Import Face-Off (IFO) originated in 2001 and is the largest, continually running national Import show and race series in the U.S. (40+ events from coast to coast annually). Our 400th event was in March, 2018! The series pays out $250,000+ in cash, trophies, and prizes a year! Over $3.2 million in cash and trophy payouts have been paid out to event winners since IFO’s origin. Much more than just a race and show, IFO is a lifestyle event that follows current market trends. All together, series activities include: meet, car/truck/bike show, 1/4 mile drag racing, stereo crank it up contest, model expo, burnout contest, DJs, drifting, low car limbo, 2 step competition, and vendors. Don’t miss the next IFO that comes to your area! (Description courtesy of https://importfaceoff.net/)
This is absolutely not the correct way to remove a windshield. Seriously. Don’t try this at home, or we’ll laugh at you when glass shards go flying everywhere. You’ve been warned! Enjoy the video. ^_^
The BMW E36 is the third generation of the BMW 3 Series range of compact executive cars, and was produced from 1990 to 2000. The initial models were of the four-door sedan body style, followed by the coupe, convertible, wagon and hatchback. The E36 was the first 3-Series to be offered in a hatchback bodystyle. It was also the first 3-Series to be available with a six-speed manual transmission, a five-speed automatic transmission and a four-cylinder diesel engine. The multi-link rear suspension was also a significant upgrade, as compared to the previous generations of the 3-Series. The high performance E36 M3 is powered by the BMW S50 or BMW S52 straight-six engine. (Description courtesy of Wikipedia)
The Show-Me Rally will consist of multiple stages, run over gravel roads through wonderful Washington County Missouri. Located in Eastern Missouri in the great Mark Twain forest, you will enjoy rolling country side views, and great roads through the forests. The City of Potosi welcomes all competitors and volunteers to the area and hope you enjoy your stay while you are here for the rally. Show-Me Rally is a performance rally car race, using street legal vehicles, which have additional safety gear and full roll cages. For any newcomers to rallying, a rally consists of “transit zones” and “special stages”. A transit has the rally teams on the roads with the general public following all traffic rules and merely gets the competitors from one special stage to the next. A special stage is a closed to-the-public section of road(s) where teams are allowed to travel from the start to the finish as fast as they can. Teams are started one minute apart, so there is no wheel-to-wheel racing. The total elapsed times for each team over all of the special stages will determine both individual class and overall victories of the event. In addition, Show-Me Rally is run “blind”, where the teams have not seen the roads ahead of time. For the past few months, the Show-Me Rally Committee has again been working with the local government officials economic partners, to ensure a well organized and safe event. Show-Me Rally aims to help give the area an economic boost by bringing in multiple teams, their service crews, officials, and hundreds of volunteers from outside the area. The Washington County road commissioners have given the organizers of Show-Me Rally permission to temporarily close a few county roads for short periods of time on Saturday. Saturday will begin with a rally car show (Expose) and opening ceremony. Teams will compete throughout the afternoon. (Description courtesy of http://showmerally.100aw.org/)
