Sportcompactnights ca. Calgary

http://www.sportcompactnights.ca/


I know many of you wont want to go to this event but was wondering if any one is entering their 7? I am bringing my car up and will be in the BFG booth if any one is interested. It would be nice to have a few7`s at the show and I know, many think this stuff is crap but I enjoy seeing all types of cars and the work that goes into them. Hope to see some of You.

There was a time when I went to every one of these kinds of shows. I got sick of seeing the same cars over and over again, and then having some car with zero engine mods win best of show. But if your car's going to be there Steve maybe I'll come by and have a look. I'll see if I can convince a few others. Don't think I'll enter my car though.

There will be an awesome widebody NSX and a very nice Skyline from the states. I think there will be cars from BC. I am not sure about the RX-8 they have listed? There were very many hot young models to look at and a few stippers at the last show I was at. Not that would matter when you are old as me but still nice to see. Hope to see you there.

The hip hop culture bullshit kinda puts me off that stuff, maybe I am getting old, but the booming rap and some guy breakdancing I dont think belongs at shows, I am not even sure how that stuff got attached to the import car scene, I think because it cant support its own show I guess, I wonder during a hip hop concert , do they roll out waxed cars and park them in front of the DJs, prolly not but I digress..
Good luck Steve, put a rotor on the ground beside your car and baffle people with it...max

Just click on the link and look for the registration.
Max, I am not a big fan of the Hip Hop but these kind of shows are mostly for the kids. I will take my rotor as always.

Yes, there are a lack of rotarys in these shows and it would be nice to see some more. Lots of Sylvias and Skylines are the rage out west. Hope to see your car there Archangles.

I wasn't acctually planning on going to this show, but now that it seems there will be some rotaries there, i'm motivated to go. It will be nice to see some other members cars.

I would come to Calgary more but the 300 K drive in my car is punishing and I would go nuts from the drone of the exhaust. I was hoping some of the guys would be at this event but it is not every ones thing. I am getting old but still enjoy things like this every now and then. Well I hope to see a few guys around.
