Peering down from the 14th floor of the hotel, you can just see the car show that is Import Reactor. The top floor is visible is just a one third of the actual car show. The show continues down two more floors! But, as you make you way to the car show in the parking garage, you pass through the hotel's valet parking which is filled with a plethora

A weekend long Anime convention coupled with a weekend long car show. What a brilliant idea. Who would've thought that the idea would actually work, and work well? This is definitely NOT an import car, but anything this slammed gets the thumbs up in my book! Not a fan of the visual aesthetics of this Supra, but I'm damn sure that this car would

As we wrap up this month, it's rather ironic that I bring to you this final part of my 12 Hours of Sebring coverage with photos of a setting Florida sun. The whole spectacle of this 12 hour race completely caught me by surprise. I woke in the predawn hours thinking of the long day that was ahead of me. In the blink of an eye, I was standing at Turn

The majority 12 hours of Sebring non-racing experience comprises of witnessing a lot of nutters camping at various corners throughout the track and claiming that spot as theirs. There are the well known Turn 10 party people which party like it was 1999 all over again.... for 2 days straight. Many other parties reside at all the corners. But for the

The bad thing about starting a twelve hour race at 10:30 in the morning is the food coma induced lull that blankets the whole circuit after 1pm. The top tier racing teams are fed well. How about some slow roasted barbeque catered in the pit lane, with mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and many other southern delicacies? Southern sweet tea? How about

Dawn is a truly magical time of the day. I've seen a lot of sunrises in my time. So it is safe to say that no two sunrises are ever the same. The sun has risen over the same horizon for the past few billions of years, but we sapient creatures have created in our minds that each one is beautiful in its own way. Factors like where you are, what you're

The standing mile is fast becoming the next to-do thing in the automotive world. Anyone with a car (or motorcycle) can drive out to these events and open up their cars to speeds they would normally never be able to experience. The West Coast of America never played host to such an event --until now. The Mojave Mile is the first, of what would be many

In the previous blog post about the Hellaflush 3.5 event, I mentioned how this event is more so of an automotive festival than a mere car showcase. Think of it like Japan's Nismo Festival , or the Mooneyes Xmas Show in the United States. It's a celebration of all things automotive. Throughout the event at the Buttonwillow racetrack, there were

Buttonwillow racetrack is a good three hours to the two major metropolitan areas in the state of California. It literally is in the middle of no where; the only things around the track are farms, cows, farms, and more cows! Knowing that, it's quite a sight to see such a crowd at a racetrack so far away from anything. Hellaflush 3.5 was held at that

As enthusiasts, we personify cars as much as we can. Some of us give our cars names. A great many of us lust after cars like we would lust after a beautiful woman. We some all somehow make an emotional connection to these lumps of steel, aluminum, plastic and rubber as we would a best friend or even a lover. Certain cars make us laugh, others are serious
