I haven't heard anything back on my registration yet. Untill I hear otherwise I'm going to assume I'm in it. Also hoping I'm not the only one of us

i got turned down 2yrs in a row ,so i dont think ill be trying this yr for this event :(

I can understand that.

With that said if anyone else wants to participate I'd like to know so I may be able to get people etc to assist them in setup and such. This is still a team effort even though only a few will be participating.

ill still help out if you need me 2 .just let me know

if ppl are in im more then willing to come help set up and get the rides detailed , i dont think ill be in this year

Ill be there for sure. Love looking at the hotrods that are usually there. Will for sure support TTS at the show but the car wont be there.

Well at this point I'm in so let's get a list started and see who's down

MEGA SPEED

Derty Sanchez
Nightwing??
Brianv ??

I know Brian has registered and mine won't be in it this year. Unless I can get a tow. NO insurance etc during the winter months.

But I still want to know if others are looking at entering.

^Same deal, not driving the car in the winter :|

u guys r such girls :p it hasnt even snowed here yet! lmao

o JP.....apparently u can get insurance from your company for a day if u need to move it or w/e.... i dont know how much that could be tho

Yeah good point I can do just that. Again would need a flat bed etc. i had one arranged etc last year but didn't plan on it this year so much else going on.

Id be down to help out. Wont enter the show though. Just gotta make sre im around toronto that weekend

has anyone registered/been accepted for this show?

if any members are going , i think we should try to get a crew together ( those that can make it ) to help those in the show set up and detail their rides , make sure they lookin pretty

The only thing I've gotten from them so far was this email:

"Thank you for your registration to Toronto's newest show! Megaspeed Custom Car and Truck Show! Please keep this email for your records. See you at the show!"

on Dec 8.

I've not recieved a final confirmation either way yet.

Thats pretty much what you get for now.

I have to email them about something I will ask them about when they will make the final cuts etc.

If it's anything like Performance World was like last year, you'll get an update like a week or two in advance with what time you can set up ... or ~1wk if you're not accepted ... and ~1-2 days if you're declined and then accepted due to accepted people dropping out ...
