Photos & Story By: Ryan Belville: Welcome to Toyota Park, this years Hot Import Night: Nightshifts Chicago venue. This stadium usually holds the Chicago Fire soccer team but on August 23rd the parking lot was full of nothing but beautiful cars.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with how Hot Import Nights (HIN) Nightshift events run, they are basically packed with entertainment. Hot Import Nights is more of just a car show but Nightshift has different kinds of entertainment. Some of the highlights from this event were the Miss HIN competition, Colby O’ Donis concert, extreme motocross stunts, amazing cars and of course drifting. The cars were top notch but that’s nothing new to Chicago. People drive all over the Midwest to come to this event. The Tjin edition tour also made the last stop of their tour here. They brought with them two super clean civic hatchbacks as well as their treasured four door r34 skyline. RJ Devera was in attendance hosting the dyno tests. Owners were running on the dyno all day with their high horse power machines. The sound of exhaust and blow off valves filled the whole venue with yells and cheers. Club FR put on a great drift demo for the show but don’t take my word for it check out the gallery.
All in all, the event was another Midwest success. HIN Nightshift will most likely be around Chicago for years to come. Gallery located here…
