ALL CAR SHOW REGISTRATION IS THE DAY OF THE SHOW AT THE FRONT GATE.

IFO CAR SHOW ETIQUETTE AND ROLL IN INFO


IFO is the only nationally touring Import series that can successfully register, park, judge, and award 150 to 350 show car entries within one day.  This quick, easy process is one reason IFO has grown to be the largest touring Import series in the nation.  After purchasing your score card at the front gate, park exactly where and how the judges tell you (inside the yellow tape).  

Contestants are welcome to bring pop up tents, grills, and chairs, just be sure to tell judges before parking that you will need an open spot next to your car.  The judges will not give you space after another car has already been parked next to you.  If you are wanting to park with your car club, make sure the entire team arrives at the same time.  If you come inside together, you will be parked together.  

During judging, do not talk to the judges.  IFO is a one day event, so judges do not have time to listen to contestants give details on all their modifications.  If the judges have a question about your car, they will ask you.  

Another reason IFO has grown to be the largest Import series is because of it's fair judging.  However, realize that all car show judging and some classing is based on opinion. Judging is a qualitative, not quantitative process. Another words, having the most modifications does not guarantee a win.  If you lose, bow out gracefully and do not complain.  IFO will not listen to illegitimate complaints on judging (example, “my car should have won because it's a prettier red!”).  However, if there is an obvious mistake and you have a legitimate complaint, feel free to ask the judges immediately after the awards ceremony (example, “why did a Honda Civic win the Best Nissan class?”).

I may show.  How much does it cost?

I may show too, is that Labor Day Weekend?

Kevin I think you are thinking of Memorial day which is the 31st. Labor day is Sept. 6th.

I'm probably going to roll out to this. It is only like 25 minutes from my house.

Maybe make this our first NECM meet of the season?

here some more info:

Hmmm.  Do I want to show, race, or sound off?

^go for the tri-fecta tim.  i say we should absolutely roll deep to this show.  100% in.

can't he can only register for show or race not both. I say test the Turbo and have all the 7th Gen member wave :clap:

Not turbo. It's supercharged.

I'm down for the drive. Definitely just spectating though. Tim, I'd love to see your car face!

I'm down for rolling deep.  We'll see whether I hit the track or sound off.  I'm not really into showing that much.  My car isn't exactly a "show" car.


I don't even know what that means.

car face = car race. woooops.

...damn I wanna go, we will see!

as I said in an earlier post, my place is like 25 minutes away.

If we want to make this a MASSIVE gathering with people from all over the NE I have some floor space that people can crash on if they want. Also there is a hotel down the road that is never full.

+1

Billy, you gotta come.  Fuck it.  This should be the meet to be at this summer for the north east guys.

Sounds good! Will discuss with wifey maybe we will stay the night, well come up the night before!


I will try... it would be nice to come up.

FWIW, I can get hotel rooms near me at a discount through my job.  Anyone that wants to come up the day before, maybe we could even have a pre-meet.  I've been wanting to do a dyno day also.

This event has been added to my team's website as well... the more the better!

good show..i allways go to the ones they have in Fl..

Glad to see we are making progressive for a massive meet :thumbup:

I say there should be a Saturday pre-meet too!

sounds good to me! Maybe a detail day/meet since there will be some people traveling from afar to get here?

Fuck that.  I was thinking of having a dyno day!

hahaha orrr that

I was originally not going to make it. But that's when, for some reason, I thought this show was on the Feb. 23rd. But thanks to Billy's clarification, I now know this is on the 23rd of May. I should be down for this and GREAT idea Tim. Turn this into a weekend thing.

Meet up on Saturday, show on sunday and head back home on monday.

Do I show or do I race?  Got like 3 months to figure it out...

decisions, decisions.

sounds like an awesome weekend to me...

If there's a way that we can pair up on the track, I saw we race.

i concur, if not I'll just end up showing

Sounds good.  I probably won't show, but I'll show up.

I'll keep this meet in mind for now.

bump for 2 weeks away

Ohh yeah.  I forgot about this one.  I'm not sure what's up, but I may show up for this.  My life recently got very busy.

yea ive had this meet in the back of my mind since it was brought up a few months ago.  unfortunately it doesnt look like i can make it cuz my sister is graduating from Fordham that saturday (the nerve) so ill be in the Bronx until Sunday.

damn I forgot about this...

I dont know if i will be able to make it to this or not, I am out of town this weekend and once I get back I have to pack up my appt as im moving again the end of may lol If I can get a lot done during the week I will do my best to roll out to this.

I also have a graduation to go to on the 23rd, so I can't make it.

I just realized that I'm already going to another meet that day.  I'd rather go to a meet instead of a car show.  Car shows just don't seem to be my cup of tea.

is anyone going to be going to this? I was thinking about heading up there for a little bit to check this out this weekend, let me know if anyone wants to join...

I'm actually going to be at an AcuraZine meet in Framingham instead this Sunday.

we are either going to have a large meet at South Shore Plaza in Braintree or South Bay in Dorchester and caravan up to Epping, will keep you guys posted

what time are you guys planning on meeting to caravan? I am still on the fence about this but if i do end up going I will try to meet up with you on the highway and caravan on up with you.

i'm waiting to hear back from the other car clubs on time, probably like 9am so we can have 50 cars flying up I-93

okay so it's official, meet time at 9am at South Bay next to Target. Leave at 10am to Import Faceoff in Epping NH

lol I will prob just see you up there then. Im having some buddies over the night before and do not think I will be anywhere near functioning at 9am in the morning

i'll be heading up there soon, hope to see some of you there...if not for the car show then for the races

Have fun.

this show, Wack... should have never wasted my time, Something about the Dragway it can never really live up to the Hype

That sucks! How was the A zine meet Tim.

I had a feeling it was going to suck.  I've lost interest in car "shows" because they don't usually have good cars there.  The AcuraZine meet was cool.  It was a lot of the same guys I've met up with.  They're all pretty good people.

bummer - sucks to hear it was a shotty show.  how many people showed?

Damn that sucks, glad me and the team didn't come up to this I would have been pissed! On to the next...
