I wasn’t paying attention earlier this year so I missed when Hot Import Nights was in Chicago in the spring. I was sure to make the Nightshift in the summer because I missed that one. HIN was outside on one of the hottest days of the year. There were hundreds of cars spread out over Soldier Field’s parking lot as well as racing and music performances. I spent over three hours at Hot Import Nights this year and I really only left because all of the batteries in my cameras died. The show was huge, but I have listed most of the highlights below.
Best in Show
The blue R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R from Washington
Wildest Ride
The orange Acura CL with the Silvia headlights
Most Unique
