Event Coverage | Dubfest Car Show 2011

Night-Import: Photography and Words by William Lee

Dubfest-148
I was pretty excited to attend Dubfest because it was going to be my first ever strictly Euro car based event. I'm not talking about only one specific brand but opened to every Euro make and model. Starting since 1999, Dubfest was and still is one of the events many Euro car owners mark as a priority to attend because of its event location and side activities that go along with the car show, such as Drag racing. There were tons of Euros and sponsors/vendors that made this event enjoyable to cover. Once in awhile, it's good for me to get out of the JDM scene and see how Euro owners mod their cars.
Just in case if you haven't read our 'About us' section or 'Info' section in our fanpage, I personally consider Euro cars as Imports because technically, they are 'imported' to the states, hence why I categorize Japan and European cars as Imports. I know both communities want to separate themselves, but I'm all about thinking positively and want every car enthusiast to become a family.
