iM Event Coverage: Revwerks Presents: Year-End Track Day Bash…

On Saturday September 24th, 2011 Revwerks (in collaboration with Garage Box & Vinyl Appeal) held their Year-End Track Day Bash at Race City in Calgary. Not only was this the final Track Day to end the season, it was also the absolute FINAL track day for all of us at Race City, as they close their gates for good once the winter season is in full effect.

The weather definitely cooperated with the last track day ever at Race City as drivers and spectators got to kick it under the blazing sun. With a nice little showing of fresh & clean whips at the paddock, beats from DJ Impuls, BBQ’d burgers, cool refreshments and the sound of cars just ripping it down the front and back straights, this was definitely a good way to properly say farewell to Race City.

Shouts out to the Revwerks Team as well as Garage Box & Vinyl Appeal for putting on a great Track Day season finale! Without the efforts of these guys over this past racing season, none of us would’ve had the opportunity to take our cars out, develop our driving skills and put our parts to good use!

Looks like we’ll have to stay tuned next season as Revwerks does in fact have something planned for everyone in the new year! So definitely be on the lookout for that!

On to our coverage…

Acura

iM Highlight: Sam’s Acura NSX

The Acura NSX, a car almost every enthusiast dreams of having. Sam, lucky enough to find one and purchase it was happy to hear we wanted to shoot it. After seeing it once or twice throughout the summer we thought we would share the eye candy with everyone else before it goes back into hiding for the upcoming fall/winter season.

Although stock in almost every sense this car is beautiful in every way. With a subtle lowering and fitted with the infamous Volk TE-37s the NSX puts on a stance that’s sure to intimidate.

On to some more pics to showcase what a driving machine really is.

iM Highlight: Reggie’s 2007 BMW E92 328xi

Here is another Euro that has been in the works for some time. Some of you may remember Reggie’s Integra Feature from last year and wonder what he drove when that was torn apart. Well this BMW is the car that he used and as you can see there was no messing around here either.

Outfitted all around with an AC Schnitzer kit and misc. pieces to match the aggressiveness, Reggie pulled off what you see here.

Having owned the car since 2007 it has seen it’s ups and downs and a fair share of bumps and bruises but with a keen eye and attention to detail, Reggie has kept it clean with simplicity. And clearly we aren’t the only ones that thought so, Reggie and his BMW won best Euro at DTP Edmonton in 2008, Best in Class at World of Wheels, 2nd Best in DTP Calgary in 2009, and Best in Class at Euroquake. With a rap sheet like that it’s no wonder keep striving to bring out more and more with each build!

iM Event Coverage: Quarry Park & Polish 2011

On Sunday, September 11th 2011, the illmotion crew got the whips shined up and ready to show at MADD Canada‘s “Quarry Park & Polish 2011” auto show event. AMEC, Quarry Park, & Cardel Homes hosted the event to provide more awareness of impaired driving by supporting MADD Canada and the many victims affected by driving under the influence.

With awesome weather (for most of the show anyways) the event brought a very eclectic group of makes and models. Everything from hot rods & classics, domestics, imports, one-off custom builds and even an awesome display of luxury & exotic vehicles were on hand to support MADD Canada and their efforts.

What the crew loves most about this show is appreciation everybody has for each other’s vehicles but more importantly, the impact a community can make on making people aware of impaired driving and it’s consequences.

Shout out to AMEC, Quarry Park, & Cardel Homes for hosting an amazing gathering of vehicles and supporting a great cause, MADD Canada. We cannot wait until next year to kick it with some friends and familiar faces, and of course meeting some new ones.

Check out some pics from the event:

Couple of us hit up the track last Wednesday night to check out Revwerks latest track day in an effort to take advantage of the nice weather we’ve been getting as of late. Not to mention the remaining weeks/days the tracks going to be open for are quickly coming to an end.

Lots of the usual suspects ripping up the track and a few newcomers, couple pics below.

iM Event Coverage: GarageBox Track Day 4 – September…

With the season nearing the end, and with the impending coming of cooler weather, we were happy to have such an awesome warm day for the final GarageBox Track Day of the year and possible last at Race City. It was quite a busy day with a lot of cars out on the track, including a few owned/driven by our very own team members.

I tried to get everything that I could, but a bunch of pics didn’t turn out unfortunately, but all of them can be found here: flickr link

A special thanks goes out to Paul and the crew at GarageBox for putting on another awesome track day. Here’s hoping that there can be more!
