POS VETT Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Detailing until midnight ? I call that dedication ! I usually make sure the car is presentable (transparent material is smudge free, interior is dustless & free of clutter, no brake dust on wheels, clean & shiny exhaust tips, treated tire sidewalls, no mud/dirt anywhere including tire thread, etc.) and let the car do the showing, but the car doesn't go in front of a panel of NCRS judges or the likes. I'll see if I could stop by & even park/show my car; my schedule is packed because my wife & I are on a car hunt (entering 3rd week) & there are 4 potentials (one is in Cincinnati) for today.

99StockGT Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Just wanted to say thank you for all who came out, ended up with a pretty great mix of cars and met some awesome friendly people. For our first show in the "series?" I think it went pretty well, hopefully some of the swag goes to good use too! Photos to be posted soon.

BrendanB Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Unfortunately I had to work till 4:30 today, anyone got pics of the event? Glad to hear it was a good turnout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Austin, thanks for putting this together. It was great to meet you and everything seemed to go smoothly. Loved your lemans. QFT It was clear that you and your staff put some hard work into this to make it go well. :thumbup: Hanging out with CR friends (I believe about a dozen attended), checking out the cars, and enjoying the spring weather ....... does it get much better? Congrats to Dharris89 (best interior, new school), Antwan (most intimidating engine bay), and Ramsey (most promising project) for winning. CR members took three of the five awards against tough competition. Way to represent! Edited April 15, 2013 by Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 wish i would have seen this yesterday , dam Have you checked the Calendar feature lately? Nick and Mitch are doing a great job of keeping it accurate. If you make a habit of checking it for 15 seconds every week, you shouldn't ever miss a car event in the area again.

99StockGT Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Definitely had some solid CR representation at the show today, really appreciate you guys coming out. Any feedback positive or negative is always appreciated as it will help me fine tune things for the future. Was great meeting with those I had the chance to speak with both at C&C on Saturday and the show today. We were certainly blessed with the weather today, those "No rain" dances paid off for sure. Hope you all didn't mind me cutting you loose a little early just didn't want the show to drag on too long and felt like things were sputtering a bit. The LeMans has a little that needs done to it next week while I'm out of the country but once I'm back it should be ready for spring/summer duty I have photos I'm downloading now and will post up this evening.

Fire your dj.... or not have one at all the dj kept changing sons every 30 seconds and was all over the place with the type of music.. no flow. Personally I vote no dj as it gets too loud(wow I sound old) when you are trying to talk to people Other than that, it was awesome event.

zeitgeist57 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I swung by around 3pm...had a lot of family stuff going on. Saw Nick Zeyen's FFR Cobra (family friend) and a few cars that showed it was a good turnout! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Well hopefully the family stuff was positive stuff, I think largely we all had a good time as well. The DJ situation was a tad annoying, all kinds of mix ups on what they were to bring/we were to provide as well as music selection...but lets be honest here who DOESN'T like some Adele at 1030 in the morning during a carshow? /facepalm I turned everyone loose around 2 felt like the show was getting a little long in the tooth and people were getting twitchy. Think we ended up with a grand total of 34 cars for the day so not too bad a showing. There were a few cars that rolled in between 230-3 which I would have love to have gotten involved, unfortunately maybe next time! No rain, no cops, no crashes = Successful car show?

POS VETT Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 It wasn't bad for a car show in its infancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Definitely a learning experience. Hopefully everyone got a hat! Lol As I said any feedback is definitely welcome, we are most likely going to do a summer show as well just want to make sure it doesn't conflict with other events already scheduled. The more we can show that there's a community support behind this kind of thing the more I can get the powers that be to loosen the purse strings and our vendors to kick things in. Really appreciate all of you who came out or passed the word, it shows the quality of people we have here that most of you not even knowing me you came out to support the show and the cause. It IS nice to let my brain cool down and focus on one less thing for a little while though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSXRAntwon Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Thanks for putting on a great show. There were awesome cars there, and the Skyline gifts were yummy. Thanks for the "Most Intimidating Engine Bay" award :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Thanks for coming out, was awesome to see that thing in person for the first time. Just so you know, I didn't do any of the judging myself! Hopefully we all spent a lil money at Skyline, got to keep the food sponsors happy so we can do it again in the summer or fall For the small budget I had to work with for a first example show it went pretty well I think. Definitely some things I would change, but that's what the second show is for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99StockGT Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Wish I had more parking at my new store, think we could do an amazing one up here in Powell! Don't want to have people parking all around the building with the crowd all split up Must...find...a...way! I DO wish that the weather would have gotten warmer and I had some more time to shoot, could have gotten some awesome pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
