Thats fine man i completely understand it was great meeting you too. Like i said that was my first car show other than the ones i put the gto in. Also yours was only the 2nd modded matrix i have ever seen (the other matrix there being the first on). I had a great time, was very impressed by all the cars there especially yours. They all gave me great ideas and i already started ordering parts to give them a try. Ill be heading back to jersey soon, but if i am ever out in the mid-west again i will definately hit yuo up so we can do this again or have a mini-meet or something. You just cant beat great times with great people

Whoooa Pat...
No Love (photos) for Rogers Matrix and my Celica All-Trac Turbo??? I forgot my camera and Roger didn't want to bring his wifes heavy artillary. We have been scouring the web and can't find any pics posted of Rogers Matrix at the show. Can you help us out bro???
Glad you told us about this at the HCMO meet! It was a great time. The only thing that would have made it better was to have more of you HCMO guys tearing your cars apart to swap intakes and stuff. You guys killed me with your swap-fest in Grand Rapids, I wish the Celica guys would be that couragous.
We plan on attending next year too!!
Pat, do you happen to have a pic of my son when he won the 3rd place tropy for the RC cars? My buddys camera refused to capture the moment.
