Not sure where to begin with this one so here goes. Thank you everyone for attending.
thanks.gif
Without your love, support, and dedication . . . our little annual meet wouldn't be where it is today. I know there was a lot of doubt about this year as last year tanked so badly it was dubbed TexFail. :ahhhhh: With many key members from previous year not attending, lots things were stacked against us, we thank you for having faith in our redemption. Lots of hard work & preparation went into making sure everyone had a good time, hope that translated well in the final product. Always nice to see some old friends, and make some new one as well. Being that its a homecoming event this year for Houston members, we wanted to go big or go home!!! :rockon::rockon:


Thank you NST Mike for so many things I don't even know where to start. First off, for coordinating your drift event with our TexFest. I know lining up two big event was no easy task, lots of headache & frustration....but I think you'll agree that it turn out very well. Thank you for opening up your garage, hosting the mod day, and providing food & beverage for us. Getting shirts printed, license plate made, and distributing everything. Let's not forget awesome up front vip parking at the drift event. Your dedication and hospitality is much appricated sir! :adore:

Thank you Gadget for making the trip, you're always welcome here in Texas. Also for bringing special goody for us to check out at show & tell portion of the evening. :eek: The inside scoope, public unveiling if you will, meant a lot to us. Thanks again for your continue support.

Thank you Mark (Torspd) and Brittany (motonxruchick184) for your generous hospitality toward Kevin (sdxrunner619), whom they've never met in person. Opening up your place for him to stay, wrench, and all around base camp. Thank you Mark for your accommodation of all-things wrenching related that weekend . . . and then some, much appreciated brother. Still true to this day, wrenching . . . its a life style!! :top:

Thank you Danny (NUPEPRIME) and Brittany for hosting an open bar Saturday night. Danny's famous fire water is no joke, this man is always ready to party!
ohyeah.gif
Also for bringing your plasma & xbox so we can get our Forza4 on at mod day. Everyone would agreed, Brittany, your mixing skill is quite exceptional. Everyone got an O-face after all said & done :laugh: Thanks again for setting such a brisk pace returning from Baytown. Good to see ya again on the highway. Hopefully it won't be too long 'til we meet again.

Thank you Austin (RatRod) for pitching in and helping out with staffing on Sunday. :secruity:Tell your sister her cupcakes are welcome at the meet anytime. Your Sharpie skill is impressive young padawan.

Thank you Justin (just615in) for your camera works, which is exceptional mister youtube superstar. Our TexFest '11 event has an official vid!! :crinklehair:
Thank you Ketchup, Butters, and Manchex for attending. I know it was not the shortest drive so you're presents meant a lot to us . . . even if its for only a short stay. Glad to see Butters enjoy the lapdance you gave him Keith! :laugh:

Thank you Brian (MusTRD) & Mike (Slay0r) for coming out and represent your region, especially when you roll in solo. Condiments are always welcome here . . . can't believe we don't have a Mayo yet lol. Mike don't even have an XR anymore and still wanna come & kick it, what a trooper! Thanks guys for attending, much appreciated.

Thank you Nate (RedXRunner) & Matt (trd_sport). This was a huge undertaking, couldn't have pull this off without your help. With everything else that goes on in our own personal lives, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to pitch in and get this done. :blurock:

Thank you Kevin (sdxrunner619) for deciding to attend the event. Having a huge truck meet at drift event without one of us out there sliding just seems wrong.:burnout2: Thanks for reppin' for us out there, you did exceptionally well good sir. All the parts for your truck prior to leaving shows up on time, got green light from work & school . . . things start to fall into place. And for the record, there was no pressure lol . . . just wanted to make that you're not gonna regret it if you miss the event that's all. I only show you what was possible, it was all your own decision . . . or was it? o_O
A drift inside a meet inside a dream inside a normal life . . . we need to go deeper, kick it down another level!!!

Last but not certainly not least, we would like to say thank you to our kind sponsors who send in generous donation to be raffled to our attendee. Much appreciated to those who came through for us. :top:

Hurray MusTrd :adore:. Where there were many, there is now one. Lol.

I would like to say thank you America. With out such an awesome country, how could so many great people pull together to do such great things to share with each other.

Mike, Matt, Grumpy, Nate, you guys rule. To go from guys talking and wrenching on forum to a huge event that encorporated mini racing to Pro Racing, screen name to In-Person, regular guy to being a part of something so grand. It really makes me feel special reflecting on all of that.

Because it took each and every one of us and told us that we weren't just another spectator. WE...were the participants. That is what you guys were able to pull off. So very well done. Thank all.

Thank all of the vendors. Your generosity spreads by word of mouth and is a win win for the customer and yourself. I had no part in getting vendor support for the event, but a Thank You is still given. Lots of happy faces were abound at the raffle due to all of you. That means a lot! :top:

P.S. Sorry Gadget, I wish the head gasket did not go out before you got to do a test drive. Next year.

^^ AMERICA F*CK YEAH!!!! :rockon::rockon:

Thanks again for letting me put the pedal to the metal on the Torspd turbo . . . even though I probably contributed to the gasket problem. :(
Your truck has come a loooooong way since I first met you. Don't loose sight of your target and keep on truckin'!!

yup....glad you could make it! Good to see your radar detector works lol

Hard to believe but I was behaving on the highway. Didn't get pull over for speeding, first time for everything I suppose lol.
