Sunday May 19th, 2019:

Import Face-Off has been around for a long time. It might actually been around before the Nopi Nationals making it one of the few OG shows to stick around. Epping New Hampshire has been the home of this event for quite sometime. I remember back in the day when IFO was fairly small, starlets and na fb rx7s were huge common cars you would see. I haven’t been back to this show in about two years just because I didn’t have a desire to go unless I was racing. It has now transformed into a much larger event than expected, with more racers in the bracket class than I remember.

Show & Shine:

You would assume that I covered the drag racing portion of the show but ill be honest i put my camera down to enjoy the moment. Its also extremely difficult to capture drag racing without a media pass, all the best photos are all track side. Lucky for you, the team and I were able to cover the show section. This wont be wordy segment this time around as there isn’t much to talk about. The show was kind of a hit or a miss. They had cars for just about anyone but we weren’t able to catch all the cars in time. It was great to shoot with the overcast in the morning before it rained. As the rain settled and the sun started coming out, it became difficult to capture everything. Majority of the photos were overexposed and unusable so we had to trash majority of them.Below are the cars that stood out to us.

On that note, I hope everyone has a great memorial day weekend and I hope you guys enjoy the photos. As mentioned earlier it was difficult to shoot later in the day but did the best we could to filter and salvage the photos the best we can.

Be on the lookout for the new merchandise dropping soon! If you haven’t already follow the social media accounts as all the live merchandise information will be posted there before you see it on the website. Don’t miss the drop as there will be very limited quantities made. Until next time Aloha!
