Exclamation Hin @ A.c. 5/20/06

Anyone going to Hot Import Nights in Atlantic City this year?

Went last year, it was ok, had some lighting problems, and only like 2 8's (there were better cars in the parking lot than inside)

I agree with your parking lot comment.

Is this the only time it will be in AC this year?

I was there this past fall. It wasnt too bad. Seeing the skylines made my day. I do admit the lack of 8's was a little dissapointing but what can you do? Wish I could go to this one but Im graduating from college the week before and cant get off from work two weekends in a row. Whoever goes, please take pics though and post them. Have fun as well.

Cool, I'll be looking for you, the more 8's the better.

I plan on taking pics, so no problems there.

Some other people are trying to get a little rally/get together going just before.

He said he has a decent turn out starting, would like some other 8's to be there.

Eh..Fizz had a Black Turbo rx8, there was another TG Rx8 there with rims, tires, intake, and some sort of kit. The stock exhaust looked really out of place with the new body kit combo...the tips just seemed too small.

There were tons of EVOs from TriStateEvo there, my friend has an EVO IX and he was estatic..while it was cool to see a lot of EVOs in one place but I was dissapointed in the poor showing of rx8's.

Maybe tri-state rx8 can show up there next year so we can see more rotary's there.
