SCN 04 CANADIAN TOUR
Haligonians
are probably the best example of true Canadians in the country. Theyre super friendly, drink beer like champions, say funny
things like, sociable and above all, are passionate about their sport compacts. SCN Halifax is the ultimate opportunity for
Maritimers to represent their Atlantic, east coast car culture in a transformed Exhibition Park venue.
With such a
tremendous response at last years SCN, we at Team SCP now know what to expect and are ready to turn it up a few notches. Expect
more of everything as the BF Goodrich Sport Compact Nights Tour gears up to be going, going, back, back, to Hali, Hali! | |

2003]
Throwing a sport
compact car show like Sport Compact Nights in a city thats never had one has both its advantages and disadvantages.
Throwing a sport compact car show like Sport Compact Nights in a city
thats never had one has both its advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, if the show goes well, you can take pride in saying
you have tried and succeeded at doing something that has never been done before. On the other hand, if the show fails, you
risk being run out of town and ruining any possibility of hosting a show in this uncharted territory ever again. Or at least
until the locals forget just how bad the show was. Overall, just not the sociable thing to do. After coming off a successful
launch of the tour in Montreal, the bar had been set and the desire to carry that momentum from Montreal over to Halifax was
paramount.
Thanks to careful planning,preparation and
a ton of help from Elliott LeBlanc of LowMotion.org and Xtreme Motorsports Lenny Boudreau, the Halifax edition of the BFGoodrich
Sport Compact Nights National Tour might just go down as the greatest Team SCP production ever. Despite a change of date and
the Nickelback concert one night before, the public showed up in droves, as did some of Atlantic Canadas finest sport compact
cars, some from as far as Prince Edward Island.
From start to finish, Sport Compact Nights provided show-goers
with a high-octane, high-energy event, keeping the public entertained throughout the day with breakers, live DJs spinning
back and forth on Pioneers new CJD1000s, all the while holding product giveaways at sponsors booths and onstage. The publics
lust for beautiful cars, beautiful women, courtesy of TYC Elegante and free stuff kept Exhibition Park filled to capacity
as the lineup at the ticket booths reached deep into the venue parking lot right through till closing time. |

Highlights of the show included Streetglows re-vamped Subaru
WRX with maxed out lighting and Spider-Man themed sound system. Chris Nankoos lowrider truck stopped spectators in their tracks
at the SportCompact.ca booth.(Actually, the lovely Kymberly Mei probably had a lot to do with that too!) BF Goodrich featured
Atlantic Canadas top vehicle, Serge Legers chameleoned-out turbo Teg from the lobster capital of Canada, Shediac. However,
the surprise of the show must have been New Brunswicks Xtreme Motorsport orange H22A swapped, turbocharged Integra who took
home top honours as Best of Show.
The second stop on the BFGoodrich Sport Compact Nights National Tour went down
on June 29 at Halifaxs Exhibition Park and as you can tell from the pics, it was some awesome. It looks like we may need to
expand to another city in the Maritimes for next years tour, Moncton perhaps? In any case, Maritimers proved that they could
hang with the best and that sport compact fever is alive and well, even in Nova Scotia. In 2004, Team SCP will definitely
be going, going, back, back, to Hali, Hali! See you all in Calgary for part 3 of the Sport Compact Nights Tour!
