On July 9th The TunerFest invaded Wildwood, New Jersey, an otherwise family resort town located at the southern tip of New Jersey.

Hot cars filled the streets of Wildwood the night before the show, and hundreds of die hard fans attended the pre-party located at the Stardust Nightclub, where the dance floor was filled with gorgeous European women, eager to party like rock stars.

The Day of the show was hot, a balmy 98 degrees with high humidity, which was catalyst for all the tiny bikinis observed on the boardwalk and beach located just outside the Wildwoods Convention Center, where The TunerFest was held.

Over 200 show vehicles rolled into the Wildwoods Convention Center the day of the show, all competing for the first ever Lucas Oil 12 foot tall Best in Show trophy.

Also taking home the Lucas Oil 12 foot tall Best Team award was Team Emotion, who showed up in full force with their nationally known Widebody 350Z. Their right hand drive JDM civic and about 8 other best in show contending cars all took home awards. Team emotion represented in such force, that they scared off an otherwise heavy hitting local NJ car club that literally drove away with no emotion.

Despite this being The TunerFest's very first East Coast show, the turnout was huge and everyone certainly got what they drove all the way to the shore for. For well over 2 hours the TunerFest staff and models like Rose Hoang threw out thousands of dollars worth of free stuff into the crowd, including over $15,000 worth of Lucas Oil and products from companies such as KN Filters, Unlimited Tuning, Black Magic, speedimpact.com, JL Audio and ceriousperformance.com.

The highlight of the show certainly was when the TunerFest main stage was filled with 10 of the hottest ladies from all over the Northeast area. The final two contestants in what was left of their small bikinis battled it out for over $1000 worth of prize money. For more information on the TunerFest show series, visit: www.TheTunerFest.com
