Hot Import Nights Del Mar - Toyo Tires Hot Import Nights
Vision Kicks Off '01 Bigger & Better Than Ever
Vision Entertainment set an all-new standard in import car shows with its one-of-a-kind Hot Import Nights car show series. In 2000, Vision took the party nationwide, packing the house at every venue between both coasts. The Del Mar Fairgrounds in Del Mar, Calif. hosted Vision's kick-off for the real millennium-producing the biggest, after-dark import extravaganza ever. Three huge halls of the fairgrounds were bulging at the seams and wild rides overflowed into the walkways around the grounds. Just when we began to think it couldn't get any bigger or better, Hot Import Nights raised the bar, putting on a gigantic party-like atmosphere, drawing record crowds and the very best the West Coast has to offer from all walks of the import aftermarket lifestyle.
The 2001 Toyo Tires Hot Import Nights series kicked the new season off with a bang, as event promoters and event sponsors introduced many new aspects of the show. APC unveiled its Interactive Zone featuring several of the latest video games from Fox Interactive. The Ichiban booth was crowded during the entire evening as the company held its Ichiban Model Search in style with six contenders in the booth at Del Mar. Elements, presented by Mazda is the latest version of the Hot Import Nights nightclub and was off the hook.
If you've ever thought about fixing up your ride and still haven't made it to one of these wild time gatherings, then you've got problems. Luckily for you sorry few, Vision is taking the party bus across the nation again this year, so whatever it is that's getting in your way-lose it. You don't have to miss out anymore. Enjoy!
