The Hoover Dam’s scenic backdrop made for great pictures.
Attendees enjoyed the afternoon at the Dam, as the sun settled, they would head back to Las Vegas for the evening's festivities.

That evening would provide a calm setting for many of the car owners to take over the Vegas strip and cruise out for some great night photo shoots with SIV official photographer, Doug Tahuite.

Friday morning in Las Vegas is not too noisy, as many start their days later in Vegas. At 9am the roar of the Supras began, as the group rallied to All Access Tuning for the annual SIV Dyno Challenge, sponsored by Virtual Works Racing and Cody Phillips Racing.

Each entrant to the Dyno Challenge was allowed two power pulls. Sometimes a couple of people in the trunk can help make 20 more horses.

All Access Tuning would start the long day of competition early. Owner Devin LeBlanc would supervise 28 Supras on his rollers throughout the day. Lunch was served around noon by Pappa Naps BBQ and the challenge continued. At the end of the day 7 Supras would be over 800 wheel horsepower, 3 from Arizona, 3 from California, and one from Nevada. All 7 of these cars drove the scenic drive and would participate in all events. The winner would be Mike Carwin from San Diego, with a 977 horsepower pull.
