This NightShift event at Pomona offered an enormous variety of attractions to all kinds of car enthusiasts. Some of the features included the car show, the street bike contest, the Valvoline Dyno display, the Boost FreeStyle MX jumping, the Dunlop drifting demo, and many good looking models. There was more than enough to keep you entertained throughout the evening. Free NOS Energy drink booths at every corner kept you going all night.
The car show itself had hundreds of modified tuner vehicles including drift cars, European tuners, American muscle cars, tricked out SUV’s, and even custom motorcycles. Some impressive displays included the wide body High End Infinity G37 with custom turbos and the Bridgestone BMW coupe equipped with modifications for serious time attack racing. Some other crazy cars included a single seater Supra that replaced the passenger seat with three extra amplifiers and a brand new Dodge SRT Challenger parked at the front entrance.
Several displays of serious skill and control throughout the evening provided unique entertainment for the audience. The Dunlop drifting demo was a popular event lining the fences along the track with excited spectators. The DriftSpeed team provided a series of crowd pleasing professional drift trials, creating the most noise and smoke out of all the cars to hit the track. The street bike demo was another impressive show of ability. The riders dominated their superbikes performing burnouts, wheelies, stoppies and other stunts flawlessly. As the sun set over the surrounding hills of Pomona, the MX team set up their lights and the bikers performed huge jumps over the long Boost Mobile van.
