1st Annual Filipino Fiesta Charity Car Show

Written by Jazel Gonzalez Photography by Munpreet Randhawa and Matthew Hatfield
Hey everyone. It's been crazy these past couple of months and I HAD to get back and bring this site back up to speed.

If you didn't make it, just to let yo know the FFSCARSHOW was a great success. Over a hundred cars came and thousands attended. With hiccups early on, the ball continued to roll into what was a amazing first year event. First off, I want to thank the Filipino Counsel for making this possible and allowing us to help bring the community together.

Thank you Jeri Lee, Big Abe, and Genevieve Chanelle for coming out for the community. Thank you all of our sponsors for helping and for some of you for making the trip up here to display your socal flavor!!!

Without you all we seriously couldn't have done this.

We did get tho okay to do it again next year so keep and eye out for more info come January!!!

Here's the link to the albums to the event.

3AM: We rolled out of Sacramento and headed to our destination. Hot Import Nights Pomona Fairplex. We were very excited to be displaying where it all began.

7AM: We hit the Grapevine in four hours and another two till we arrived at our hotel in West Covina and dropped off our stuff.

10AM: We left from there we hopped back on the10 E San Bernardino drove a couple exits away and rolled in to get staged and check out all the SoCal whips.

I love that year... and below, Lee Ho's banger!!!

12PM: Once we passed the inspection we were given our passes and our cars were separated as we rolled into the venue. The G was with the Al and Ed's booth and the Mustang was by Donlyson Auto Concepts. I just want to say we are proud to represent all of our sponsors. A big shout out to JDM Sport, Al and Ed's AutoSound E. Pasadena, NRG, Donlyson, and a couple of new sponsors Cars4Cancer and Top Speed Racing / SRS Tuning.

11pm: Jazel, Steve and Art holding the trophy we took home for Hottest Vinyl Graphic. You Mad Bro?

 I'd say "Tata" to HIN and SoCal but this pic seems to be a buttshot. 

12am: Roll out from the event was quick and smooth. 

1am: We hit up In and Out and then went back to our rooms to crash out for the night. Well, that was a day for TLH. Hope you liked it.

We want to thank again everybody who made it possible to get us down there and help us represent Northern California tuner scene and all those that embrace the Western Itasha Movement. That means you Lee Ho, Jay, and Project Ride Northern California. That sums it up for HIN. Until the next event.

 See you soon!    Here's a LINK for the full album on Facebook!!!

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.
