Wide rims, stretched tires, slammed cars… Thats the name of the game. Hella Flush held a very organized meet at BlackTrax performance today in Milpitas. I joined Jimmy Uy, a friend and a customer of The Shop, this morning for roll in and staging. Before the meet even begun, the forecast was extremely gloomy. As staging continued through the rain, the South Bay weather prevailed and we were left with a nice sunny show and some awesome lighting for pictures. A wide variety of cars were in attendance, from VDubs to toyota’s and old school Datsun’s to an LS1 powered GS. I asked Jimmy, “Don’t you worry about scraping?” and he answered, “I don’t worry about scraping, I just scrape”. It is always heart wrenching to watch these people go up a driveway, shoot, I worried about my car scraping and I am inches above all of the other cars there. This car lifestyle is all about doing more than the other guy and every show the standard is raised higher and higher. Though I did leave early, there were more cars parking, providing more eye candy for attendees. Visit the Gallery for higher res pics, or flip through the album below…

10th Annual Freakmont meet
by C.Castro · Filed Under: EventsThe Shop was a vendor at the 10th Annual Freakmont meet at Lemans Karting in Fremont. I believe at the raffle Matt gave out 3 oil changes and 1 alignment. Nice day, free food, and PICTURES. The meet was of moderate size and Lemans was doing some cheap rates for racing. Matthel’s show stopping FD was out doing its job, promoting The Shop, along with Matt’s Z32, Maxima, and Jeff’s S2K. An friend of mine was also a vendor, photoshootmycar.com, doing his thing. He brought out the New 370Z (this thing is awesome in person), R33 GTR and he Matrix… Enjoyas always more pics on my FlikrClick pics for Larger image -
Memorial Day Drag Racing
by C.Castro · Filed Under: EventsThe Shop crew went over to Infineon for some drag racing. Matt, Lawton and Roni were running there cars. Jermz and Rob tagged along and Jeff, Jieun, and Lewis met us up. On the way to the track Roni got pulled over. CHP got him for lowered vehicle, modified exhaust and intake, unreadable front plate, and expired tags… J/K he only got the exhaust ticket, he was nice enough to let us go with warning for speeding. First runs were not so great, Lawton ran a 15.4, Roni stalled and ran a 18.7 ( video is available ), and Matt was stuck in the 12.1 range. Roni finally broke into the 14’s, lawton is still a tenth or two faster, and Matt should be hitting low 11’s…ENJOY!!!Roni and his all time worst launch and 1/4 mile time…as always more photos are at www.flickr.com/photos/c2photos/and Lawton in his “clean looking” EGI have another video being uploaded as we speak…Ciao!!
