Yes the location is definitely different this year!
It won't be in the covered lot this year, due to some issues with space and the casino. If we have a successful show this year we may relocate to the covered area.
We will have all the open areas for the stage, cars, vendors, etc.
With all HINs we have HIN models and HIN style entertainment

There was some guy that kept posting pictures about this on the facebook page, every single thread he'd post a picture advertising this. One of the admin eventually told him to cut it out, but it went on for WEEKS. I didn't even know blitz was a part of the marketing for this O.o I thought it was by some group I'd never even heard of. Regardless, I got some tickets to go with a few friends. I have to work that day, but I'm sure it'll be fine.

To reiterate because it's not on OP's post, its on Saturday August 1st. DOWN FOR MISS HOT IMPORT NIGHTS!!!
So, is this an outdoor event? I'm confused with the covered/non-covered areas.
also, when would you usually arrive by if youre displaying your car.. semi-interested

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!
We're going to see if we can get more free tickets for RS members only.
@Sunfighter - we definitely have lots of work to do, but we like the challenge
@Inaii - It took sometime to get things sorted out, but we're helping with their marketing and will be managing the marketing for HIN Canada. We're excited to help bring HIN to Vancouver, Calgary and few other Canadian cities in 2016!

I have a couple questions about registering my ride:
Does it cost anything?
Do you have to be there from start to close, 2pm-11pm? Are you able to leave if yo have to?
Is it just a show n shine type deal, where you get a spot and hang out?
Registration is still open on the site; are there spots left?
Thanks!

60 bucks to register a car.
This is not a show and shine, this is not a meet. This is Vancouver's only full on car show this entire summer. Trophies, models, sponsors, booths, the whole shebang. Lots of people from all over the PNW coming to compete.
I'm not gonna say they won't let you leave if you absolutely have to in an emergency, but this is a car show, the intent is that the cars in the show will be there from start to finish.
I think registration may still be open cause they opened a few more stalls, but the event is really close to full.

I have no idea. Organization for this event is just fucked. I bet roll in and stuff is gonna be a nightmare considering there has been like no communication whatsoever.
As a comparison, here is the email I received when I registered for this event (to date the only email I have received):
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/meme405/HIN_zpswv2qki6g.jpg (http://s149.photobucket.com/user/meme405/media/HIN_zpswv2qki6g.jpg.html)
Compared to the multiple of emails I received when I registered for stancewars:
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/meme405/Stancewars_zpsbrva0ylh.jpg (http://s149.photobucket.com/user/meme405/media/Stancewars_zpsbrva0ylh.jpg.html)
Which state exactly when, where, what to bring, what to expect, general information, etc. about the event.
I hope for goodness sake that the day of will be more organized than everything up until now has been, but I'm quickly losing hope.
Whoever is running this shit should just relinquish control to blitzgear and let them run it. Shit would be smooth as butter then.

Yep I got an email as well.
11am makes sense, gives them and you time to stage up, setup your car and area, clean and prep the vehicle for the show, etc.
I hate shows where I spend the first 2 hours trying to get around people looking at the car to clean parts or pieces. Also looking forward to cleaning the car the night before and not having re-clean it after driving all the way down to seattle like the last 10 shows i've been at. This time finally our american friends get to deal with that BS. :)
Lots of stuff to do between now and the show. Should be an interesting couple nights...

Can't believe they parked Revscene in the lower parking lot...:rukidding:
If you can say one organization/group runs, manages, and dedicates their time to the Vancouver car scene it's Shoei and all the guys that run RS. If your gonna come into this communities city, atleast have the respect to recognize the people that basically made this city SOCAL north.
Other than that little mix up of staggering the event into two parking lots unnecessarily, everything else was pretty good for a first year event at a venue which as far as I know has never had a car show like this.
There was little glitches throughout the day, but both Blitz, the casino, and whoever else was working behind the scenes did their best to fix it promptly and keep the show going.
Overall I'm happy to say I was pretty wrong in my earlier statements about the organizing of this event, it wasn't so much that there wasn't any, I think the communication about what was happening was just a little lack luster.

Yeah that was the problem, I know so many people that came through the show and messaged me later or whatever asking me how come I wasn't there. When in reality we were there, just in some stupid segregated parking lot, like we are some sort of second class citizen.
Whatever I'm over it, just wanted people to know that if you missed us, it wasn't cause we weren't there. Just looking forward to the summer meet at this point. :toot:
If people have pictures of the event get them up. :chairdance:

Lots of really nice cars at the show. Was nice to wander around for an hour or so. The NSX-R was my favourite,that thing was so beautifully put together, front to back, top to bottom.
The sideshow of all the nice rides in the back parking lot wasn't bad either! Looked like there was an ad hoc meet going on in the back when I left.. wanted to go but I already given up my spot to this guy in an FD that was circling looking for a spot. Couldnt stand seeing a 13b having to trudge around at low revs in that heat :P

Pretty good show I thought. Glad it was free to attend. I was happy I was able to bring my car considering it had been down and out for a year. Lots of nice vehicles in attendance. Cool to put some faces to screen names and seeing some old peeps that I hadn't seen in a while.
The awards were kind of lack luster and the announcer chick botched the award for the MDA Fab guys. "MDM, MDM, is MDM here? Oh, I mean MDF, MDF." Some dude shouted MDA and then she got it right. Haha!

Organization was pretty bad imo.. A lot of staff there seemed unprofessional and some were volunteers, just overall kind of ruined the HIN name for me. No one knew about the two separate lots for VIP and non VIP, was also the first time that I saw such a big difference between the two entries. Many people up top at the main lot didn't even know that the bottom lot existed. Halfway through the show, half of the bottom show lot was given out to public parking for the casino, then a few hours later the people at the bottom lot were told they had to move since the casino needed that parking lot back for customers, lol. Early in the afternoon there were a bunch of people who were registered in the non VIP lot asking for money back or asking to be moved up to the top lot, and that was a huge mess. Had people screaming and shouting, the staff yelling back after being yelled at.
No security, one of the guys who got denied access to the VIP lot literally just drove the car up there himself past the Blitzgear guys and parked his car and got a spot up at the VIP lot. Had a bunch of people randomly starting their cars and revving the shit out of it, and I'm not talking about the rev off either that they had afterwards. Overall it was ridiculous, but I'm sure no one that was simply looking at the show noticed much of it. It was kind of bunk, but I did like the music there and when the sun set and car lights went on, it was pretty cool. Other than that, seemed like an overhyped car meet that you had to pay to enter. Importfest and the regular REVscene summer meets are by far better than HIN. Also, what was up with the tickets being sold for $$ and then having it at a parking lot where anyone could walk in without paying?
Just needed to rant a bit after that experience. Bleh. Anyways, here are a few pictures that I quickly snapped before the sun set

was this HIN or the over fender meet/show :troll:
The MC was pretty cringe. Most of the time spent was "come on guys you're making me sleepy!"
Should've just gotten felixy69 to MC lol :troll:
The revving was ridiculous. You got some douchebag in a corner bouncing off redline of their car/motorcycle while it's way quieter than the actually built cars.
Then there's the awards that went to the exotics with widebody kits. There are other builds that have way more time and effort put in inside out with custom interiors and built motors, which were simply overlooked.

For whoever had a negative experience at this show please note that its not reflective of other shows. I've been to the HIN in Seattle last year (as I'm sure many others here have too) and it was much better organized with all more vendors, more events and more cars (and all in the Tacoma Dome) without the segregation.

also as I was leaving someone snagged a picture of me, can you send it? blue e46 with bike rack on roof :toot:

Overall I definitly had a good time at the show.
I realLy like the fact that It was free and located near a high traffic area.
It gave the chance to non automotive poeple to get to know us...and understand that not all of us are street racers and that some of us treat our car as a plateform for arts and creativity.
It also gave a chance for vendors like BPG tuning to really promote their products to general public where their market is.
I do wish their stage set up was better and should put more budget into their audio equipments. The fu*k ups on theIR mic are very annoying

Your hood is a piece of art. Your car is pretty much a piece of history at this point. Too fucking epic dude.
I have shown so many people a picture of your hood, and they all thought I had done my photoshop magic on it to get the clear hood effect, they were all shocked when I told them that's what its actually like.

It didn't even seem close to ready, unless he had another theme going. To each their own, but seriously?
Overall, slightly questionable organization was running behind a decently arranged show, hopefully 2016 becomes a more solid production.
I thought this was the best show ever.

Looked even worse in person. I was looking for parking but i ended up in the registration line from all the staff directing me that way. (Guess that was a good thing lol) I wanted to take pics of the nice line up of cars but i was stuck behind that thing so i had to go out of my way to snap in front of his car, cause it would have been ruined. SEE THE FRONT OF HIS CAR ON THE LEFT IN THE LINE UP??

They should really have some kind of screening to at least filter out cars like the corolla lol. The silver rx8 up top actually just forced his way in, there was a huge commotion early afternoon about the differences between the upper vip lot and the lower non vip lot, and everyone wanted to move up to get a refund. They didn't let many people up, and at first they didn't let anyone move up at all and the rx8 just drove past the cones past the blitzgear guys and parked his car up top. Saw some of the Blitzgear guys give a "wtf?" motion, but in the end they didn't kick him out. Organization at its finest lol

I was at the Queensborough baseball park and could hear the cars reving. *SMH
the day was extremely hot. We at revscene was given a large area to work with, and did what we could with it. I myself will never win a trophy as i refuse to go as crazy or as far as the guys that compete at these shows. seeing their setups however is awesome as i give total respect to all that put their imagination to light. My goal has always been to see how much booth i can pack in my car without needing to park it outside at some lot 5 blocks away.
I honestly didnt walk upstairs to the main show. I stayed in and around the booth, only to step out for an ice run. I was the big asian guy that was helping out the organizer move some cars from the lower lot to the upper lot around 6pm.
Didnt know what to expect, but havent been to an HIN for over 10 years (back to the first ever HIN in seattle)
But its always great seeing old friends, and what they've gotten done to their cars in the past year,
