just in case some of you missed it, another meet thread by OP:

:lol @ the remarks

This is pretty spot on.

Toyo Tires pulled their sponsorship on DTP citing economic factors and coincidentally, this all happened during and after the recession.

People nowadays are just making ends meet so any sort of "mod" will result in a change of trends. Building a high compression motor or a turbo kit isn't feasible anymore. Gas costs a lot of money. Instead, people are interested in just throwing on a set of wheels and lowering their cars and calling it a day.

The scene is still there. But peoples interests have moved on.

Again I really think its just a Vancouver thing. Importfest and other shows still go strong in the rest of Canada and numerous shows in the US. You say people's interests have moved on but I really think its sponsors pockets have just got smaller due to the ressession. But I still think the interest is still there. If a show did pop up here I think all spots would be taken and many would still attend to watch. That's just my 2 cents

06,07,08 DTP sponsored by toyo tires canada.
09,10 was the recession
11 DTP sponsored by yokohama

Dont think it will return for '12.

I miss importfest, scn, and old dtp by toyo trophies...they were bigger...lol

remember the old "boom" car show in landsdowne? some of you OG's will remember these pictures...

Boom was the first show I ever went to. I remember the owner of a 360 Modena started revving his car, the guys at Brian Jessel Ferrari decided to do the same with their 550 Maranello resulting in the car dumping oil all over the ground.

yup i remember that lol:ahwow:

Old memories of boom 2001...

If I recall correctly, thats when ajr yellow ek hatch just finished painted, and we all met for breakfast before roll-in. Alan was always the hard worker...
I see ajr3 ek sir, and kei gors civic, and REVs turbo odyssey haha...

G5 / stage5 strong as always....even bpt crew played hard.

We all rolled in group by group...anyone remember the revving contest? LoL...cops were all waiting to vi us...

apparently my EK might be the boom plus EK :lol

under my "vtec in car" decal on the hatch, there is supposedly the boom plus decal. i've never looked though so it's just speculation at best.

Wow. Blast from the past!

Now those were some fun shows.

Really? Was yours the boom plus ek? Morris's old car? Hahaha...jdm legend.

Actually I spotted berzerker's ek green hatch many many moons ago at AK, think you were talking to andy in the parking lot, I rolled in and went inside to the back. I can see you put a lotta work in it...personal preference right? :)

Civic guys still cant park straight after 10 years! :fullofwin:

yup my first too, from what i remember G5 had the most crew and all civics with DOHC VTEC and that was the bomb back then cus it cost 8g's to swap one in lol

so when is the RS Summer meet?

there's a really good chance that it is. i've always tried to track down the history of my car and that's where everyone's story seems to end. also, there aren't a whole lot of white ek hatches around since it requires a full custom paint job. USDM ek hatches never came in white from factory :)

Yah honda never offered white ek hatch in canada, kinda like my accord so full paintjob was needed...but states is different.

Well theres ajr, bpt had a white one...and rev had one too if not mistaken.

I did win Best Honda at DTP though :fullofwin:

Berz out.

I threw out 3 different stacks of Boom photos last week cleaning house.

Congrats dude!

I took home 1st place best honda showoff at vancouver dtp 2006, 2007, and 2008. :)
