhat surprised with the award I won I thought I might have had a shot at the ICE award but that went to 1 of my running partners. It was nice to meet and talk too a lot of you, sorry to the ones I may have seemed to have brushed off or seemed to have ignored it was not intended. Hope to meet each of you in the future.

If those of you here on the post don't think I deserve the award I got take a vote amoung yourselves and I'd be more than glad to give it too whom you all choose. Winning an award is nice but I like meeting new people and showing what can be done wtih the box, I guess I've said my piece everyone enjoy the rest of the show season.

Donnie, thanks for the heads up on Scion Pro, Steve's a pretty nice guy and easy to deal with . I spoke with you about it at Exposed at Mid Ohio.

 

This was only my third show to attend...it was nice to finally put some faces to the names I see on here all the time and meet some other owners too. I still haven't figured out the judging on these things, it's been different at every show. The food was much better than the last two. The truck show was kind of Cool and I agree with SirPhobos1... I don't understand the dragging frames and tearing the rear roll pans off in the gravel, seems it could get pricey after a while. Over all I had a fun day. Hope to see you another time!

 

My bad I meant tC/xB.

I should have remembered your pose for the picture. That was very funny! It was also great meeting your club. Nice bunch of people!

 

No prob. Yeah they got some nice stuff on there.

 

That pose was for you. I will be signing those in x10 versions at the next event. Since I am getting rid of the xA I am becoming a import model.
