All Texas import enthusiasts were brought upon with a tough decision, where would they be showing off their cars April 11th, 2009? Two shows fell on the same weekend, in Houston, TX there was the 2nd Import Reactor, in Austin, Texas, the long running Hot Import Nights made its 3rd stop on tour in Austin. Despite the cloudy weather and a little rain, it wasn't enough to stop spectators from forming a line outside the Travis County Expo Center prior to the shows start.
Spectators entering the show grounds were greeted with over 60 of Texas's best show cars from Team Ikon, Team 16Niss, Nextstage, TWC Competition, and Team 210 VQZ. Also, HIN tour models Jenny Chu, Helen Su, and many others were on hand to sign autographs and pose for photos. A motocross exhibition ran throughout the day with riders defying gravity and giving the show goers a great show. DJ Rocky Rock, Cisco Adler, and Schwayze felt right at home on stage thanks to Austin's rich music heritage.
The third stop on the Hot Import Nights tour brought on the first qualifying round of the Formula Drift PRO AM competition which Naughty NOS girl Alicia Whitten played the role of assistant host to!
HIN is always known for giving the fans something unexpected, Austin was no different, with the unlimited class and best of show going to Khamla Seelapasay of Team 16niss and his Nissan Titan, Seelapasay's Titan is the first ever truck to take best of show at a Hot Import Nights event. He will be competing later on this year in Phoenix for the Ultimate Unlimited Title Belt and $15,000 cash. This is sponsored by the National Guard.
