Team LoveHATE x Global Time Attack at Infinion Raceway

Written by Jazel Gonzalez & Photos by Munpreet Randhawa

A week after we arrived back from SEMA we wiped up the cars again and headed out to Sonoma for their Global Time Attack car show at Infinion raceway. When we arrived the weather was cloudy and cold. We were the first cars that arrived. The Infinion staff was a bit unorganized at first and tried to charge us for admission although we registered online. After a bit of waiting we finally got positioned and began our setup. 

Around 10a.m. the skies started to clear and more teams started to roll in. We saw lots of District 10, TNT Autobody, and a few Emperors. They said they had room for 100 cars but it looked pretty full with around sixty. TNT Autobody took home "Best Team".

I enjoyed the variety of cars that appeared. This Datsun with VTEC took home a trophy for "most unique". Sweeet.

As the day went on, we grabbed a bite to eat at their shop and happened to catch the drift demonstration. I wish it would have been longer instead of just a "oh by the way we have drifting..." watching the time attack was cool but from down by the cars you don't see too much.

Team LoveHATE took home "Best Exterior" that day. It's the first time we received a bucket full of cleaning supplies as a trophy. Tons of goodies from Mothers. We're not mad. lol. Well, we want to thank  Fei-Long and Nate for giving us the heads up about the event and the hospitality while we were there. Hope to come back if they do. Overall, it was a great way to spend a day with your family. Here is the link to our Facebook album of the event.

Team LoveHATE and it's American Itasha Debut @ SEMA 2011 Day 1

Written by Jazel Gonzalez Photography by Munpreet Randhawa

Hiya all, I know it's been a minute. We have been super busy so there is so much to blog about. I had to break up our SEMA adventure into several parts. I hope you stick with the blog and read our whole story. As you might know, we headed out to Las Vegas to attend SEMA for the first time. Another first was that we were unveiling the Infiniti G35 Panty & Stocking Itasha to the international community. Scary!!! 

Our trip started at 6am in the morning. Once we taped up the old girl, Money, Randel and I were out of Sacramento... It took us like 10 hours to get there, probably because we took tons of stops. 

Once we arrived in Vegas we checked in, grubbed on a 10 dollar buffet at Border Station, came back to the room, napped, showered and checked out. 

Next, went to Hard Rock Cafe and made friends with the valet guys so we could park up front. 

All of Vegas was packed because Tieso just finished performing. We ajdusted our costumes and proceeded to gamble, drink, and party. We finally left Hard Rock at 3am. We all came up on a few bucks from penny so we were feeling good. Next stop, SEMA roll in.

As soon as we parked we raided the Shell gas station next door.  After a burrito, soup and some juice we fell asleep in the car in the first SEMA staging area. 

We woke up 3 hours later to the sounds of cars revving up and a guy knocking on our window. We then all rolled in the the second staging area. Once we were re-positioned, we received our papers and got the "green light" from the SEMA people that the car was eligible to be shown and even got a FREE Mothers care kit and our staging number. 

As soon as everyone finished  wiping down their rides, and the SEMA staff handed out all the paperwork the first group were finally ushered via LVPD to the THIRD staging area. I was sandwiched between two JDMSport SEMA build vehicles. One of them being Lee Ho and his Genesis, the man who made it possible for us to be here in the first place.

They split us up into two rows and we hung out there for about 45 minutes and then we were sent in twos and threes to our final spots. 

FINALLY!!! 

I spent most of the day detailing the "Purpie" till she was nice and shiny. I finally wrapped up around 3:30pm. Dude, I was so tired. We tried another dinner buffet at South Point then headed back to the hotel and took a short nap.

After we woke up we got ready and met up with the rest of the team that arrived that day to walk the strip and get publicly faded. Only in Vegas right??? 

That was day one.

NorCal Showdown

Written by Jazel Gonzalez / Photography by Munpreet Randhawa

Ok, we are going back a couple months on some old coverage but its coverage none the less. We have been dealing with more and more SoCal stuff as of late but let me go write up a car show we did in October. NorCal Showdown. This was a show we were invited to which was held on Florin Rd in Sacramento. There were plenty of the local rides and lots of the local groups and it was headed by Edmond Fong and Midnight I believe. They had a nice stage and great DJ along with a good variety of vendors. A few of our team members even got piercings. 

We didn’t take anything home(a lot of people said the judging was questionable) but we had a good time and DJ RSkee was able to shoot his video for “Let’s Go.” So all in all it was a good time. Here are some pics of the event but you can find all of them here.
