Auto Xplozion 2004, the car show slated for July 11, promises to be the most extravagant automotive show ever staged in St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG).
That’s according to members of the Import Dreams Auto Club (IDAC), the hosts of the show.{{more}}
The event, which will be held at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce Car Park on Bay Street, will feature some unique and impressive automobiles found in SVG, as well as a wide range of automotive products and services. Two founding members of IDAC, Alicia Sardine Browne and Harley Cambridge, explained that the group hopes to make the first ever event an annual one.
According to Sardine-Browne, the cars, which will be on display at the show, will be pre-judged, as there would not be enough space at the car park to hold the numerous entries.
Vehicles will be judged in four categories: cars, vans, sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and motorcycles. Each category will have a first-, second- and third-place winner with the first-place winner competing to decide the overall winner and best automobile in SVG.
Also aiding in the preparation for the show is Nick Harrison who has experience in producing regional shows in Barbados, St. Lucia and Trinidad. IDAC is hoping to receive sponsorship from a number of business places in Kingstown and abroad. The show is expected to cost around EC$26,500 to produce.
