When it comes to the international auto shows, the "cars and girls" topic has been loosing grip over the last few years. Whether we're talking about US or European car shows, the girls seem to be getting fewer and perhaps less enthusiastic by the year.
Given this, we were curious how such matters are treated at the smaller automotive events. We now have a fresh answer to that question, coming from the recent World Cup Finals Import vs Domestic event.
This took place at the Maryland International Raceway, on November 7-9, being the 19th edition and gathering a crowd of over 20,000 people. Aside from the obvious drag racing and car show parts, the World Cup Finals Import vs Domestic also included a bikini contest. This was held by Jessica Barton, who's a model, actress and racecar driver.
The footage below brings us the atmosphere from the scarcely-dressed competition - interestingly enough, there seems to be quite an important difference in attitude between the participating girls. By the way, this was not an open contest, so the girls knew what they were getting into when they registered.
We have to mention that the outside temperature wasn't exactly ideal for showing up in bikinis, but this didn't stop the participants from walking proudly on stage.
Returning to the major shows, if you want to see a truly fruitful mix between girls and motorized creatures, you can always visit the EICMA show in Milan, Italy, one of the greatest motorcycling events on the map.
This would involve making plans for fall 2015, as this year's edition is already over. Nevertheless, you can always turn to our ECIMA 2014 coverage. Of course, this includes a bikes and girls gallery with about 300 images.
In his quest to bring you the most impressive automotive creations, Andrei relies on learning as a superpower. There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
