![]() I didn’t even have a VIP build at the time but was friends with Freddie and the gang so they let me park with them. It took over an hour or so before I finally got my gas tank down to the appropriate 1/4 level and parked with my friends from Autofashion USA. trying to burn gas in my Accord that I was showing during that time. I somehow forgot all about the 1/4 tank gas limit that was imposed by the Los Angeles Convention Center and found myself driving all over Downtown L.A. I think back and remember driving up to Los Angeles from San Diego to roll-in for the Hot Import Nights event that Friday evening. ![]() I had never done back to back shows like this so it was pretty interesting. It really stuck out in my mind because this weekend in 2006 was not only the weekend in which Nisei Showoff took place, but Hot Import Nights in Los Angeles also took place the day before. I remember this event like it was yesterday. For me personally, this was one of my favorite events of all-time and one of the best shows that I had ever attended…. Not all of it was used of course and when I got a hold of them, I was overjoyed to see that he had photos from the 2006 Nisei Showoff event. When I got in contact with Gene Tjin about some old photos he had locked away in his vault, not only did he have a collection of photos from old magazine features that he shot, he also had some event coverage that he also did for HCI Magazine. ![]() Today, we’re going to be doing a little something different and looking at some event coverage instead of remastered magazine features from year’s past. Welcome to a very special holiday edition of THE ARCHIVES Series. ![]()
