Battle in Seattle - July 8th, 2006
THE BATTLE OF THE IMPORTS SPONSORED BY INTEC RACING RETURNS TO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND HEADS FOR PACIFIC RACEWAYS LOCATED IN KENT, WA
BOTI HEADS BACK TO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
On Saturday evening, July 8th, the Battle of the Imports sponsored by Intec Racing returns to Pacific Raceways (Kent, WA) for the third consecutive year and fourth stop on it's 2006 nationwide tour. Pro and Street class racers from all over the Pacific Northwest will have the opportunity to compete for cash, contingency and trophies at one of the quickest track on the Westcoast. In addition to the drag racing action, the Password:JDM carshow will have just as much competition with car crews from all over fighting for a chance at national exposure. Also on the card is the 2X points USACi car audio competition where audio competitors can choose to compete in either SPL or SQ, The Finestmodels.com swimsuit competition and the interactive vendors midway anchors the evenings event.
"The event has grown tremendously in just two years and since Pacific Raceways has implemented an import and sport compact program for the local racers, we are expecting a record number of competitors at this event," commented Frank Choi, Battle of the Imports. "We are always excited about coming up to this area. The sea level track plus the cool night time weather affords racers the chance to break old records and set new ones."
Located approximately 30-minutes south of Seattle, Pacific Raceways is an NHRA sanctioned track and is home to the annual Schucks Auto Supply NHRA Nationals. A record number of racers including bikes, car clubs, sound competitors and fans are expected to attend the Battle of the Imports sponsored by Intec Racing.
HEADS-UP PRO & STREET, DIAL-IN & FUN-RUN DRAG RACING FOR CARS AND BIKES
The BOTI offers 6 heads up classes, a dial-in Sportsman E.T. class and the popular fun-run class where racers who choose not to compete and run for time only. Racers have a chance to compete for cash, contingency and trophies. The competition will be extremely close in the Street-Comp and Street-Performance class. "Judging by the number of competitors last year, the Street-Comp and Street-Performance will offer the fans some exciting side by side racing," commented Frank Choi. "So far, the response has been great and the anticipation grows as each day passes."
PASSWORD:JDM CARSHOW OFFERS OVER 100 AVAILABLE CARSHOW AWARDS FOR IMPORTS, DOMESTIC SPORT COMPACTS, TRUCKS, SUV's and LATE MODEL DOMESTICS
The Password:JDM car show has quickly made a name for itself nationally as one of the most competitive shows series on tour.

"Especially the amount of JDM enthusiasts, which will be treated to Password:JDM and their Honda Civic Type-R. We are also pleased with the expansion of show classes for imports, sport compacts and late model domestics."

Fans can check out and purchase the latest and greatest wares for their whips in the Vendors Village but that's not all!

HONDA FACTORY PERFORMANCES POSTS BIG DOLLARS
In 2002, American Honda launched its Honda Factory Performance (HFP) accessory program announcing kits for the Civic EX Coupe and the Acura RSX Type-S. This year, Acura announced it has re-launched its performance accessory program as Acura A-SPEC, a term signifying "the highest level of engineering quality", to brand Acura's program and differentiate it from its Honda counterpart, Honda Factory Performance (HFP).
Racers at the Battle of the Imports that win while driving either a Honda or Acura brand vehicle stand to win up to an extra $750.00 in cash. Racers must register at tech inspection and display the HFP decal. Makes other than Honda or Acura are not eligible for the contingency.

I'll go! (sorry guys down in PDX because I'll have to skip the Krispy Kreme event but I guess that would be bad for my diet anyway)
I just ordered my new 18" chrome wheels and they'll be here next Monday. I can't wait to throw them on. I still need to get some nice Z rated tires. Also...if anyone here knows a great place to get custom coloring on chrome, let me know! I want to add a couple of accents.

I'm heading up too.... (You should have guessed if Nick said he was going).
I'm sure we'll bring the tent, some chairs and maybe a table or something... All us Scion wierdos can have a out of the sun meeting/hangout place....
We should co-ordinate who brings what... need like a whole "survive the car show day" setup!
