In an effort to help create a stronger car community where one demographic can learn from another Nightshift has invited a core audience of the truck and SUV kind. To help elevate the community experience, every vehicle registered for competition will recieve 1 meal ticket for our grand bbq pits centered in the show floor as a big thank you from HIN events. We're already on top of our game and we want to stay on top so we're inviting all of SoCals hottest trucks and SUV's.
In my experience throughout various car communities I cant help but notice the freedom these truck / suv' guys have to experiment with different paint combos and color schemes. I've never been into the truck world because simply, I dont own one, but I have a feeling these guys will be able to educate me on a few things. I'm pretty sure I can show a trick or two myself.
One of the featured area's at Nightshift Pomona set for August 9th will be the Truck and SUV section. We've up'd the ante where others are decreasing theirs. We're increasing our awards where others have decreased. We want you to enjoy the full experience of Nightshift.... a true dawn of new motorsports, better yet check that, The True Festivals of Motorsports where you'll experience racing motorsports (my own little secret Super Gymkhana special), XDL Championships stunt biking their way to fame, modern musclce face-off, Freestyle Motorcross flying through the air, high hp dyno pulls, you name it' we've got it!
But this article is to inform our fans that Nightshift presents our new truck and suv feature in an attempt to continue to break barriers and mold ourselves into the only place you'll want to be at, Nightshift Pomona on Saturday, August 9th, 2008 at the Pomona Fairplex.

It's trucks and suvs. Not many trucks or suvs show up. It may be different and a bunch of mini trucks show up now. Who knows, anyone want to show? You're welcome to come out with us. :smile:

Sounds like fun. Would be nice to show, but my FX don't compare to yours.

Mini trucks is exactly the picture I get. I've been planning on it since I got the post card. Its on a Saturday night so I can stay up late...I had a lot of fun at HIN's and hope this is just as exciting.
 
I have never been to a HIN because I had plans. Looks like I'm free on that date. Sounds like fun.

It takes a good amount of mods to get into wild, and it's usually just a first glance thing by the judges loading you in.

I think I have like 8 or 9 wild mods depending on how you look at it. Have been thinking about complaining about not being able to compete in the Elite/Extreme class.

There's been a rule in place since last year that no truck/suv can compete in the 2/4 door mild/wild or the manufacturer classes. But it doesn't say elite class. lol
 
Hmmm....weird, all these meets and events this year have been or are on days that I have prior engagements. I guess someone up there is telling me not to go. I will be at Soak City with the family the whole day. Have fun guys and please more pictures for the lounge!:tongue: Gil make sure you take the pictures as I don't want to see any more blurry shots!:wink:
 
I'd say 6pm or 7pm to 11pm or what ever works if others can make it out.

I need as much practice with the camera as i can get Doc, so yea i'll be shooting. :top:
