Welcome to one of the largest photo threads i've ever composed. It will take a while to view all of the images, so get ready.

The meet has grown in size and quality year after year. It's absolutely incredible how big it has become. I've been attending Import Alliance summer meets for a few years and everytime the amount of people that come out increases.

I've also noticed with each progressive year, more and more TLs are showing up...which is a plus because I happen to have a TL fetish lol.

Here is a link to a video I made of the 2009 trip that I made. You might recognize a few of the cars and how they've changed.

Dear Steven Bell. Please put Tyler's photos inside this thread, since this one is titled as the official version. Thank you very much, Sir


Thanks to everyone that came out for this meet. It's always great to meet people with the same passion: CARS.

We look forward to seeing people from even further away make the drive to this great event next year.

On to the photos.



Friday. The day before:

Even though I reside in Charlotte, I chose to stay in a hotel for the full effect. lol There is a hotel village right down the road from the dragway, and i knew it was going to be filled with action. Took a few photos at the adjacent hotel to where we were posted up..



Before I got to the speedway area, I approached the first sighting of an import convoy. It was these guys from Jawjah! Out of excitment, i revved my engine as i passed them on 85 near mallard creek.


Tell your buddy I have a titek wet carbon roof vortex generator if hes looking for another modification on his clean EVO..




My buddy needed to wash his s2000, so we convoyed to the self car wash in Harrisburg. On the way, i snapped a pic of the dragway. You can see the storm we were also evading.






After a car bath and some bojangles for dinner, we returned to the hotel to find moar imports that had arrived..








Smitty's infiniti is beautiful.






















Walked across the street to the Hampton Inn..


My buddy from Florida's Civic. He also has a TL for a daily..














Then we saw a rainbow..


Moar!...(a LOT moar).

Then we stumbled upon this delicious EVO. Pics of cars with rainbows for imminent.










and DENNNN.. there was a double rainbow! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?!


And right about that time, two colors of the rainbow rolled into the hotel parking lot from Jawjah...










Mother Nature was still trying to be sexy so another rainbow shot happened..




These dudes were cool. KJ and Zane. We helped them pull their blue tape off.




Went to walmart and got some supplies and came back. Everyone was outside looking at cars and drinking and probably some other activities too haha.








I was one of the last ones to go inside. It was around 4am. Our plan was to wake up at 6am. 6am came around and i easily dismissed the alarm on my phone. Slept til almost 7. Took a photo of the traffic outlook..


Somehow we managed to get in the special entry lane even though i hadn't purchased any online tickets hehe..


Here we met up with Tamer and my brother and Shef..


I effin love the rake on Shef's SC..

After sweating all day, we ate at Hooters for lunch and then jumped in the pool at the hotel. That bitch didn't bring me my fries so i took my beer mug home lol. Took a 2 hour nap, and woke up to head downtown for dinner at my buddies restaraunt. We planned to take some pics with the city in the background.



Robbie.


Jason.


Kyle.


Some dude.




The security guard had told us to go away but then come back after his bossman went home. When we returned we found another group of guys that had returned as well after being told the same thing lol..














Jason and Kyle are pro fotogz. They were shooting the IS-F for something with Kyles equipment. I was bouncing around with my camera just bullshittin around.


Even my LEGO models got some fotog action.








We cruised through uptown and then headed back to the hotel village and went to COOKOUT for some milkshakes. A wdp TL with aqua P45s rolled through the drive through and i was mad i didnt have my camera with me.

My shawty showed up sunday and after she saw all the cars that were there, she made a comment and said we can start with a front lip on the lexus. I was like THERE YOU GO! LOOK WHAT THIS MEET DID. IT INSPIRED YOU TOO!








Maybe a red and purple one will show up. Dave could have lodged his blue one in there if there was more room.

Quality pics right there. Some of my favs are your buddy's white s2k and that yellow ITR with the JDM front. Miss my R...

I want to see a link to the video from the GoPro mounted on that RC car!

CLassy02

Great pics Eric. Idk how that guy with the blue S2K from MO gets away with no front plate. He must never drive it. I got pulled over twice in one week for it when my car was bone stock.

Thanks man. That yellow ITR was the cleanest car there. No grime or anything. Everything was shiny and immaculate.

I think he said their videos will be on vimeo.. ayodebo or something like that is what he said their username is.

Thanks man. I will ask him on s2ki and see what he says. We are fortunate for only having to run one plate over here.

Thanks man. Sounds good. Its well worth the trip.

Yeah, AND you can run limo tint and use radar detectors in NC. Basically the opposite of VA on all counts haha. Shit, that reminds me that I have to pay the ticket for getting busted running my V1 in Virginia last month...UGH.

ACCURATEin

i left my V1 connected while driving to the east coast honda meet about a month ago...disconnecting it when i approached squad cars. How did they know you had a V1?

VA just fucking sucks.

Some troopers have the Spectre, it can sniff out detectors.
