Anyone one have any thoughts on this location? Drifting was cool, i thought. Feel Free add your 2 cents!!

 

small, crowded, ugly models, crappy drifting, horrible organization, and some people got stiffed of parking spots

a couple years ago they held it in pleasanton but it was more spread out and bigger, plus they had the signal drift team demo which was 100X better than the dunlop drift cars there....

Most of the cars there were sexy as hell, High-end & TWC holdin it down as always...and seen some cars in person were crazy like the ARC evo and the NOS Lexus SC Drifting was pretty nutty. i thought the freestyle motorcross was pretty good and the concert wasnt that bad.

overall worst HIN ive been to

 

before i say that i'm glade i didn't go...what are other people thoughts about it?

 

ehhhhh i think the highlight of the night was seeing the GTR in the parking lot when i was leaving

 

i went around.. hung out with friends...

it was okay... saw some friends i haven't seen in forever and then some other people.

location? small.
people/crowd? okay.
music? loud as usual.. just ignored whatever i could
(concert? what concert? i remember someone saying something about Pitbull? *shrugs*)
models? few of the usual ones you typically see (i saw misa campo in person for the first time... so i was kinda happy. saw jenny chu again, kt so, christine mendoza, melyssa grace, and then talked to and met few others that were awesome and nice as well)
motocross? cool..
friends? that's about my highlight of the night.

 

yeah...this HIN was definitely small compared to the one in San Mateo, but it didn't seem as crowded as San Mateo...go figure...

Highlight for me was the Pitbull concert!!! I guess not everyone knows who he is...

 

Well i'm deffinently happy that I didn't go but for not going to Pleasenton, the judges are making do the last 3 shows of the month of October which is HIN nightshift in vegas, HIN Arizona, and SEMA for the scion challenge as torture

 

What car do yo u have? I was at Plesanton and yeah it was a small venue. Crowd was ok!
Didnt see the concert. Also the awards were early like 930PM i missed my name called. But it was ok.

Deciding if i want to go to Vegas. Hows the Scion Crowd there?

 

congrats chris, which trophy did u win?

 

BEST MILD SCION

 

who won wild scion?

 

Jay Jay From LA with the wide body TC.

Dont worry Viet you are safely still in second for NCCA. Are you going up to Montreal for the 4x show. Cynce will be hard to catch.

 

Very small venue, but the cars weren't too bad. What did you guys think of Team Hybrid's cars?

 

I have some pix posted HERE.

Only watched one session of drifting and thought it was okay. Would have been better if there was actually a track or even some cones to follow. Must admit one thing was better than San Mateo... the line getting in took less than 2 minutes. Also having the models in a tent worked out better for photography since we could bounce the flash off the tent (no I don't have a fancy flash deflector).

Daytime....


Bounce flash at night...

 

^^ Yay for Melyssa She was featured in the same Super Street issue as me.

Wish I could have made it down this weekend - really not up for a 10+ hours drive, though.

Congrats on taking home Best Mild Scion, Chris I know you were amped to get that after HIN Seattle. :D

 

You have no idea! Thanks Cynce. I stayed up all night Thursday night into Friday morning to get it done. I stepped it up big from Seattle. Now its SEMA time!

 

Nice! The second picture is nicely exposed. Just off topic... What and How you bounce flash, involves using a reflector or something?

 

congrats on the win chris for best mild scion and jay jay for winning best wild scion
