As promised we visited GReddy Fest 2 over the labor day weekend and the joint was crackin’! There was fleet after fleet of dope rides with GReddy gear not to mention a few pretty fresh rides from GReddy themselves on display. One big surprise for me was the revelation that GReddy is getting into the fixed gear bike business as they had a whole display case full of billet machine cut fixed gear parts straight from Japan on display. Besides the eye candy there was a huge mega sale on GReddy goodies as they cleaned out their garage to make room for new 2011 inventory. This was a great event and beyond what I think most were expecting. If you didn’t make it out this year you need to promise yourself that you’ll be there in 2011!

Recently, the Targa Trophy had their second round of their triple crown series in the bay area with the help of NOS Energy Drink. There were over 40 high-dollar performance and exotic cars on the run including Import Tuner’s Lexus IS-F. However in the end it was Alex Andonian with his BMW 335i that came out on top with some help from his navigator. To celebrate, all the participants partied it up at the luxurious San Francisco W Hotel. Check out some pics below.
The other night I went to Irwindale to check out their “drift night” presented by NOS Energy Drink. It was a pretty dope situation. They sectioned off one area of the parking lot and changed it into a playground for amature drifters as well as a few pros. I saw 2009 Formula Drift champion Chris Forsberg joining in on the fun in his “missile car” AKA beater car with bare minimum required for drifting and nothing else! The 3 inch exhaust pipe jutting out of the hood is what won me over. Check it out below!
Starting at 4pm pacific time you can watch a live feed of Formula Drift Round 5 Las Vegas right here! Just scroll down below and hit play in the video box!
Saturday was the 10th annual Nisei Week Import Showoff in Little Tokyo located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. As usual the vibe was cool, the cars were fresh, and the temperature was ridiculous! I’m surprised no one passed out from heat exhaustion or was blinded by direct sunlight reflected into their eyes from the chrome lip of someone’s wheels.
Seriously though, the show was dope and there was a lot of quality builds on hand. I just hope next year they can get a bigger space so even more fresh rides could be on display. I really hope someday Import Showoff comes back full force. The industry needs it! Check out a few snaps below and the rest in our gallery.

Over the weekend MotorworldHype lost its car show booth virginity at RPM Event Seriesin Irvine, CA. You may have noticed the banner on our site for a while now as we were one of the official media partners. The event was held at Hidden Valley Park right next to Wild Rivers. The venue was a sprawling grass area with carnival rides, a mini stadium for performances, go kart track, even a mini lake with canoe rentals! There was a ton of vendors and plenty of entertainment. My favorite was the street bike stunt show right in the middle of the park. We had a good time and the Wraptivo Porsche Cayman got a lot of looks and questions which was cool and we handed out a bunch of “Super Hype Me!” stickers. We want to thank the entire RPM Event Series team for letting us hang out with them and giving us a spot! If you didn’t get a chance to make it out to RPM then make sure to look for us at the Nisei Week Import Showoff this Saturday. In the meantime check out some of the pics from RPM below and in our gallery.
Tomorrow, RPM Event Series will be making their So Cal stop in Irvine, CA at Hidden Valley Event Park. We’ll be there with the Wraptivo Techart Porsche Cayman as well as limited edition MotorworldHype.com stickers and shirts! Check out RPMEventSeries.com for all the info.
