My brother and I went to the first iteration of Honda Fest and Happy Stance present: The Gathering on April 21st 2013 in Lawrence, MA. It was from 12-4 pm. The this the third time I’ve been to Lawrence for a meet and it was a pretty awesome turn out. Needless to say there were a lot of Hondas but they were all different in terms of styling and very clean. There were a lot of other nice cars too. The meet was off Broadway St. and in this sort of secluded area between a bunch of buildings. It was really neat. That and there was a canal on the other side of the parking lot next to the park and playground area. There are a few pretty cool shots of that I got. It was a pretty chill atmosphere but the only issue was the obnoxious loud music that sometimes happens at these events. That sort of thing is a bit disorienting and is a bit annoying in my opinion. Everyone has their thing though.

May Flowers

So I decided to take a break from editing cars for a bit. I walked out in the woods behind my house yesterday morning and took some shots of the flowers I could see from my kitchen window. It had just rained so I tried to capture the raindrops. I thought it was neat. Pretty random huh? Well, I like random. Hope you enjoy!

After “The Lake” we went back to the pizza place that we all started off at to see how the traffic was and to see if we could into Honda Day. Nope. So I hung out at Sally Starrs for a while to get a bunch of rolling shots, shots of various cars pulling in and out of the parking lot and some lunch. However much of a deviation the day ended up being from the original plan it turned out to be a great adventure.

“Honda Day” Sort of… Part 1 “The Lake”

Honda Day 2K13 was April 13th-14th 2013 at ATCO Raceway in Atco, NJ. I left Mass. at just after 6 a.m. and ready for my ~5 hour drive on Sunday the 14th and getting to the designated parking area only to find out it was overcapacity at ~11:30 a.m. Which means I couldn’t get in, after a 5+ hour drive. I thought to myself, “This sucks, now what?” So I drive down the street until I come to a pizza place and I pull in. While I contemplate what to do next a bunch of other people that also couldn’t get in to the show pull in. I talk to various people as they also do the same. And then I come across a group of people that say they know a good spot about 10 minutes down the road to take some pictures. And that it was. It was a nearby lake. I came all this way to shoot Honda’s and that’s just what happened. The pictures that follow are the adventures at ‘the lake’.

The Frank Maratta Auto Show and Race-A-Rama was at the Eastern States Exposition on March 2 & 3rd 2013. As anyone who has ever been to the Eastern Expo, it’s  pretty big place. It was only in one of the buildings on the grounds but it was a fairly decent size show at that. The show was sponsored by Town Fair Tire and they had a good size booth accordingly. I, once again, made it to the Sunday portion of the two day event because I had to work on Saturday. I spent a few hours there and met some pretty cool people. Coverage below:

Field Werks 2012

A friend of mine had told me about a show that was happening on October 21st 2012 at the Elks Lodge in Ludlow, Ma. I wasn’t really sure what to expect because normally the crowd that shows up there is for cruise nights in the summer on Tuesdays. They are more likely to be like Tune by Tuna or the Orange Dragstrip Reunion type rather than, let’s say, Wekfest. A little while later I heard that this might be run by some Volkswagen kids. I thought to myself, this could get interesting. I showed up a little after 9 a.m. when it was scheduled to start and the place just filled up from there. I got a goody bag with a little green piece of paper to enter for awards later and entrance into the show for a donation.

If you’ve ever been to the Elks Lodge, it’s a pretty big place. It’s got a decent amount of parking next to the “Lodge” then a sprawling field in the back, as well as a pavilion that can fit quite a few people. It was ALL full as it neared the afternoon. There weren’t just VW’s or even just German cars. It was a whole lot of different cars. Drift Faction and a group called Bosstown showed up to represent the drift scene. It went from stanced to bagged to whatever anyone brought. I even brought my car this time. Haha.

There was all sorts of interesting stuff going on. Burgers, dogs and beer at the pavilion (Until they ran out of food. Haha.), people riding around stanced bikes, which I later found out they were raffling off, music was going on in the background and later on the awards ceremony for various categories.

Some of the static cars look like it was a bit scary getting on the grass, quite a lot of scraping it might seem. One of the 240’s even busted their front bumper. Dedication.

Overall it was a great event and I hope to see it happen next year, even though someone decided it was best to do something stupid as they left. (Burnout.) I definitely enjoyed talking to everyone that I did.

Import Evolution

Import Evolution happened quite some time ago back on September 9th 2012 at the DCU Center in Worcester, Ma. I was first in line as I got there a bit earlier than 11:30 a.m. when it was supposed to start. It ended up being closer to 1 p.m. when things got on because there were a few cars running late that they didn’t want to start without. What I didn’t know, until later, was I could had my car in the show also. It was,  if only for the fact, that the price of parking plus the cost of the ticket would have equaled the price of the entrance fee. Too bad, next time.

Anyway, I did get some good shots from the outside while I was waiting and parked next to some pretty cool cars as well. You’ll also notice that most of the outside shots and ones closer to the door, with better lighting, came out a bit better. It was kind of funky lighting in there and I was arguing with my camera a lot. Haha.

Enough of the negative. It really was an awesome day! Aside from the all the awesome cars that were already at the show, I got to meet and hang out with some really awesome people. Yum Yums from her blog/ website BoostandBoobs.com had set up an awesome booth with pictures of models plastered all over it, a couch, a cotton candy machine and a whole lot of candy. For which, to her great surprise, later got a trophy for being the first blog/ website to ever have a booth at Import Evolution. The guys from PHENOMenal Vinyl were there doing a live demo on one of their cars. (Unfortunately both their cars got damaged in Hurricane Sandy. Best of luck to them and everyone else who is still dealing with all of the aftermath.) Jeffry from Fresh2DeathRI was there. And of course BoostandBoobs model Miss Aubrey Nicole being stunning and a really cool person to talk to. I also met up with a few other people that I met at Tune by Tuna earlier in the summer and got some more shots of their cars. If you don’t know any of these people, you must  Like them on Facebook Immediately!

HUGE THANKS to everyone that I got to hang out with and meet, especially Yum Yums and Aubrey Nicole! Also, be sure to check out the rest of the coverage on my “new” Flickr account (which I’ve haven’t used since 2007 or updated to Pro until now). And check out Girls of Import Evolution for some more fun! Thanks everyone and hope you’re enjoying the New Year!

Orange Dragstrip Reunion

The Orange Dragstrip Reunion took place on September 8th 2012 at the Fitchburg Airport in Fitchburg, Ma. The interesting part about this event was the fact that it was not only a car show but a drag race as well. An 1/8 mile dragstrip was made from one of the runways of the airport. Different classes were competing all day, from Muscle to Stock to Modified and just outright purpose built dragsters. The resident sights and sounds of the day were various old cars blasting down the track as fast as they can, engines revving with no to little exhaust and lots of tire smoke and burnouts. If you’re a fan of muscle cars or just old cars in general this is something to check out in the future.

In regards to the pictures that are kind of gritty, it’s more than likely that those are the ones I took with my phone. My camera batteries die a lot. Haha. I decided to leave them anyway because even though they’re not the best quality they have almost a nostalgic feel to them. They have the texture of some pictures you might see when the majority of these cars made their debut. In light of that I hope you enjoy! Also, hopefully I can get a video up soon.

30th Anniversary Historic Festival

The 30th Anniversary Historic Festival took place all weekend at Limerock Park in Lakeville, CT but I was only able to make it to the car show portion on Sunday September 2nd 2012. There was also historic racing on the track the next day but I was also unable to watch that as well. I did get some shots of the cars being prepped for the next day though. What I did get to experience were over 2000 cars from all different makes, models, styles and countries lining the entire track! Some cars were completely stock, some were heavily modified and others were just outright race cars. This was the 30th incarnation of a 1 day museum for thousands of different cars that wouldn’t otherwise be together anywhere else. Where else would you get to see American, European, Japanese, etc. all in one place, at the same time and from all different eras? What better a place to see the progression of the automobile and how it has become an obsession among enthusiasts, collectors and motorsport? How else would you get to see race cars from the last century door to door with each other short of a museum? This, I will say, was an experience. Strangely, I’ve been an automotive enthusiast for some time and there were a lot of cars I didn’t even know existed. Some cars I had never seen before other than in photographs, on the internet or television because of their price or rarity. Check it out and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
