5. Booth Babes

Miss HIN 2005 - Ursula Mayes

Of course, you can't go to a car show, without seeing some women. It seemed as if hundreds of beautiful women were on hand to lure show attendees to their respective booths and cars. So if you go to Hot Import Nights, bring your camera. Everything and everyone can be photographed, if you can jockey for a good position.

However, fighting the crowd for the perfect photo of a good looking model was difficult. Many of the models on hand, such as Ursula Mayes and Sasha Singleton, are world famous, while others tried to make a name for themselves. Our trusty purple media wristband let us bypass most of the craziness.

XM Radio Dancer

XM Radio was one of the main sponsors of the San Mateo Hot Import Nights, so it would make sense for them to have a huge booth with great looking booth babes. Several of the XM booth babes even danced on stage, tossing out expensive prizes such as Delphi MiFi receivers.

Conclusion

The show ended at midnight at which time hundreds of souped up cars roared away from the San Mateo Expo Center. Motorcycle mounted police officers from the San Mateo Police Department, manned the exit points, not to give tickets for illegal modifications, but to ensure the safety of all attendees.

Sadly for us, Hot Import Nights will be leaving California for a few months, and the next show will be in Houston Texas. When HIN returns to California in July, you can bet that we will cover it. For people interested in cars, car-modding and women, Hot Import Nights is a must see event.
