Ryan had contact with Rich. Was told that we did take best club award again this year, however trophy would not be ready until probably wednesday sometime to be picked up. Do you still have the other 2? We need to locate them to make sure they are together.
Ok Neloc,, where to start...
First and foremost, again, I want to thank each and everyone of you guys for coming out to show some love and support for an event in which we always roll deep. There were alot of setbacks and changes, and I thank you for bearing with me while we were trying to iron them out. The official attendance count for our group was 47cars. This number is incluesive of all who pre-registered, those of you who showed up and had to register on the spot, at the gate, as well as quite a few new members who will be posting their intro's here in the next few days. Although, this was a drop in the OVERALL attendance number which we had last year, as BernieIS stated, there were def ALOT more LEXUS cars that did show and with open cooperation from Gotham VIP we rose the bar to a new higher standard. Thanks GUYS!! I think that overall, everyone did seem to have fun. It was nice meeting MANY of you guys that I only talk to on forums.
Smitty, Ryan, Cliff, Soup, I want to thank you guys for making sure that everyone got inside the grounds ok and got parked while I was dealing with those who needed to register on the spot, late comers, as well as jump start a fellow member who killed their battery in the Expo Center parking lot. Needless to say, the problems never seemed to stop coming early in the morning. With the attendance numbers being so liberal this year, we were able to play a little more with the parking situation and I am glad that it worked out well and the crowds seemed to love the new arrengements. Special thanks goes out to the Gotham VIP crew for helping to add an extra bit of hotness to our area this year. Also, not to slight anyone, I want to thank the members of IS fanatics as well as my NELOC family for all of their continued support.
As cliff stated, even though the show itself was smaller and show participation was down this year, the continued flow of traffic through our area did not diminish one bit. The fact that we were pretty much in the area by ourselves, with very little activity going on around us did not seem to take away the crowd enthusiasm at all. I heard nothing but positive comments about everyone's rides, people were just losing their minds over all of the air ride equipped hotness, and drooling over the turbo installs. Some of our "return" spectators were commenting about one fo the reasons for coming to the show this year, was to see what our group had in store for the show this year; and we certainly did not disappoint.
Thai, Great job with the T-shirts. Everyone was happy to finally get them. It was great to finally meet you and Anna as well.
Ultra VIP, GS was sick as usual and the roping off around the car just added an extra added touch. As usual great to see you and Sam again.
MrG,, your first Carlisle and you are hoked already. Great to see you again and the club on Sat night was bananas. look forward to the next time.
Greenvy, you know how much I love seeing the green machine and, I didnt even thin it was possible, gained an even higher respect for it. Damn, I need a 98+ LS now.
Excluesive, you have learned a very valuable lesson this weekend, and discovered just how good your wheels can look with a little TLC and some work. The end result came out VERY WELL. I don't think that you stopped "cheesin" the whole weekend, once you found out the new found skill of taking care of your wheels. LOL! Good to see you again bruh, next round is on me next time.
There are WAYYYYY too many people to name one by one here, but you know who you are and I tried to get to at least speak to every one of you. THANK ALL OF YOU SOO MUCH FOR COMING OUT TO SHOW SUPPORT!!!!

There's nothing to "locate". As I told you at the BBQ and before then, yes I have the trophies. Ryan has volunteered to take them and will now be responsible for them going forward.
