High School Tuner Show Cruises to Success!

Date: October 29, 2005
Location: Alonso High School - Tampa, FL

Alonso High School kicked into gear on October 29 with an awesome tuner show (a car show for really hot cars) sponsored jointly by Tampa CARS (Cops Against Racing on Streets) and Safe Teen Driver. The show thrilled and entertained hundreds of visitors with more than 30 participating vehicles and some special exhibit cars. Trophies were awarded to the winners in several categories (paint, graphics, interior, engine and best of show), and entries were judged by the high school competitors themselves – a great twist that added to the fun.

CARS and Safe Teen Driver are working with Hillsborough County high schools to coordinate tuner shows with the goal of educating young drivers on road safety. While showing off their rides and having a blast, these young drivers are also learning how to have fun in their cool cars without endangering themselves or others.

Competition for the best tuner show among Tampa high schools is heating up, with the word on the street indicating that the next show at Jefferson High School on December 10 will be bigger and better. Check back to the Safe Teen Driver site for more details!
