[COVERAGE] ImportExpo – Car Music Fest NJ

June 24th, 2022 by Elusive Media

ImportExpo returns to Island Dragway! And with this show being local to me, it was a must to attend. Weather was also perfect, sunny and 70F. As i was approaching the drag strip, no lie, a least a 1/2 mile away i could hear the music rumbling throughout the Great Meadows Valley. Once in side, you were pretty much blown away by some of these music setups and you could see why it be be heard from so far away. Everyone playing their music, getting their grill out, and cars lined up in circles, my ears and eyes just taking it all in. It was nothing that I’ve experience before. After trying to get my hearing back, I ventured into the car show. A wide verity of cars and ones I’ve never seen at other shows in the past. Always great to see new builds. After talking with the locals PD and staff, this show was larger than was expecting. And with it being Fathers Day, it sure did bring out the fans and participants. Enjoy the photos!

Carlisle Important & Performance Nationals is back! This year officially reached 1,802 cars that were on the showfield; which makes it the 3rd largest show to date!

For example, the new 2023 Nissan Z was on display, one of the first outside of the auto shows. The Citroën 2CV is on a LA to Rome Roadtrip, 6,000+ miles, made a stop at the show. Another was the 1964 SER IIA 109 Dormobile Land Rrover, has travel the world. What great group to chat with! Be sure to take a look at the photos in the gallery!

May 7th, 2022 by Elusive Media

Tuner Evolution return back where it all started, a long 15 years ago! While the first one was held at a baseball stadium in York, this one takes place at the York Expo Center. With over 1000 space for indoor and out door space, this show would of had a huge turn out. Weather sadly wasn’t playing to kindly to the first event of the year for me. A 2.5 hr drive there, was none stop rain and it continued to rain that whole day in York. All VIPs for outdoors were able to squeeze into the indoor location at least! While it was limited to only in doors, there was plenty of new cars to check from the winter break. It also good to see friends and catch up. The one thing that Tuner Evolution always brings is the best cars in the area, so be sure to check out over 10 of their events this year throughout the US.
