In the five years I’ve lived in Southern California, I have always missed out on the very famous Hot Import Nights due to different reason and I have always regretted it for missing it but last Saturday was my time for redemption and finally made it for my Hot Import Nights. Despite the fact that the original venue was suppose to be at Irwindale Speedway along with Xtreme Drift Circuit but due to the complications going on at Irwindale Speedway; the HIN staff was quickly able to relocate their venue at Pomona Fairplex, CA while XDC round 1 was moved to Arizona. For a last minute relocation, the staff were able to pull it off at Pomona Fairplex quite nicely.

For a “night” show, I was already there during roll-in time which was around 10am alongside with Team ar-kan, Mikey (PVR), Peter (PVR) and Jae (Dayuum).

after everybody was all set outside, I decided to go in and take a couple of photos while the light was on

I was greeted with this famous corolla with an f20c engine.. yes, a Honda S2000 engine on an 86.. crazy huh?

This e46 really caught my attention and IDK why but I simply like it.

If ever I was one of the judges, this porsche would be my most favorable car

I believe this GT-R won the Hottest Nissan Award

Armand made a presence at HIN with his fitted devil horned mr2

This GS has an insane amount of camber going on

I thought the entrance booth was a very catchy setup and the nest thing I know when the door were opened, they were having a beer pong contest.

Moments later, they had to dim the lights and my nightmare started. It was difficult for me to shoot on low light and I had to use my flash in which I am a very noob about.

The Rotiform Movement

I was able to spot Michelangelo driving his brothers around with the TMNT van.

BP vip wasnt able to roll deep at this event but they were definitely able to make their presence known.

Peter brought one of PVR’s evo and rep the probational Team ar-kan decal. . .

This was the first time I was able to see a cr-z this low, static or bagged. My jaw literally dropped when I glanced at this car.

There were definetely a good amount of infinitis and g35 in the show.

I ran into Ged, our Public Rep/Promoter, and clearly he was working his other job at Hollux.

I was never a big fan of VWs certainly turned my thoughts upside down

The quality of this old Volkswagen was seamless and the owner made it look like it just came out of the dealer’s warehouse.

Bernie’s volkswagen gold TDI was such a head turner for everyone along with his new wheels,a set of HRE’s vintage series, the 454s.

The DJ from yo gabba gabba was present during the show.

He was a crowd favorite.

Congratulations to Team Arkan’s Jovi for winning best mild 4 door.
