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!
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.
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)
Another week brings another post with pics from the weekly 403 Honda/Beyond Meet. There was a threat of rain, which stopped people from showing up, but luckily only a few drops hit us at Chinook. Hopefully the weather is better and we see everyone for the next one!
Another week, and another busy 403 Honda/Beyond Meet at Chinook Centre. Lots of cars out this week, and a bunch that don’t normally show up, so it was a good time had by all. Weather was great this week, so that helped out a lot. Here are a bunch of pics:
Even my goddaughter knows whats up with the NSX:
“Yes Kylah, its rolling on Volk TE-37s…”
Before I finish this post, I do need to address a major concern that a few of our members have noticed close to the end of the meets. If you bring any food or drink out to the meet or go inside to grab something, please pick up after yourselves. There is a lot of bottles, cups, and general garbage that gets left behind whenever the meet is done. I realize the garbage can is a little bit of a walk away, but the staff at Chinook kindly let us use the parkade to meet on Wednesdays, lets show them a little bit of respect, and at least keep the place clean. I’d hate for us to lose a spot to meet because people leave a mess.
Weather permitting, we will see you all next week!
I know its a little late, but here are some pics from last weeks 403 Honda/Beyond meet. I apologize, it wasn’t that busy last week, and I was kinda lazy/tired from work and didn’t take that many pictures, but here are a few anyways. See everyone at the next one!
With the recent end of the hockey season and finally a nice clearing for the weather, our weekly meets have resumed. It’s so sick how the turnouts lately have been quite large and people are bringing out their rides and sharing their effort. Unfortunately, it gives us more work to do to take these pics, but in the end it helps make for a unique post every week.
Lots of crazy cars this week. Let’s keep this up and bring all your friends!
Once again, we have our weekly beyond meet and it only continues to get bigger. This was my first time out this year and I have to say, it was nice to see so many legit cars coming out nowadays. Compared to last year, where we would see maybe 10-15 cars every week filling up one row, we’re getting to 4 and maybe even 5 rows some nights.
One thing I’d also like to say is that it seems that everyone has really stepped their game up over the last few seasons which is awesome to see. Nice parts, nicely kept cars, new things to see.. I think that’s what our car scene needs.
Lastly, like all of the posts we’ve had about the beyond meets.. We just want to stress that good behavior at the meets is expected. Last night was a good night for everybody minus the guys that think letting ‘er rip down the ramp is still cool. Let’s keep this up and make it a good time for everyone.
Well, I’m glad we had a more behaved crowd last Wednesday. Also, it was nice to see a few of the Beyond ballers come out, as well as a few OGs. As well, the meets are getting pretty busy, which is good to see. Hope the trend continues!
Here’s some pics from the 403 Honda/Beyond Meet from April 27, 2011. In my last meet blog entry, I re-iterated that we are privileged to be allowed to park at the Chinook Centre parkade and hang out every week, and would like everyone on their best behaviour so we can continue to be welcomed there. Unfortunately, a Beyond member decided to do just the opposite. The result: he was banned from Beyond.ca. We here at illmotion do not take this lightly either. Please behave.
