THOUSANDS of patrons poured in the parking lot of the National Arena for the second staging of Skunk Nation's Import Tuner Night (ITN) held last Saturday.
"It went excellent. We had a great turnout. We had over 4,000 people for what we thought was a good production," Nick Lue, one of the organisers told Auto.

Despite the larger venue, the show was still 'oversubscribed'.
"We planned for 300 cars to be on show, only to have even more than that arrive. We had no place to put all of them," Lue said.
There was something for everyone. Car clubs including Tezzaworld, Subaru Owners Club of Jamaica, and 876 Civic banded together to create their own display areas. Car performance products were also on sale.
The entertainment package saw Sue Ann Gordon taking Miss Skunk Nation title as well as performances from Denyque and Garland Rowe, formerly Ghee Whiz.
American Javier Ortega, who selected the event's Best Honda, was impressed with the show.
Ortega is the organiser of Honda Day in the United States which was attend by 15,000 enthusiasts and over 800 cars on display.
"I was very impressed with the show, the production as a whole and the local support," Ortega told Auto.
The American said he was most impressed by ATL Automotive support for the event.
"ITN managed to pull off a trick I am yet to do.... that is, to have such heavy support from an actual dealer. I think it says a lot about the show and the commitment to the scene from the Original Equipment Manager (OEM)."
Ortega selected Perryon Coomarsingh's Honda Integra Type R as the 'Best Honda'.
Best Subaru was won by Christopher Sun; Nissan went Marlon Powell; Donald Ellis secured the Best Toyota award; Best Euro went to Deano Lewis; Andrew Facey got Old School Ride title; and Toussaint Smith claimed the Best Mitsubishi award.
