Time Attack Motoring
After going through all the photos from Wekfest Seattle, I realize I almost have a full on coverage instead of just my favorites from the show... this is definitely out of the norm but I guess I really enjoyed this show THAT much. One of the things that I loved most about the show was... Continue Reading →
I've always thought of Seattle as this gloomy and wet city, one that I'd probably never see myself living in, but last weekend kind of changed my mind a bit. I say this because I actually did some sight-seeing and grubbing with the girlfriend who tagged along with me on this trip, and let me... Continue Reading →
I was going to shoot some detailed photos on a few cars that really caught my eyes at Wekfest SJ and have separate features on them but I couldn't get what I wanted due to the crowds. I did, however, grabbed a few photos of the System Motorsports FRS which was arguably one of my... Continue Reading →
10 years of Wekfest, a decade in motion; these words echoed all day in the San Jose McEnery Center a couple of Sundays ago and for good reason. July 1st, 2018, marked the tenth year of Wekfest "Bay Area." Although, realistically it was more like eight years since the early years were known as J's... Continue Reading →
It's almost a travesty that I haven't had any new material for the site the past couple of months but I'm looking to change all that in the latter part of the summer and through fall. In the meantime, I've been browsing through some old photos and decided that a lot of them needs some... Continue Reading →
It's been a slow couple of months for me as far as attending automotive events are concerned, so that means the site has been pretty quiet as well. I did attend a little NorCal 86 gathering about a week ago, but there wasn't enough quality cars to justify a post about it... although I did... Continue Reading →
So here we are, I've finally gone through all the photos from Japan which leads me to this post with shots from my visit to Arvou out in Tochigi Prefecture. Arvou, in my opinion, is similar to Pro Shop Fukuoh in the fact that both are out in the boonies and are not quite visiter... Continue Reading →
After visiting Pro Shop Fukuoh, I had originally decide to hop over to Kyoto to do a bit more exploring, but I realized at the last minute that I was pretty close to Suzuka, so I ended up hopping on the local train to pay a visit to the renown tuning house, Esprit. Situated within... Continue Reading →
Attack Tsukuba was the catalyst for my last visit to Japan but like with all my trips to Japan, shop visits also holds a great deal of importance. On my previous two visits, I've limited my checklist to shops surrounding the greater Tokyo area, but as I've grown accustomed to the Japanese public transportation system,... Continue Reading →
In the past year and a half or so, I've been making a checklist of car shops that I wanted to visit in Japan for every trip that I made there. Some are more well known than others but each have their unique sense of originality and aura. I've said in the past that I... Continue Reading →
For many years past, I've always gone down to Buttonwillow during November for the annual Super Lap Battle and the finale to the race season. This year, I've decided to cover as much time attack events as I physically can, so I made the decision to make the trek down for the season opener. One... Continue Reading →
I gotta be honest, it's been a long while since I've been excited to attend a North American time attack event, but there were a few cars that I was pretty eager to see compete at Buttonwillow for the GTA season opener. One of these was the Vibrant Performance, or PZ Tuning Honda Civic, or... Continue Reading →
The final post on the Attack Tsukuba event has finally arrived... I've been putting it off for seemingly an eternity because I got side tracked with other shit but the biggest culprit was my laziness. Nevertheless, it's better late than never and I finally got through the rest of the photos from the event today,... Continue Reading →
As I've mentioned on my previous posts, the Mazda RX7 FD3S has been a pretty dominant platform for time attack in Japan for many years. This year at Attack Tsukuba, the RX7 FD have yet again proven itself to be a premier time attack option by securing some of the fastest times on grid. But... Continue Reading →
Positioned closely to the Technical Auto One's FD was Radial Class competitor, Auto Gallery Yokohama R35 GTR. At first glance, the car looked like a full Varis example, but upon closer inspection, it's actually a mixture of Nismo, Auto Select,Top Secret and Varis all rolled into one beautiful package. With this aero setup, full interior,... Continue Reading →
So I was initially just going to finish up the Attack Tsukuba coverage with one more post but I realized there were still a little too much material to be grouped in a single post. Therefore, here's another car spotlight featuring the Technical Auto One's RX7. Running in the Second Class with just under 400HP,... Continue Reading →
As you can tell from Part 1, there were quite a few Hondas present during Attack Tsukuba this year, but there were also a few other makes and models that made their presence felt. One of these were the AE86 squad which had a very strong showing this year, and also the RX7 FDs were... Continue Reading →
