 | Battle of the Imports - World Finals Dates: October 18, 2008 - October 19, 2008 Location: California Speedway, Fontana, CA. Article: Clinton Lum Photos: Clinton Lum |  |
The straightaway was clear and the only thing that separated these drivers were sometimes thousandths of a second. These guys needed to have their cars in perfect working condition, but even with that, if your reaction times are even a fraction of a second off, you may have already lost the race before it even started.
It was the usual day at the strip. For some drivers, their reaction times were perfect. For others, there were situations where their cars just died at the starting line or they could not get into gear as their car shuddered past the Christmas tree. I guess it could be worse by having your car die and spilling fluid all over the track.
In between the sound of cars burning out, there was go-go dancing by the models from The Dutchess. And if that wasn't enough, Import Tuner hosted a bikini show to the crowd's delight. The stage cranked out tunes throughout the day and there were tons of freebies being thrown out to the crowds. I guess everyone came out a winner at the show.
