Our definition of an import street car:
Import street cars are defined as cars that are produced by non-US manufacturers, are regularly driven on the street, registered in the state in which the competitor resides, and covered by insurance. At minimum, all safety equipment must meet or exceed factory specifications. Cars must have a functioning heater.
In addition, all cars must have a factory dashboard and at least 2 front seats and door panels. Rear seats, door panels, stereo and a spare tire are not required but car show points will be deducted for cars with minimal interior and no audio system.
In May, a small panel of ImportMeet.com Founding Members will be deciding on the final group of cars to compete in the IMSCC. The competitors that our panel chooses will be notified via email. Backup cars will be chosen in the event that someone has to forfeit their spot in the competition.
The Import Meet Street Car Competition events will occur on August 8 – August 10, 2014. There will be a $325 entry fee for each car that is selected. Only cars that are selected will be required to pay this fee. The entry fee includes all track/dyno fees, an official “Driver” IMSCC t-shirt, a vehicle sticker pack, Garrett gear, Hawk gear, and other free products from sponsors of the IMSCC. It does not include lodging, fuel, or food. If you think you have what it takes to compete in this competition, please click the link below and fill out the application form completely!
