2009 NICOFEST Carlisle: THANK YOU! To all who attended...

Post by **AZhitman** » Mon May 11, 2009 7:29 am

Sitting in the airport getting ready to head back to NICO HQ and reflecting on this weekend, I wanted to take a minute to say THANK YOU to all of you who showed up and made NICOfest Carlisle a HUGE success!

Carlisle is always one of my favorite venues because of how interactive it is, and this one was no exception...

Great work on the autocross course, some awesome drifting action, and best of all, good times hanging out and meeting fellow Nissan enthusiasts.

Special thanks to Brian (LBC) and the Altima Coupe crew - You guys showed up in force and showed the rest of the Nissan community how it SHOULD be done!!!

My parents made a surprise visit to this event... even though I've been driving this train for over 6 years, they'd never seen what NICO is all about. To those of you who welcomed them and made them feel at home, THANK YOU. They had a great time and really understand what I mean when I tell them that you guys are FAMILY.

Also, I was proud to introduce my fiancee Becky (nissangirl74) to her first NICO event - To those of you who made her feel welcome, THANK YOU. That meant a TON to me, and she had an absolute blast hanging out this weekend.

Torry, Andy, Joel, Seth, Brian, DJ and the rest of the staffers - Thanks for all your hard work... You guys kicked major a$$ and pulled it off yet again.

I'm sure I'm missing a ton of props here, but I'm exhausted and just ready to get home and get some rest... Thanks again to everyone who pitched in, helped out, lent a hand, or just showed up. We rocked Carlisle, thanks to all of you.

And a big thank you deserves to go right back at the Staff! This was the second time I attended the event, but was actually able to hang out with you guys this year. I will try my hardest to make it to at least one more event this year!

Greg asking me to go visit Torry et al in the woods in the dark, semi drunk... I've heard enough stories - and they are all true, and hilarious!

And for the record - the beer was delivered from Frapjap to Greg, hopefully he sees this sooner or later... lol

I had a blast this year.. I'm happy to be part of the NICO family!! It was great meeting a lot of you guys that I haven't met before, and to those I have, it was great seeing you again!!

Thank you Greg for not letting me see you in a speedo (or a thong for that matter)

Sex, Drift, and Rock & Roll!!!

Awesome event! I had loads of fun. My thanks goes out to the staff for putting this on. I'll be trying to make some more events.

Post by **AZhitman** » Mon May 11, 2009 11:41 am

Roy, thanks a TON for helping out with local logistics - Once again, you're an awesometour giude!

TJ, I was coveting your damn Z32 all weekend long. If that thing ever goes up for sale, I want first shot at it!

Post by **RedEvilRPS13** » Mon May 11, 2009 12:39 pm

I had an absolutely amazing time!!!

Huge thanks to the NiCo staff for making this awesome as all hell, and a huge shoutout to everyone who put up with me lol

Stay Faded Brash!!

The ONLY thing I regret......is not having brought my own car, as I would've loved to have beaten my 240 around that track in AutoX and Drift.

You guys impressed the hell out of me!Had a great time

Post by **DJ Raijin** » Mon May 11, 2009 2:21 pm

I showed up late on sunday but it was still a good turn out. the drift track and autocross was the best. It's my first time actually getting to see some of that up close.

And big thanks for letting me borrow the pass so I could park by the NICO tent! I still have it on the dash of my car

Wow! That's awesome to hear. If I ever decide to get rid of it, I'll be sure to let you know!

we had a great time and will bring our car next year

Post by **mcheddadi** » Mon May 11, 2009 4:01 pm

It was awesome! Glad I could meet everyone for the first time!

I couldnt agree with you more Greg, NICO is beyond a "Car forum" for me... Its a family...

From hooking Eikon up with a deal on a big TV, to the dozen or so local guys I see regularly... NICO is where its at, plain n simple.

Big thanks to Roy (helluvasinger) for tipping me off on the Holiday Inn Mechanicsburg (hands down the best hotel in the area) last year, without that I wouldnt have been able to plug it up and down for this year.

Big thanks to Bubba and the rest of the staff for working the table, tech inspections, sweeping, cones, and everything else.

Big thanks to Steve Stark for the ride along, the best experience in a car I have had in my life (i beat greg in rock/paper/scissors to get the ride lol)

The biggest thanks is to you (average NICO member who came out) without you guys, these things just dont happen!

Also cant forget my fellow Altima Coupers, for having the biggest numbers out there this year!

He had a friend with him ( red integra I think)

Also, This was my first NICO event, and it will not be my last. It was a great time. My only regrets are that I wish that I would have come up the night before for drinks, and stayed for sunday. But im completly satisfied with the day that I had Saturday

Post by **LVM** » Mon May 11, 2009 7:39 pm

Thanks for being cool that was my first event and it was a lot of fun. I will definitely be back next year to try drifting again.

Post by **AZhitman** » Mon May 11, 2009 7:45 pm

Welcome aboard, all!

I think it's pretty clear, we're NOT just for Nissan owners.

We're glad to have you guys - No matter WHAT you drive. Thanks again to all who came out and rocked the Fairgrounds!

Hey just wanted to say thanks for setting up a great event! There was a lot of good driving going on and a lot of great cars! I'll hit the track next time for sure...i wussed out because of the 7 hour drive home.

You know, I thought Greg would be bigger in person

P.S. Some badass person left a sweet little chromed out 350z keychain on my windshield. Thanks! whoever you are

It was awesome meeting you, Anthony... Sorry I didn't get more time to rap with you.

That's the worst part of the meets, is I want to hang out with everyone and spend time with them, and it's just mayhem!

Post by **dangeris** » Tue May 12, 2009 5:01 am

I myself had a great time and meeting a lot of you guys! It was great to meet Greg and his Fiance Becky and Greg's Mom and Dad. I spoke to Greg's Dad for awhile and he told me that he never realized what Greg did and what his club was all about. All he can say was that he was impressed and was glad he came out to see.

I love this club and what it stands for and the members and staff I met this weekend were just incredible. Thanks to all for making this a memorable weekend NicoFest 2010 can't come fast enough now!

Post by **AZhitman** » Tue May 12, 2009 5:04 am

Man, you guys have no idea how damn cool it was that some of you took the time to chat with Bex and my folks...

I got a little choked up watching my Pops sit over there laughing and bulls***ting with my "extended family" - He had a great time, and it just means the world to me.

Words fail me - You guys freakin' ROCK.

I had a great time out there on Saturday! I couldn't make it on Sunday though... I was soooo hungover from Saturday night that I couldn't even wake up until after 3pm! Anything that NICO puts together is guaranteed to be a good time!

HAHAHAA I was trying not to make fun of that guy, just in case his son is a member here.

But I'll say this: He's a toolbag.
