RIVERSIDE-INFINITI Show/Meet

Hey guys I just wanted to thank everyone for coming out to the event we had here at our dealership. It was a huge success thanks to you guys and the continued support you have shown us. We look forward to hosting this event again next year

I also wanted to take the time real quick to thank our vendors that showed up and contributed to this event. Special thanks to:

I was also posting this thread up to see if I could get you guys to post some comments on what you thought of the show, what you liked, what you didn't like, what we could do different next year.

Please keep in mind as this was our first show we didn't know what to expect so we planned the best we could and worked with what we had.

Again thanks to everyone that came out to support and special thanks to my crew here at RIVERSIDE-INFINITI for coming in on there days off to help pull this together and the late nights worked to help make the event what it was

I'll be the first to post a comment on what I thought of the show.

It was great event, huge turnout, over 200+ cars that came in and out as the day went on. What made it hard was the limited trophies we had, so that made the judging a bit harder and more intense to pull out the best of winners.

So many clean cars that attended and I would like to open classes to stock/mild/wild and open the categories to G35 Coupe, G37 Coupe, G35 first gen sedan, G35/G37 2nd Gen Sedan, 350Z, 370Z and possibly 300Z since we did have a few clean ones that came out.

The Judging was based upon well rounded cars and that included: paint, interior, audio, engine, body work, wheels, brakes and as well as how everything was pulled together. All those things had to be touched upon in order to score the points.

We had a few G35 coupe winners, 2 first gen sedan winners, a 350Z and 370Z. There were a few G37 coupes that really got my attention, but the aftermarket support isn't as big as it is for the G35 coupes. That's why I would love to open it up with the street/mild/wild catergories or even just the street/mild and then the elite cars could compete in the best of categories. Just trying to think of ways to make it fair and fun for everyone. Probably add a few more best of categories as well.

Thanks again Rick for all your efforts in putting this event together. It was really cool of Riverside Infiniti to do all that. You guys did great being that it was a first time event, and I would love to continue attending and hope this will become an annual gathering.

I think what you said about the trophies is a perfect idea. I think a lot more G37s would show knowing that they have a better shot at competing. Let's face it, we just can't keep up with the 35s yet. Street class, mild and wild sounds like great ideas. And separating classes between 35 and 37 is a necessity.

Thanks again for arranging everything, and the great deals on products were awesome too.

Maybe a LIVE band would be cool! In between sets you can do raffles and a DJ can host.

I say just better music..

The raffle and great prices made up for it though. And more classes for trophies in the future will be dope.

.. Leave me some feedback for my trader score! Hahaha
