On January 28th, 2023 at Irwindale Speedway we had the MOONEYES USA 2nd New Year’s Party. We really appreciate everyone’s great support to hold this event and enjoy the time together.
For this event, many people participated, and there were over 1,000 Show Cars, more than 100 Race cars, and more. We also had more than 60 vendors, and over 9,000 spectators came to this event.
The event starts really early in the morning during the border of the night and morning. Before the sun rise many cars started to line up outside to enter the venue.
When the sun rises the event started.
At the MOONEYES booth, everyone was lined up to get the limited t-shirt for this event. For the event there were t-shirt, poster and the metal sign which features the poster design of this event which was designed by the MOONEYES pinstriper Wildman. From all day long MOONEYES booth, and the MOONEYES Trailer with MOONEYES T-shirts, were crowded with the MOONEYES Fans getting the things they want.
Beside the MOONEYES booth, we had Pinstriper “Michi-NATQQ”, whose master is Wildman, taking pinstripe orders at the place. In the morning people came to order him a pinstripe for the things they brought, and people were watching him doing the pinstripe. There were times of NatQQ asked for an autograph. As a result, he completed all the orders in time and enjoyed his first business trip to the USA as a Pintriper.
