- What makes Jade Motorsports so special ?
“If HIN ever starts classifying show teams as professional or amateur, The Jade Crew would be the professionals.”
–Ben Duen writer for Import Tuner Magazine
Founded in 1997, Jade Motorsports' list of achievements
are extraordinary. Attached is a detailed resume / timeline
of our accomplishments throughout the years.
We have taken home 13 best crew awards in a row in
two seasons including the coveted HIN Best Crew awards
winning back to back to back in MULTIPLE STATES. If
you take a look at our 10 year history, Jade is arguably
the single most “winningest” crew in Import Car Show
history.
- Internationally Known
When you do something that you love and you do it very
well, people tend to start noticing. Recently,
we have acquired massive media exposure and to our credit,
Jade had ELEVEN features in various national and international
magazines in 2005 alone including publications in Japan
. In addition to the print media, we have been featured
on Speedvision, Car Crazy, a number of DVD movies, and
have worked with John Singleton and Universal Pictures
on the motion picture, "2 Fast 2 Furious" in having
our cars featured in the film and displayed at the premiere.
- For us, this isn't just a hobby--it's a lifestyle .
We believe the main attribute that makes us so unique is that we are all true friends who share the same passion. The original members have been friends/brothers for over a decade. We are not just a group of people who met at a car show or talked in a website forum and decided to become a team. We are a family who has outlasted practically any crew in the scene's history and have successfully stayed on top, forever evolving to meet the demands of the ever changing scene.
-" No one's done it longer, no one's done it stronger, and no one's been more successful ."
Check out our resume, ask most major movers and shakers
in the Import Scene if they've heard of us, go through
the massive archives of dozens of magazines, newspapers,
DVDs, and webzine features done on Jade throughout the
years, do a search on the internet, look at which multi-million
dollar companies puts their money and trust in us and
you'll have an idea of how serious we are about this
mode of transportation called the, “automobile”.
As a crew over the years, we've invested OVER $TWO MILLION$ of our own dollars (no, that's not a typo) into 40+ project cars that have come out of our garages snapping heads in the import scene.
- What's next for Jade ?
From the very beginning when were a bunch of snot-nosed
kids doing parking lot car shows, we've always supported
and will continue to support/promote the ever growing
industry and the scene it nurtures. But over the last
few years, Jade has started to become much more involved
on the other side of the industry. Jade members have
been used as consultants and advisors for major corporations,
some are involved in retail stores like Racing Zone
Autohouse, others have positions in companies like Mackin,
Volk Racing, Valvoline, and some are even part of the
media covering the scene. What's in store for Jade in
2007 and beyond? Look for a major revision on the Jade
website, expect to see a number of fresh new Jade project
cars, keep your eyes peeled for a potential interview
on Discovery Channel, don't be surprised to see a Jade
drift car tearing up the circuit, and look forward to
something BIG for Jade's 10 year anniversary in 2007.
You should know by now we don't play around. Want more details? Stay tuned and happy modding.
