TunerFest Car show series presented by Lucas Oil made their final stop of the
year in Oklahoma City, September 24, 2005, at The Cox Convention Center. Unlike
The Jersey Shore TunerFest earlier last year in July, the hurricane path missed
Oklahoma City, but the results were the same as Jersey, a line out the door of eager
people, and a convention center full of hot rides.
Attendees of the show were treated to the Lucas Oil Racing Trailer, the national
Scion Display, The Battle of the Imports Racing Transporter, and the Torco NHRA Pro
Stock Race team hauler and cobalt racecar. If that was not enough, Vertical Smiles was
at the show with their nationally known model, Brooke, signing autographs and
dominating the always popular Bikini contest with a $500 prize going to the winner.
G4TV made the trip out from Los Angeles to film their national television show, Street
Fury, hosted by Big C.
As much as the crowd was mesmerized by the bikini contest and the MTS
Performance wet T-shirt contest, nobody that entered through The TunerFest doors
walked away empty handed. In case you have not had a chance to hit a TunerFest
show, it is a must for all of you looking to score some freebies. TunerFest staff and the
girls from okimports.com sprayed the crowd for hours with free stuff from their
sponsors: Black Magic, KN Filters, Lucas Oil, Blowin Smoke Ent., Wild 97.9, S3
Magazine, Oíreilly Auto Parts, Scion, and Superior Window Tinting.
Vehicles were on hand from several states including Bryan Lyn's 2001 Celica
GT from Arkansas, which walked away with the 8 foot tall best Import Trophy. For sure
nobody will forget the 25+ vehicles Team Scikotics rolled in with, headed by Jon
Adams, including vehicles on hand from New York, and Wisconsin which obviously
took the 12 foot Lucas Oil best crew rep trophy. Team 16niss rolled out the heavy
guns with their 2 rare skylines, and their always crowd pleasing Sylvia driven by
German Sanchez of Texas. It was to nobody's surprise that this team walked away
with the 8 foot best team quality award and the 12 foot tall Lucas Oil Best in Show
trophy with Germans crowd pleasing Blue Skyline.
Jeremy Werner, Saul V, Bruce and staff once again put on another kicking
TunerFest show. With a reasonably priced show for competitors and entrants, where
nobody walks away empty handed, these shows are definitely not going away
anytime soon. For more of the show coverage log onto www.TheTunerFest.com.
