Hawaii Streetcar Showoff - HSS
Welcome To Paradise
Photography by Gary Castillo, Jason Mulroney
In the beginning, the staff at 2NR had a strong vision that someday the entire United States would be bitten by the import show scene. Well, the day has come; import shows are popping up everywhere. Cities we have never heard of have been calling, e-mailing and faxing 2NR headquarters about show events that are in line to become the next big thing. As of now, 2NR does not have enough man power to cater to all the entrepreneurs out there; however, we do have the utmost ability to show everyone how it's done.
This is where Mainstream Productions comes in. Mainstream has been flying high since day one in the import scene; the Showoff series has become the leader in its field, setting standards for other shows to follow. It's lived up to its motto-all rights reserved and all biters served. With this in mind, Showoff has decided to take its extensive knowledge gained through years of hands-on experience and spread the love to the place that everyone has fantasized about-Hawaii.
During the weekend of August 25-27, Mainstream brought its infamous Showoff series to the Aloha State. The second annual Streetcar Showoff was held at the Neil Blaisdell exhibition hall in Honolulu. As usual, the series included a car show, turntable battle, vendor row and of course, a crowd-pleasing bikini contest. Rather than tell you about what we encountered, we have gathered these images and created a pictorial for you. Enjoy. We did.
