Simply put, import shows are rising in popularity. It seems, the more and more shows I attend, that the fan base has not only risen but has become more diverse. Its cool seeing grandpa checking out the new cars of the times knowing at one time he may have been rolling around in a GTO "The Judge" or a 64 chop top Impala. Or even the kid that you knew in high school that never seemed to be interested in cars checking out the rides flaunting there sick paint jobs, and oversized rims with undersized tires. But back to reality, what's more important is to see that not only is the scene becoming bigger and more widespread, but its catching and more and more shows are coming about. Seeing this brings a lot of hope to the customizing trends staying around for years to come. Which is what brings us to the Import Survival Series show. Since early 99' Englishtown has been providing the always so perfect asphalt parking lot for some of the sickest rides to roll down Texas rd and into the lanes of the pay booths at the racetrack to show what there made of. From the normal groupie rimmers, to the drag cars, and on to the true customizers the show never seems to fall short with show quality rides. With rides so lavishly adorned with graphics from the famous Richard Markham (www.richardmarkham.com) who actually paints his show car while you watch, to the always available aftermarket parts booths as Modified Motorsports, Exotic Customs, and Nitto Racing Englishtown shows never fall short in entertainment. And who could forget the always-plentiful models, and bikini contests put on by the staff at Englishtown. I guess the point I'm trying to get across is, the more we support these Import Survival Series shows, Hot Import Nights events, and what not the more that will come about and the more shows we will be able to attend with our rides. Check out www.racewaypark.com for the next show coming up. Until then be safe and drag carefully.Doug Large
