Hi Kevin

It's ok mate I had to check as well.Hard parking is when you show off a race prepped (and actually tracked) car at a car show or meet. You're car is "hard" (hardcore race prepped), but it's "parked" instead of being seen on the track actually serving its purpose. The better track prepped/more hardcore the car, the "harder" the parking. It is a tongue in cheek term, too, with a very slight negative connotation to it (since the car isn't being used for its purpose).
Some have taken the term and bastardized it by applying it to cars that have never seen track time. In this case, they're actually "softparking"...but try to call it hardparking to gain the credence of a tracked car. It's the kind of word that has been seen in the past when the JDM craze first started .

Bit of a park up ,meet up ,trade displays,show and shine type thing .

Car club displays

Food,Music pretty good atmosphere

Cheers

Or another way to look at it is, it's a bunch of young car photographers looking to become the next 4's n Rotas type thing... And make a good deal of money. Good on 'em if it works out. A lot of others will enjoy the ride too no doubt. :)

On another note:
