I'll 'third' the thanks to Xander, Kozue and Dave for putting together a great get-together. And to the sponsors that provided support. It was great to be a part of it again this year.

Thank you for all of those that came out... it was a way better turn out than expected (even with the prices for everything that has gone up)...we agreed a total of between 40 - 50 showed up throughout the day... I'm glad to hear that everyone had a good time despite some small obstacles... we had fun planning this out and wish the best of luck to who ever gets to host next year

i hope i get to see all of you again and that you all made/make it home safe.

**thank you nissan and all the other sponsors for making this happen!!**

It was all catered food. From pulled pork, chicken, to beans, rib tips, corn bread, macaroni con queso and some other stuff..... Lots of leftovers....

Thanks to all who made it worth while. Guys did a great job putting it together. Fun time overall, had a chance to talk to some good people.

Raffle prizes were great...including a Nissan Swiss Army Watch, Duffle bag, pens, shot glasses, led flashlights, coasters, nissan t-shirts and mechanic/tech work shirts, backpacks, gift certs from Cattman (2x$50 each), umbrellas, can coolers, stainless travel coffee mugs, hoodie sweat shirts...more prizes than people.

Good job pulling it off guys! I wish i could have gotten to the events earlier each time but, well, i had NO IDEA my way around the city so i had to wait for someone to play follow-the-leader with.

But yeah, I won a T-Shirt for "most insanely long drive to get here" coming in at 857 miles and 14 hours. I still haven't left yet... i slept like 12 hours just now so i'll be nice and rested to arrive back in raleigh at like 5am.

Lots of awesome cars there... 3.5L 4G... VGT 400WHP 3G.... SC 4G... tom's shiny-as-hell 5G... and even the 7G. Too bad it left before i made my way back over to it .

Whether in Chicago next year, or somewhere else (hopefully east of the Mississippi) I hope to return next year with much more of a car to show myself, and get to see what other crazy mods and gadgets you all come up with over a year's time. O yea, and BBQ=<3

Thanks for coming guys I had a lot of fun. Lots of good stuff was raffled off, and a lot of people showed up. A big thanks to Continental Nissan, Nissan, Cattman, Meguiars, Truax Motorsports, Internet Brands, and of course you guys that attended. If it wasn't for these sponsors and you guys, this event would have not taken place. Hopefully next year will be bigger and better than this years. And wherever it is I will try my hardest to make it out there. And if I can't take my Maxima, I will rent a Maxima.

I also just wanted to thank Xander, Kozue and Dave, you guys did a great job! I was only able to attend the Sunday festivities, but it was worth it. I didn't expect so much stuff to be raffled off or catered food either. Met some cool people, smoked exotic mango in a hookha, and saw some nice cars. Good meeting you all. See you in '09.
