LOL - also - dont forget to shower straight afterwards, get arrested for corruption, and then you'll be able to run for president around here!

The event was awesome, especially for the sx club! Unfortunately the weather turned for the worse early on and spoiled the day. We all got soaked in the rain, had to abandon the gazebo, pack everything up and shelter under the grand stand. This didn't prevent the drifters from putting on a show, with Florin and Jayboy showing real class under the treacherous conditions. The SX club got our moment of glory when we did our parade lap and showed off our cars to the enthusiastic crowd. We had a new record attendance of about 18 cars! Maybe more. The event was cancelled after the drift show due to the bad weather. Hopefully the next one doesn't get rained out...

Toby only forgot 1 thing, thanks to Hotstuff for organising the caps/stickers/banner!

The rain made it challenging but as with all athletics that rain out the spirit of the crowd couldn't be washed away.

I hope our parade laps were caught on Video from the outside. Widowmaker was my co-pilot and also got some footage on my camera. Youtube here he come 🙂

The drifters were mindbogglingly good considering the conditions, with speeds still high enough to raise your blood pressure.

George it looked liked you were driving on a mirror of liquid metal from T2 with all that water.

Even tho it rained it was still great!!!

So when is the "get all the photos and Vids event"

hah, I would love to get vids of the drifting. But I culdnt take vids, cuz my memory card was already full 🙁 And, erm.. sum of my photos are a bit blurry 🙁 cuz I was taking photos with one hand in the rain 🙁

But the other photos that are clear looks great, and the club drive by and line up I got on vid. The popping headlights look awesome, and I think it shuld be a 200sx club 'thing' to pop the headlights up and down for an event 8)

And thanks once again to qewrty for bringing braai equipment, extra meat, and chairs! They all came in very handy 🙂

Oh, btw... I was feeling like making a music vid of the event 😀 so I'll post it up once its done.. though if anyone can sponsor more video material from yesterday, especially if anyone caught the drifting.. it will be greatly appreciated 😉 Cuz it seems I only got enough for about 1:30 min.. lol

Pitty about the rain, feel bit sorry for Otto his car just didn't perform in the rain, but big up to Florin, Johnathan, George and Charl they put up an excellent show despite the weather.

Hotstuff bigup for the massive organizing on your behalf, Qwerty for the braai, Chemcool for braai'ing my meat again 😉 Toby for coffee

Just forward everyone (including me) some details... we'll deposit the monies 😉

Great caps thanks dude

Yea thanx for the caps they very nice yust give me a shout once youve got more made and where can i get hold of you for them stickers? Still would like to have them.

i think 18 is a few too short.

i know that about an hour after the count, nismo pitched up with japspec, jerry (importparts) and stephen.

i rekcon it was more like 20 cars hey!

and yes - big ups to the opposite lock dudes.

you guys rocked hey. the weather was superkak but you guys outdid yourselves.

it was awesome.

I think it was a great day for the club and also one that ought to set the precident in terms of attendance for the rest of the year.

Thanks to eveyone who attended / supported / took part and helped out. Always good to put a face (and real name) to the nickname...

For those of you who where unable to be there, I'm sure you'd get so jealous when you see some of the pics with the number of SX'es that where there.

I'll start another thread for the marketing / promotional material and stuff. I have caps, badges, stickers, membership cards, banners, coffee mugs, mouse pads (who still uses that stuff???), pens and keyrings that I've designed for the club. Keep an eye out for the samples thereof. Riekert, you are still our t-shirt guy as I do not wanna steal your joy!!!! Thanks for your efforts too, much appreciated!

Thanks once again to everyone who helped organise, pitched up and supported.
