Bob’s Donuts Track Day 11.26.10

C.Castro — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 21:05:35 +0000

The Shop and its affiliates attended Bob’s Donuts’s annual track day at Buttonwillow this year as we do every year. Because of the 4 day weekend it is usually a big outing for The Shop. Matthel brought out, for the first time since the LS1 swap, his RX-7. All but 2 of our associates brought out cars. It turned out to be a nice day as long as the sun was out. Everyone that paid for track time, got a CD of images of their own cars. I personally took some of my own pictures, but not as many as I usually do. There is a video of the RX-7 on the skid pad floating around, also go ahead and “Like” The Shop facebook page and take a peek. More pics are up in our gallery and even more pics can be found @ http://CCastro.SmugMug.com.

Thunder Hill Raceway 7.7.10

C.Castro — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 23:08:09 +0000

A small private event was hosted by our friend Alex Loi for his birthday at Thunder Hill in Willows, CA. The last time I was there our friend Roni Tacuyan flipped his EK hatch after turn 1. The event turn out was good, not a lot of cars, but plenty of track time for everyone. I was posted at Turns 5 and 9 at the hills taking pictures in the morning before it got super hot out. There was 1 crash the whole day at the last turn, there is a video of it from the car behind, I will try to find it online later on. I was excited when the novice group came out to track because that is where the funny stuff happens. The novice group were spinning out, understeering, and bunching up everywhere. Our own Jimmy Uy and Matt both tracked their cars, Matt in the Crown Vic and Jimmy in his hatch (yes he tracked his little show piece). Overall it was a great, but tiring day. Pictures are now up in the gallery….

The Shop San Bruno’s Annual BBQ

C.Castro — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 17:39:25 +0000

Just to recap on yesterdays events, it was a great success. By 11AM it was about 75-80 degrees out, needless to say it was a great day for a BBQ. We had a good amount of people show up with their cars, guys from ATS and WyldKardz to name a few. The BBQ lasted into the evening until the last oysters were gone. The day was filled with cars, food, and great company. If you missed out on this BBQ, we hope to see you next year as we celebrate another year in business. Thanks to everyone that came through to make this BBQ a success, and those that had a hand in organizing and putting it together.

See pics below or in our gallery

Oh and by the way, those shop shirts that you see are for sale for $15, we have ladies sizing as well…

SPOCOM USA San Mateo recap and pics

C.Castro — Sun, 02 May 2010 05:12:16 +0000

For those that didn’t go to the SPOCOM show, you missed out on a nice show. The show wasn’t too big, it wasn’t too crowded. Definitely the ladies out numbered the cars, it usually is a given though. Some of your favorites like Christine Mendoza and Elissa Alva were in attendance. Unlike Hot Import Nights, there were no flashy lights, no rice rockets, all the cars were tasteful. If you didn’t know, there were a couple of screening events for cars to be in the show, and I know a couple of people whose cars were not chosen to be placed in the show, so the cars were hand chosen.

The day started off early, I met up with some folks before we all headed to San Mateo for set up.

Roll in for setup.

Just to show you how big the show was.

and one of my favorites Elissa Alva was there.

oh there were cars there as well
