For the last six years, Acura of Lynnwood has had a meet or car show at their dealership in Lynnwood, WA. This year they approached us and wanted us to bring an even wider variety and quantity of cars. We had always heard great things about the event so we decided to join on board and try to make it even better.

The day was perfect! It was one of the hottest days so far this year and despite the World Cup and another large event going on in Eastern Washington, the turnout was great. Chris Jeanneret even brought his Formula Drift Honda S2000 drift car built by SpeedFactory Racing.
We were impressed with the level of quality and variety at the meet. It was also great to see members from local clubs in attendance. We appreciate the continued support from our friends at TeamInnovationsNW, Stock Customs, and EverClean State. We even had 12 Acura NSX’s at the meet which is the largest turnout ever for an Acura of Lynnwood meet!
In the past Acura of Lynnwood had a mobile dyno and we decided to continue the tradition but add awards for the highest horsepower cars in various categories. The most impressive car of the day was last year’s IMSCC winner Stu Hagen’s 1997 Toyota Supra which put down 775 WHP!
