Until anyone gets it through their heads that alot of what happend is out of our control the complaints will keep rolling through. We did our best to handle that amount with what we had and my crew did an awesome job. Lakeland was not ready for an event of this size..Nobody was ready for an event this size. We appreciate the comments and we do listen to what people are saying, Thank you. But plan on us doing something different at each event and moving around this region. Orlando needs to get ready for us to come that way in May..see you guys soon
Well that was kind of a shity way to say not going back to bradenton, i respect what yall do cause all your shows are fun and always have a great turn out. People just like bradenton because they know what they are doing and they keep lines moving. All we suggest is a sit down or somethin to explain to lakeland "Hey we got alot of people coming out to run their cars, yes they might not be the fastest thing in the world but they did pay just as much as your regulars to go down the track, and if you guys need more help keeping staging rolling we have people that can help out". But lookin forward to the next one.

It's not about how they handle the actual show/event when it's there, its about how they handle the business aspect of it behind the scenes. There, now if people read that and understand, they'll stop complaining about where it's held. Shows are held at venues where said venue will work with you and the people putting on the event, and not screw you over in the end with the dollar side of things.

you guys have to keep in mind, JDM ups is a buisness.. events like this cost alot of money, and they help everyone, they get the owners excited about car shows, get people coming out, keep everyone hypied up about the scene which supports us, the local shops, by keeping you guys buying parts and labor.

if jdm up isnt getting there expences covered, with a reasonable profit, they cant keep doing these great shows. just keep in mind theres A LOT behind the scenes of any car shows.


all in all great event
