Exclamation Car show @ SF JapanTown Parking lot, June 1st

Kevin at AutoHQ asked me to post about an upcoming car show in JapanTown. I'm not sure of all the details, but I've heard that one of the featured cars will be the Zerosports time attack car. When I get more details I'll post more. I'll also try to post some teaser pics of the Zerosports car at his shop.

Ahhh cool. My buddy with his black 07 Lexus IS350 has been modifying his car a bit to go to this, and is really into the VIP thing. I might have to drive down for this, he told me there are some serious VIP cars at the Jtown garage car show.

I was about to post this, but I was waiting for Kevin to send me the flyer. Still no flyer yet.

Anyways, here are the details. You may want to edit your original post for the extra info.

It will be at the Japantown parking garage on Sunday, June 1st at 12pm. If anyone's been to the jdm theory meet, it's similar to that, but on a much smaller scale, and is focused more on Subaru's, but everybody is welcomed to go, no matter what car they drive. Parking is limited to 80 spaces and will be on the top floor of the parking garage. The only fee is $15 which will pay for all day parking inside the garage in order to help recoup some of the money that was paid to reserve those 80 parking spots. Food will be provided.

The things I'm not 100% sure on is that the $15 entrance fee will include the participant (which means you if you paid) in a raffle for some prizes and includes your car in "Best of Show", which a trophy and possibly a prize is awarded to whoever gets best looking, best show car voted by u guys.

The main highlights is that lead ECUTek tuner/director of Japan Aya Shigenori (not sure if it's spelled right) will be there. Would be a great time to ask him questions and whatnot. Kevin's Rear Wheel Drive STi will be there, along with a few other project cars. I am only 50% sure that the time attack Zerosports car will be there, I don't remember what Kevin said. But most likely it will be there.
There will also be a bunch of nice jdm goodies to look at

I forgot to add, anybody that's interested, send an email to Kevin so that he knows approximately how many cars are going to show up and how much food to order. His email is autohq@gmail.com

Also if u could post in this thread if you are going to go that would help out as well. I'll give him a headcount from this thread when I go back for some tuning from Shigenori when he gets here

comon dood, you've been there before, trust me. Or at the very least, you've seen Kevin before. Vic told me so

http://www.autoheadquarter.com/index.html

It's in Redwood City. Kevin used to work at Carlsen Subaru as a master technician and left to start his own shop.
