10 years ago last week was the very first Import Face-Off in South Louisiana. We never imagined IFO would grow into the national tour it has become today. THANK YOU to all the race and show fans, sponsors, and media outlets for the overwhelming support! Because of you, NOS Energy Drink’s IMPORT FACE-OFF tour has been able to provide the nation with a place to compete.
