New Image Motorsports @ HIN/NOPI NY July 25, 2010

When you get used to a flow, sometimes you overlook the details. That was the factor that caused a unNIMlike performance in the results for the weekend of HIN/NOPI NY. Held at Englishtown, NJ, the usual show practice is top 100 Sat, and fully judged Sun. NIM shows up Sunday with what could have been best team quality, plus at least 5 other awards. Since the rules were different this time at a normal NIM venue, the standings were compromised. Turns out for this specific show, cars were to be there both Saturday and Sunday to be eligible for any top honors, and there was a lesser achievement to bring home if you were there just one day. With the details of awards being overlooked, NIM came up with this.....

Another hot day at Englishtown, NJ for the DUB tour / SUMMERSLAM event, where NIM came 7 deep to represent what passion and dedication for a scene really means in a time where we all have priorities, budgets and sacrifices.

Situated in the VIP courtesy of TSL/ESR/Urban, outfitted in World Cup inspired apparel, drinks flowing, music bumping, New Image BEEN HAD another great weekend.

Spring Nationals Englishtown, NJ May 2, 2010

Nowadays with shows being spread far and thin, a show that comes around to the NIMTOUR's stomping ground is not going to go unattended. Showing 19 rides strong, that was more than enough to qualify and then some for the team title. In their own backyard the NIMTOUR2010 take home the coveted title along with 13 other distinctive hardware titles. Anyone who is is the show scene will tell you that a show is hard work and long hours but you could hardly tell with this group. Every show, they seem to have a blast and such a great time before, during, and after a show. The NIMTOUR is a year round party, but don't get it twisted, this team is focused and been had for the past 10 years and going. Be sure to be on the lookout for more of this team at a show in your area. Always a big thanks you to friends and family and support from the likes of Grafx, ESR and TSL and all affiliates. Today's MVP: Squirrel

SPOTTED: The Punisher

The NIMTOUR has been a success for sometime now. Hard work and countless hours invested proved favorable for the team. Another aspect of the scene, and one of our unsung heroes, is our very own Rich Ruiz of Exotic Carriers. Rich and his '01 Kentworth W900L has been counted upon time and time again to transport the NIM prized possessions coast to coast, and has been New Image for some time. He attends the major trucking events and kills the competition in many categories. His truck has even transported and competed for the same event, taking home multiple trophies at events like HIN Minnesota and Texas. Without Rich, there wouldn't be that NIM presence west of the Mississippi. He gets his recognition, and his exposure can be seen on an episode of Speed channel's HIN Minneapolis, and in 10-4 magazine as cover and centerfold. Congrats and thanks to Rich for being a big part of the NIMTOUR.

Fall Nationals October 4, 2009

Winding down to the end of the season, things can get out of hand. But for this team, putting thing aside and showing everyone why they are such a great team is not a problem. After all is said and done, the NIMTOUR still proves themselves time and time again. As with any club, organization, or team of any kind, working as a family means taking the good with the bad. Every family has their arguments issues and difference of opinions, but how you deal with them is key to what makes a tight knit comraderie, that is the backbone of greatness. Its what seperates the teams that break off, shut down, or dissolve from teams that have stood the test of time. As 2010 come around the corner, New Image is just going to get stronger...10 years strong and still counting. Not many can say that.

Importfest Toronto September 12, 2009

When push comes to shove, being part of a quality team makes up for anything ill fate can throw into the mix. This is evident for this team for this weekend. After the broken down cars, popped vaccuum lines, hotel lobby fights, lost keys, getting lost in canada, being detained in customs on the way in, being detained at customs on the way out, the lack of judging for unfavorable results, and whatever else could have gone wrong would have. NIM kept a strong presence at the show and didn't let these obstacles phase them. Canada got a taste of what a great team is about. Rolling 10 deep including the debut of the wide body white lexus, the NIMTOUR09 crossed the border to make an impact on the show. Quoting the awards MC, 'New Image, you done yet?' NO. there's more to come. Just remember, there's no 'I' in team

D1GP September 5, 2009

Another local show, another strong show. The NIMTOUR09 is taking the last few shows for the season to another level. The F4 challenge recognizes the hard work and dedication that NIM has brought to the field and the industry as a whole. New Image came 11 strong to show what a well built team is all about. Rolling without a few of the NIM heavy hitters is not a problem for this team when the rest of the team can hold the fort down. 2 team awards and 14 individual award is a job well done. Season is coming to an end, and next stop is IMPORTFEST in toronto. Thanks to Etown, D1, Andy and the F4C for another great show.

RIXMAG car show July 12, 2009

Hot midday then it let up to let our party on. NIM had a blast and it shows. Rolling 24 deep and still having a good time requires team work and it is seen at every show no doubt. NIM is definitely so much more than an organization, it is a family. Involving the kids makes for a great time and the kids definitely help represent the tour. You can not overlook children and joy they bring. Having a show right by the fair for the kids was a great addition. Not to mention the fair food. And for those that didn't get to go on the rides missed out on a good time. Thanks to Rico @ http://RIXMAG.com for having us. NIM had a blast. The NIMTOUR09 parties on and on....

Summer Slam NJ June 28, 2009

Armed with tents to shelter and coolers of 'drinks', NIMTOUR09 came out to Englishtown, NJ for the annual SUMMER SLAM event. Parking for the team cars was segregated into classes, so we had to run back and forth to check on the cars and for the judges. But as many cars gave up and went home, the NIM cars migrated to the tents to congregate and have a good time. The venue was packed with many of the local clubs coming for the $1000 prize for deepest club. 'Who won the money?'...."NOT US!" But we did manage these....

Our good friends at Infamous creations hosted their annual car show in Old Bridge hosted by MC Slick. Despite the rain, the show went on, drawing out 100+ cars from the area. Lots of familiar faces and vendors spanned the show floor. Some of the NIM cars came out to support IC and took home a couple awards.

Azevedo Motorsports Car Show June 6, 2009

Doing back to back shows is hardcore. The NIMTOUR09 came out after a arduous day at HINPA the night before to come and support one of the teams good friend's, Rui Azevedo. It is his first show ever and of course New Image is going to show their love and support for the shop. Many of the team cars have been going to the shop and the shop cranks out our magazine cars one after another. As an integral part of the NIMTOUR's success, Azevedo Motorsports is always on our schedule. The day progressed as laid back as can be, with barbecuing, DJ providing music, the ice cream truck came thru all day, and just hanging out under the trees in the park. It was good to just relax and have a good time with the NIM family. For more information on Azevedo Motorsports visit http://www.AzevedoMotorsports.com or call 908.925.3157 to start your show stopping, high horsepower build.

HIN PA June 9, 2009

Its like a suicide mission. NIMTOUR09 knew going into PA was going to be nothing but trees and farms, but the real surprise was the conditions of the venue. Parking pristine painted show cars on loose rock pavement with dust and debris is not the ideal conditions for a show, but they made the most of it and came out strong and in numbers. Situated past the main stage, NIMTOUR09 is easily recognized by branded shirts, NIMbar and hot cars. Don't get it mixed up, it was just the NEW IMAGE in the roped off section. So they made something out of the long day where the sun was beating down during the day and dust flying around the whole time. They made it a good time and the pics prove it. But they know that next time they coming pro, and by pro i mean keeping the area clean.

HIN Englishtown, NJ May 16, 2009

The NIMTOUR09 makes another great turnout in HIN NJ bringing a good time and a couple of those trophy things. Despite the on and off drizzles and relentless pollen, NIM was able to make the roped off section the life of the show. Situated at the main entrance, the first thing you see when you come into HIN is the NIM party. DJ Yoshi kept the crowd coming over. Cyndi Tran had the crowd mesmerized. Branded giveaways were flying, NIM t-shirts, NIM sneaker bags, NIM towels, NIM glow sticks and even sham-wow had to come over with some product giveaways to get in on the action. There was even a congo line and bottles popping. It was a sea of gold foiled red shirted members having a blast. And the 21 NIM cars were cool.

Congrats to all the winners and the NIMTOUR. All the glitz and glamor would not be possible if it werent for the contributions and dedication of those like
