Default Official Thank you and 130 + pics from FocusSport

Big thanks to every single person who attended the Focus on the Beach show this year! I think this year was the best so far due to the overall fun factor, incredible sponsors, awesome location and weather, and great attendees.

Aside from thanking everyone as a whole, in no particular order, there are a few that need some special thanks:

Todd Wilson, Stacy Wilson, and their hardworking staff

Rachel Perez and Clint Boisdeau for their help "off the clock"

Ron and the rest of the FJ allstars

Kristina aka HotRodKris for the graphics and design

Rob aka Tribal for the name tagage

Hale for the stickers

Microsoft Auto and Microsoft XBox - Declan and Randy, respectively

H&R - ALWAYS coming thru when we need them. HUGE thanks to them.

Ford Warriors in Pink

Garrett Turbo

Exedy

Saleen/Racecraft

3dCarbon

XIOS Motorworks

NASA

Massive

Work Wheels

The Street Tuner Challenge film crew

Todd Parker and whomever brought the generator from Todd's house

My only regret is that I didn't get to talk to everyone as much as I would have liked to and there were many people that I didn't even get to say "hi" to at all. The show always seems to fly by and before I realize it, we're breaking down and heading out. I got to meet many new people and spend some time with some old skoolers, too so overall it was a great time.

Thank you once again, we are very grateful to be involved with such an awesome community!

That was fun!

For what it's worth, I think you'd make a GREAT Rodeo Clown!

Here are some pics from Rachel's camera. I need to keep this thread separate so I can use this for a few things, please don't merge into the other pics thread.

And yes I know that some of these are very similar to each other. I'm going to go thru and delete some probably - just ran out of time to go thru every single one right now.

Those pics were shot by Ivan, Declan, and others. I didn't take one single pic that day IIRC. I just worked on them a bit and loaded them onto our server.

The plan is to have some of the filmed content be on the next season of Street Tuner Challenge. I have no idea when though.

Its the new 3dCarbon front bumper for the 2005-2007 models. We should have them in the next few months I hope.

Frickin' awesome shots, Ivan...

The second one of Stout makes him look like another Ogre. The first one makes his ass look fat.



I like the two pics of Rachel; the one w/ Roundeye and the one of her genuflecting in front of her hawt white hatch.



All in all, a great batch O' snaps.
