First off - THANK YOU!!!!! This show would not have had the chance to be a success if it weren't for all the great members in this community. I was thoroughly amazed with how well everything happened today and how great the community as a whole was able to mix and enjoy spending time talking and enjoying each others cars. Final Count for those interested - 28 Foci - 11 Non-foci - 39 Cars Total Showing :)

Next - Steve. Without you this show wouldn't have happened. Period. Thank you soooooo much for everything you did on your end. You got some sweet prizes put in the raffle, got us the location, spread a ton of word about the event, and made some great grub! Thanks for everything you do for us Steve. Thanks for everything.

Kyle - Thanks for helping me with a lot of the planning of the show and being someone I could vent to when I got hung up on something in the planning stage. Thanks for helping out and also for making the decals for all of us. Great job on both your awards you took home today, you DEFINATELY deserved them.

Jared and Ryan - Thanks for coming to assist me with the show. You guys did a great job taking pictures, helping with registration, and for being impartial 'non-focus' members that weren't competing to run the voting. Thanks guys!

Tousley - Thanks for the location and the prizes. Also, thanks for buying the food for everyone! I hope we can continue this and have you host us again next year! Thanks also for all the great deals you let Steve give us all :)

DB Performance - Thanks for the dyno time. I know the winning members will sure enjoy that!! Also thanks for being a true tuner we can count on.

North Country Ford (Roush/Saleen Dealers) - Thanks for the shirts! Great prizes to add, sorry I missed your name, I would have liked to mention it. Let me know when you want to sponsor my car ;) ;)

Trahma - Thanks for the help planning dude. Sorry your car wasn't able to make the show :(

Thanks again to everyone and anyone I may have missed. The show was a huge success and I was extremely glad to be a part of today. Also thanks everyone who voted for me :) The first trophy I've gotten with this car, it means a lot. :D

Big thanks to you also Nils, Kyle, Justin and everyone that showed up.

To be honest none of this wouldn't have happened without all the support we get from you guys, It was really amazing today because I knew almost everyone there if not be name at least by the car or face.

The T-shirts were from Miles from North Country Ford, They handle Roush and Saleen parts (if anyone needs them) and they (at least partially) sponsor an SCCA rally SVTF which we had hoped would be there today. It couldn't make it due to other commitments.

One last thing, Justin. Thanks for making it today even briefly, and I have to ask who's your friend with the Cougar?

Thats Sara, from Duluth. She is on our mnsc show team. It was really sweet to also see so many new cars I hadn't seen before. There sure are some amazing cars out there, congrats everyone. I didn't see one 'bad' car today. Thanks again Steve!

I posted my pics in the gallery. Big thank you to everyone. It was a great first show, the only bad part was running out of food/drinks but then again I didn't think there were gonna be that many people. I got to meet new faces and see members I haven't seen in while. There are a lot more focuses than we see on this forum and those people should start steppin up and start posting. Some damn nice focuses popped up we didn't even know where local. I really appreciate the comments I got on my car from everybody too, even though it's not a focus.

Now we should plan a dyno day so I can use those runs thanks to the raffle & DB Performance and some peer pressure from Yorik, Mars and Roman.

Name tags!! I want name tags, i am horrible with names (pronouncing and remembering!)

Besides that it was fantastic seeing all these foci together, I've been around since the inception of MNFOCUS and to see it grow to this is fantastic. Can't wait for the next one. Great job Nils!!!
Slower than your stock focus.

I think name tags are a great idea, Pre-registration will be a priority as well so we can have a little extra food and drink.

I was actually suprised how many names I did remember, I'm usually horrible with names.

I had a great time at the show. I am glad I was able to help you guys out so much. You are all a fun bunch of people. Maybe next year I will have the Elantra in more of a showing mood. Instead of a cone basher mood.

Congrats to all of the winners, and Nils you did a fantastic job little buddy.

I was saying the same thing, If Nils had that blower on, I probably would have been in contention for my Category.
