Night-Import: Photography by Nick Schultz

There were several major events going on last week in California. Most of the people attended WEKFEST and those who didn't want to drive up to NorCal went to San Diego for Extreme Autofest/REMIX Edition Car Show.
On the other hand, there were those who wanted to support a local event in SoCal, called Imports @ UC Irvine. This group of automotive enthusiasts in UCI started this event since 2003 and continued on with great turnouts. I've personally heard about this event last year and was planning to go to this event this year, but because of a sudden decision to attend Extreme Autofest/REMIX Edition car show, I left up the coverage to our photographer Nick Schultz. As always, Nick impresses us with great photos, capturing those moments you don't want to miss at events.

Looking at the photos before I started posting this coverage, I was actually really impressed with the turnout. There were two major events happening on this weekend and with a turnout like this, it shows how strong UCI promotes their events and has a positive reputation, which is probably the reason why the staffs of Imports @ UCI are consistently continuing this event for 8 straight years. Props!
