HybridHunnyz.com 2nd Year Anniversary

January 30, 2009 marks www.HybridHunnyz.com‘s 2 Year Anniversary.

What started as an idea I had in 1995 to call our own models that I brought to the import car competitions has turned into a business 2 years ago.

Not knowing how long this would last, we are now here @ the 2 year mark and I have to thank not only our photographer, Aaron Foklok and the beautiful Hunnyz, but Team Hybrid, the members (Mike Lin, Dustin Schulze, Scott Dean, and Steven Starr) who helped behind the scenes and our supporters worldwide.

Truly appreciate it and we would not be able to last another day if it were not for all of you.

Nikita Esco & Natalia Marie would also like to thank all of you too.

 

 

 

Fast Fours Magazine (Australia) ‘Cover’ January 2009

Congratulations to Archie Concon’s 498 Horsepower AWD 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage for making the COVER and a 5 page feature in Fast Fours Magazine (Australia) January 2009 Issue, pgs 050-054. Fast Fours wrote, “Can’t Buy It, Just Build It!”

“It took Mitsubishi eight versions of their Lancer Evolution before they recognized that Americans were hungry for their turbocharged brand of “special sauce”. The exact raison d’être for their slow realization of market potential is the subject of much debate, most of which centers around the supposed lack of interest in the World Rally Championship. Archie Concon, of Las Vegas, Nevada, suffers from no such issue and, in fact, wanted an “early Evo 2-door” so badly that he’s engineered his own!

Team Hybrid – Happy 14th Year Anniversary

January 7, 2009.. another milestone has been reached. It is our 14th year anniversary so happy anniversary Hybridzzz & Hunnyzzz. Can you believe it? Founded on January 7, 1995 in Oxnard, Ca and after seeing 70+ of you @ our Christmas party when we have a total of about 80-100+ and seeing how our team is performing in the first 6 days of the new year esp. when the import scene is suffering due to a bad world economic situation, the co-leaders and I are prouder than ever and even more confident that we will hit our goal of the 15 year mark. Thanks for all you do and much Hybrid Luv goes out to all the current co-leaders/co-leaders in training/members/hunnyz/probies that are still active with us today. See you @ the 14 Year Team Hybrid and 2 Year HybridHunnyz.com Anniversary Party (Date/Location TBA).

This quote of mine means more to me than ever, “May our tradition continue making history…”

Hybrid luv,

James Lin

 

 

 

R35 GT-Rs at Buttonwillow – Dec. 29th, 2008

On Monday Dec 29, 2008 @ Buttonwillow Raceway, our very own Darin Ferraro, Las Vegas Chapter, coordinated and executed twelve R35 GTRs to race #13 CW at the Buttonwillow track for the day. There were video guys in attendance, our very own team photographer, Adam Cha from TYC Photography, Alex the GTR book author, some special time attack guests showing up and lastly, our very own member from Las Vegas Chapter, Mike Combes helping by driving the van with all the wheels/tires/tools. The highlights of the day were of course our very own Darin’s Budez/Hybrid R35 and owner of Axis Wheels, James Chen’s R35 going at it at the same time on the tracks.

Darin and Dave Hang (NorCal Chapter w/ the Miata) are two great recent examples of our members and/or probies bring the RACE of Team Hybrid back in action. On top of that, both cars lived up to our motto of Team Hybrid RACE-STREET-SHOW. This is also what our title sponsors BFGoodrich/Michelin is pushing and looking for 2009. Good job making it come to life once again and helping our team be even more well rounded.
