[04MatrixXR]

What no respect for a fellow MOer? Nah im just kidding. More seriously though, that was one hell of a show, lots of fun and a lot of really nice cars. Thanks for putting up that post and lettin us know where all the cool cats hang out (lol). Ill be loadin some pics of my own probably tonight, since we spent all last night on the road.

[happyhooder]

LOL... sorry about that man... got distracted alot by some old faces... it was a great show in terms of cars and fellow owners...

btw they combo the corollas and matrix... that old school that had mirrors got 1st...

[04MatrixXR]

sweet, ya i never really expected to get any trophies anyway (except maybe a long-haul one, lol) I was just coming for a good time and to check out some good cars, and it definately was that.

[happyhooder]

btw, it was great meeting you man... sorry for the short talks... i was like a kid with ADD at a candy store...

[04MatrixXR]

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

[happyhooder]

thanks for the props man... yeah man hit us up if you got questions or what not... hope you had a great time out here...

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.

[04MatrixXR]

Well here ya go, it not much but it something. Obviously you know that that is Roger's car on the right and that is my car on the left.

[happyhooder]

my bad guys, this show became more like a reunion with ALOT of guys that i met through out the years which made this show a 100% BLAST... got home i was like O_O f***... where is the rest of the pics.... i extremely FAIL on my end...

i found some, i didn't met your son Todd...

btw... someone has to do something to compete against the corollas now since they merge the corollas and matrix together... and no i might not... i know where i lost the points thanks to the ncca judging...
