History
Xcceleratehi.com was officially launched Spring of 2004 as an internet based information site offering a link for Hawaii's automotive enthusiasts. Our concept was to provide information on events that relate to car events in Hawaii. You may have been familiar with our previous incarnation known as Exceed Hawaii or HR2 (Hawaii Radical Rides) . It was a simple forum website with pics and information about cars and car shows in Hawaii. In 2005, our company was purchased by Itliong Enterprises LLC, and the new owner decided to change the whole perspective of the company. Hence, the company Xccelerate Hawaii was born. With the new name our focus shifted from a simple forum website to this new format.
When our company first came out as Exceed Hawaii AKA HR2 we had a membership of 325 members, mostly mainland and foreign based. Of the 325 members only 15 were local members of Hawaii. Our present owner changed our focus from merely an information site to a link for all motor events here in Hawaii. As you can see in our new website, we focus on all activities related to Hawaii's car enthusiast scene. From car clubs to car shows and events, Xccelerate Hawaii has take our company farther than we could have imagined on our own.
In September of 2005, Xccelerate Hawaii launched its first 8x11 full color glossy magazine in Hawaii. With its new affiliate, Magz Production, the response from the automotive community has been very supportive. Now in 53 locations in Oahu, 10 in Maui, and 5 on the Big Island, the magazine's popularity has grown exponentially in the past few months.
In 2006, our magazine shifted into a full service media organization. Offering our clients a new media to advertise and promote their business. Our "working together" theme has helped many businesses thrive in the Hawaii Market.
