^what he said. great event

[NightRider80]

Yeah great event I can't wait to see the pictures that everybody took. I am sorry I was such a lazy ass for pictures yesterday. Just staying up for dam near 4 days straight + heat = Extreme laziness for me. lol But I saw some very nice cars out yesterday. HIN came correct this time for sure. I was very disappointed that they took away the VIP award, pissed me off. I think I had a decent chance at 1st or runner up. :-( I was pretty sad about that.


BTW Omega it was cool to finally talk to you, well kind of sort of. haha You seem like a real cool person. Don't think on that other crap. I will catch you again next time I am in town. The Z looked alot better in person than pictures. They just don't do it justice in pics. I hate when that happens.

INC it was GREAT to finally meet you guys/gals. Ya'll are awsome! I had a great time with you guys. I will try and make it back more often to go to events and such. Hopefully by the time I get back in town next time we can get together again for dinner or something. Yes, Yes, Nightrider80 has officially met some people off INC and no HELL did not freeze over so don't make any travel plans anytime soon. hahha

i had a really good time at the event. It's great seeing ppl i only get to see like once a year. Larry, your car looks great man. Congrats to Rich and Team Chozen, keep up the good work. I spent a good amount of time in the shade with my INC peeps and had a great time. A big thanx to all of the photographers and our friends who models for us. We had a nice little crowd at our tent so that was fun. A big thanx to Ryan for taking care of all of the tents and stuff. I hate to have to bounce out early and leave the mess up for Ryan to take care of. You are the man.

It was really nice meeting ALOT of new people.

INC took home 3rd place for club participation. Team Chozen won first, followed by Team Emotion, then our members showed up with 3rd largest crowd... Thanks alot guys. I'll post up pics of the nice trophy in appreciation.

I think we'll have 1000's of pics in the near future.

Special thanks to Anh Tuan for heading up alot of this event for us. And to all our beautiful models who make us look so much better everytime their around.

I'm kinda pissed at the judging, HIN cant seem to get it right! When I was being staged, I just I was placed in the "Performance" class, I didnt think nothing of it until I mustered up the strength to walk around after almost dying of heat exhaustion! I noticed a lot of people was in the "Driven" class, so upon being judged, which I felt was thorough, I asked about the criteria and they didnt even know! So once the awards came around I was curious as to who won and it was that Green convertible that originally was in the Ultimate class. Aparently he was at another HIN & conmpeted in the Ultimate class, lost so they downgraded him to Performance. I think thats fucked up & unfair, if he's on that level he should stay there. I think that's like a Heavyweight getting knocked out, so they move him down in weight...w/o losing the weight, so he can win!

CONGRATS to everyone who won, Over all i think it was an OK event, i would except more from HIN, I was not happy at all how the judging was done, the guy who judged my car had no idea about cars...he asked me what coilovers and HKS was? i was like you are kidding me right...! They need to keep one judge per manufacturer...it would make things a lot easier and right.


It was nice meeting all the INC members out there, especially NightRider80 with his clean GS300...love the junction Produce goodies :-). Bowie it was nice seeing you after a long time!!! we need to get a big INC meet going
