IRVINE, Calif.--DC Shoes and Action Pursuit Group, producers of Hot Import Nights (HIN) and HINCity, gave one car enthusiast the ultimate drive all day party all night prize package. Dave Senders won DC Shoes custom Gumball 3000 Subaru WRX STi, which was driven by pro-skateboarder Rob Dyrdek in the infamous European race. In addition, Senders won VIP treatment for the ultimate party scene at all 2007 HIN shows.

Senders is now the proud owner of the $65,000 DC Shoes Subaru STi, a street/daily-driver version of their competition rally cars that features unique camouflage graphics wrapped with custom DC Shoes logos, an on-board GPS, TV screens, DVD players, custom iPod cradles and built-in coolers in the dash. A stock Subaru WRX STi puts out 300hp; Senders new DC Shoes Subaru now puts out 425 hp and has reached speeds of 180 mph.

In addition to the vehicle, Senders won free admission for himself and a guest to every HIN event and pre and after-party, backstage passes and VIP access to every HIN concert, plus the opportunity to be a guest judge in the Queen of the Scene search for Miss HIN 2008 as part of his VIP package from HIN.

It was an excellent opportunity for us to partner with HIN in this STi giveaway, said Ken Block, DC Shoes, Chief Brand Officer and Co-Founder. This car has such a unique history with its modifications and participation in the Gumball rally, that we were happy when the car was won by someone who truly appreciates it.
