iM Event Coverage: Revwerks Track Day IV

Revwerks has become a regular name at the track these past couple of years. Booking up track-days month after month. This time with a wider mix of cars and even a supercar making an appearance it was a track day to remember!

Even though the usual crowd was out enjoying the sun and track, there was another crowd who brought out their brand new BMW’s and Audi’s to put them to test. It was definitely a sight to see and we hope to see those guys out there at the next one which is scheduled for August 18th. Make sure you come out as spectating is always free!

As winter closes in and Race City imminently closing down, these Revwerks track-days maybe your last chance to enjoy some time behind the wheel or hear the sound of engines rumbling down the straight.

And as usual the parking lot is full of nice cars just begging to be tracked!

iM Event Coverage: StatusOne x DriftSquad Slideways Fridays

Just want to start off by giving a shoutout to both StatusOne Autoworks and Driftsquad for putting on a great event! Even though the weather was windy and rainy at times the guys still went out there and showed off their skills!

This was the first time heading out to one of their events and it was awesome to meet some of the drifters who we don’t regularly meet at other events. It was also great to enjoy some good music while shooting so props to the DJ that came out!

Looking forward to the next one on August 5th(Postponed until further notice. Stay tuned to StatusOne’s Facebook page for details)! Come check it out!

iM Event Coverage: DTP Vancouver July 16, 2011 –…

We aren’t done yet. We all have our own perspective on the show and so we’ll just keep posting until we’ve exhausted our supply. It never hurts to see more pictures 😀

My favourite booth of the night – I swear I was in J’s Racing/Voltex heaven. I think I have GT wing fever.

Onto the pics!

iM Event Coverage: DTP Vancouver July 16, 2011 –…

The illmotion Dudes headed out to Vancouver, BC on July 16, 2011 at the Rocky Mountaineer Station to attend the DTP Auto Show presented by Yokohama Tires. The caliber of cars that were present at the show (and the parking lot) just left everybody from the crew speechless. Vancouver’s scene brought everything to the table from highly modified sport compacts and even a few modified luxury vehicles.

Aside from the rain, the Vancouver DTP Auto Show was unlike anything we’ve seen in Calgary and it was good to see how other car enthusiasts in Canada are reppin’ for their city. The rain didn’t stop anyone from attending the show and it was definitely nice seeing some familiar faces and meeting new ones!

Congratulations going out to illmotion’s very own Punit Patel for winning 2nd Place Best Acura. Also a huge shout out and congratulations going out to Chris Gudzowsky (Best Classic Showoff), Michael Kwan (Best Stance Showoff) and James Ditchfield (Best Subaru) on their awards as well.

With illmotion going home with 4 awards and an amazing modified car representation from Vancouver, the DTP Auto Show was definitely worth the trip!

A huge thanks to all of you who came out to the show and much appreciation and thanks to those who attended the DTP show to rep alongside with us! The drive to and from was a blast! (Stay tuned for Random Shots of the trip)

On to part one of the show pics!

Part 2 & 3 coming soon!

iM Event Coverage: GarageBox Auto Innovations – Track Day…

Good weather prevailed unlike the last rainy GarageBox track day, so everyone was in good spirits at Race City on Saturday evening, July 2nd. It was good to see a lot of people out, and lots of cars out. Couple that with some good BBQ that the GarageBox crew were serving up, and it makes for a hell of a fun track day. Look out for the third installment of their track day to be announced soon.

We were out shooting lots of pics, so we’ll get right to it.

Paul and crew serving a good ass BBQ!

Start ’em young!

And of course we can’t miss all the crazy cars in the lot.

iM Event Coverage: Secret Street & Drift Demo

A few pics from secret street drag racing and drift demo a week ago. The skill of the drifters has grown a lot since the last time I made it out, good show guys!

iM Event Coverage: WSC Supermeet 2011 – June 25,…

The Western Subaru Club held their Supermeet this weekend at Vex Performance’s new location in Calgary. We decided to roll up considering that two of our members own Subarus, and my brother tagged along in his STI. There were a huge range of Subarus there, along with some other cars as well. Lots to look at, lots of people to talk to. Unfortunately due to prior engagements, we were not able to stay that long, so we missed out on others that came later on in the day, but we got a lot of pictures while we were there.

We also got a chance to meet Johnny Summers (driver, and owner) of Vex, and we had a great conversation about what he does, cars in general, and future plans. I can say that he is a very nice gentleman to talk to and very down to earth, with major beliefs on the shops tuning philosophies. We also spoke about the possibility of doing a shop spotlight on Vex when they’ve had a bit more time to get set up with more equipment and parts after getting rid of a bunch of stuff before their move from Red Deer. Look forward to that coming up in the future.

Special thanks goes out to Vex Performance, and the WSC for setting up this meet.

iM Event Coverage: Marcy’s Army @ The 2011 Underwear…

You may remember the release of our “Oil Slick” decals a few months back with 100% of the proceeds going to Marcy’s Army and their efforts to beat cancer at this year’s 2011 Underwear Affair. Because of your support the “Oil Slick” decals sold quick and we donated $150.00 to Marcy’s Army member Scott Pearson.

One of the perks of donating to Scott was being able to dress him up in whatever the crew here at illmotion pleased. With help from Marcy’s Army Captain Teddy Lopez we decided to make him do the 10k run in a banana suit modified by yours truly.

Prashant and I decided to take some snaps before the run to support our Marcy’s Army homies. Scott’s banana suit also ended up 2nd place for best costume at the Underwear Affair!

We want to take this opportunity to congratulate Marcy’s Army on finishing the 10k Run in a little over an hour, as well as raising over $6000 with proceeds going to Cancer research and care for patients at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre and throughout Alberta.

Awesome job guys!

iM Event Coverage: Revwerks Track Day II

Another track day and another good turn out! Revwerks has been a great addition to Calgary’s car scene holding as many track days as possible, this one being the second of the year.

Even though it was a Monday there was a bunch of different cars out on the track although the Mitsubishi’s came out in the biggest numbers.

Unfortunately my time was short there so I didn’t get a chance to get everyone that tore it up but there was some impressive machines on the track.

Now onto the pics!

DriftSquad checking in.

Spectators, lots of people coming and going and saw this on the way out.

More pics can be found HERE. Sorry if I missed you out on the track!
