Dub Magazine and DDAY, two names that need little
introduction for one is an Automotive Lifestyle
publication ubiquitous by name and by their decals
upon vehicles of all categories, the other is a car
show circuit that in the span of a few years has made
its mark in the competitive and entertainment circuit
of car shows. May 5, 2002, at the Orange Show
Fairgrounds in San Bernardino, Southern California,
was their latest show under the hospice of beautiful
sunny weather bringing in over 700 show vehicles, over
15,000 attendants, with live concert performances and
entertainment, a handful of celebrities, and a bikini
show that raised interest, eyebrows, and temperatures
amongst other things.
The show contained a sundry of vehicles made up of
imports, luxuries, sport utilities, domestics,
motorcycles and even a boat or two. Car clubs that
made an appearance included Swift, E-legal Imports,
Team Max, Connected, Another Level, Team Autobots,
Fatalism, Unveiled, G-zer Tribe, Unveiled, Refined
Image and making their first appearance at any show
was Nokturnal car club. Vehicles belonging to the
stars were also on hand. The likes of Shaquille
O’Neal, Korn, Chris Mills, Sugar Shane Mosley, Latrell
Sprewell and a handful of others showed off their
vehicles for the public to see. A much deserved
mentioning is due to the crew of Omaha, Nebraska named
Midwest Customs that made the 1,500 miles trip to
represent in full hitting force. Arriving with eight
vehicles comprised of a luxury Jaguar, Escalades,
Denalis, an F-150 and a Blackwood, Midwest Customs
made a dynamic showing and established their presence
with fervor.
Making their presence known among the attendants were
The Score Gentlemen’s Club showgirls, the California
Glamour Girls, a bountiful amount of gorgeous ladies
for the cameras, and inversely for the ladies they too
had many fellows to visually make contact with. The
ethnic mix of the show was a smorgasbord worthy of
applause. Latinos, Asians, Caucasians,
African-Americans made up the bulk of the attendants,
and all together shared the same interest of DDAY.
Celebrities spotted at the venue included the likes of
the Goodfellas, Big Boy, Fuzzy, Xzibit and others.
Also taking time from their duties and making a
showing were members of the 4th LAAD Battalion of the
United States Marine Corps along with their Avenger
Weapon System/Stinger Missile vehicle. Hats off to
our servicemen.
Many hats were in the ring of entertainment for the
show. Livening things up were the performances by the
Black Eyed Peas, Coolio, Fabolous, Rakim, and others.
Also revving the spirits of the crowd was the Metal
Mulisha motocross group that performed stunts and
tricks soaring through the air. The stunts and tricks
that caused the attendants enjoyment to soar the
highest was that of the Bikini show. With $2000 up
for grabs, the contestants gave the crowd an
exhibition that sparked applause and cheers. The
sensual gestures, gymnast like displays, full faceted
backsides, gushing water tactics, and revealing
tidbits began to move the crowd to its energetic peak.
Boiling down to the finalists they fired up the crowd
further as it came down to the wire with top honors
going to an artsy local playgirl that conducted
herself with precision.
Venue operations were precise and expedient. Entrance
into event was fairly speedy considering the amount of
attendants. Parking was plentiful and concessions of
various tastes were on hand to quench the thirsts of
the dehydrated and to satisfy the palates of the
hungry. Restrooms were on hand and up to par. No
attendant traffic bottlenecks were observed and no
scuffles or troubling situations occurred either.
Entrance into event was $25 for those that
pre-purchased, and $30 at the door. Expedient and
courteous security, show staff, local police
department, and participants all helped bring it all
together.
DDAY has brought something for the masses to share in,
and something for the masses to take home with. This
day’s festive outcome adds another stripe to Dub
Magazine.
