My 2 cents
I would like to give a big thank you to all the volunteers. Without you guys, there would have been no meet AT ALL. Raiden/morgan was superb on traffic duty as with all the volunteers that were involved. All others that stepped up to the plate and jumped right in to help without asking, i cannot and will not have enough words to express how thankful i am for all your help. Tommy/Niteraven as the ring leader could not have done a better job under the circumstances. Jace and Choo both did what i cannot do in my state after the car accident, my soul and spirit is willing, but my body and back cant.
Judging: I picked an independant single person to secretly go around counting up car groups. He after going back and counting twice, told me that BCMazda3 had edged out Vancouver Civics Club by a whopping couple cars. Now if he miss counted, then thats just how it is. He himself does not drive either car nor have a family member, or gf that drives one. As for best of show, his decision on the AE86 by SpeedSyndicate was of his decision. Neither choices had my bias opinion involved. I however will stand behind their decision.
Next year, give me more accurate numbers. In the final 12hrs prior to the meet, i had no less than 18 pm's in regards to number changes, different crews and clubs with the title "i know its last minute and pass the closing time BUT..."
If you didnt get back to me in the 3 months prior to the event, you werent gonna get much of a response from me. Sorry to all the crews that did try to come in early. The floor plan was good, but due to extra ppl showing, they overflowed the lot. My only contest to that is next year i need to find a venue big enough to fit 1000 cars, then and only then will everyone be satisfied!
Thank you all the vendors for coming out. This year, with a lot of back n forth phone tagging, i finally convinced PAS Mag to come out, and see first hand what a Revscene meet is like. No description can be said to explain what an RS meet is like. It must be seen first hand, and experienced. They brought along Yokohama (sold a lot of your tires when i was at advance) which had not heard much about revscene, as we dont openly advertise to the world of our presence. I hope they liked what they experienced. going from North to South, we had a lot of new firsts, and new shops come out showing their love for the scene. We had Brian Jessel Autohaus, making their very first appearance at a Revscene Summer Meet. They brought along RED BULL (THANK GOD!) which surprisingly go hand in hand with the car modding world (go figure!). Speed Syndicate making their first appearance as well, debuted boldly with their claim to fame, fastest CLS55 AMG in north america while not leaving their heart the racing world heritage with the fresh AE86. Vancouver Euros along with e90post came out to show euros are strong and alive. Blackmarkers rounds the lifestyles of the car scene with they street style clothing lines. TEAM Celica, ClubLexus, though small, still came out to show their loyalty! Gearheads, new to RS but not new to the scene came out in full strength with Evo 10s. It wouldnt be an RS meet without Blitzgear and RTR (resist the race) along side with us (HI KARLA!!!) Another 2 new to RS are Total Visage to keep ur car safe, and ECOWash and Flawless to keep ur car clean. Sounds Good put on the car audio competition with Team Shadow to bring out the audio side for our CAR SCENE. Your car might be fast, it might even look good, but u also need it to sound good to make it a true contender! Drive Hard, Toyo Tires and Rise Performance round off the vendors section with their sick rides that no one will ever understand the man hours involved in creating each piece of art.
Car Clubs! Big shout out goes to (in no particular order)
- BC Mr2, TypeR club, Evo Garage, SupraClub (2jz love!), Battle Garage, Nissan Infinity Club, BC Mazda3, Vancouver Civics Club, Club Lancer, NAOASDSDA crap! i can never remember your name cuz ive always called you guys the Scooby Club, Mk5's (volks wagen gee tee ai), dorikaze, accords, club RSX, Hyundai Tiburons, Acurazine (sorry guys for having to make u move, ill buy you guys a round if i run into u guys at a restaurant or a club or a bubble tea shop...
I probably missed a bunch of clubs, and ppl, and vendors, but its late, my back pain meds ran out a long time ago, and i gotta be at work by 7:30.
Nite y'all
