here are a couple of picture threads
the show part really sucked, very disorganized and the classes were not fair
instead of toyota I was put into luxury/exotic
I was in the same class with 2 BMWs ?????
Don't know why there were NOT in the EURO class.

i had the worst luck finding this place took me about 5 hrs to get there even with GPS never again will i go up to gaysville and the show was a rip off. bunch of riced out cars that i see on the streets all the time. not one VIP or exotic car looked more like a walmart parking lot to me i want my money back!!!! >: (

but there were just a sprinkle of nice jdm inspired cars here n there that i liked and sum nice bikes that about it but still not worth the time and $

I agree, it was a bit ghetto with the donks blasting the music like it was a music video.

apparently there must have been some kind of VIP and exotic since that was the class I was in and didn't win anything.

event was a waste of a beautiful Sunday and $$

thanks again 1stGS
