WEKFEST 2011

Oh man what a weekend... the whole thing was one big disaster. nothing was working out right we drove round trip about 1500 miles to get there. there was tons of rain and snow and ice through the TEJON pass aka grapevine. flipped over cars mass chaos and that was with in the first hour of our trip. once we got there we got some good parking. and walked down the hill to check out the area. where the show was being held at and it was all looking good. we decided to go eat. BIG MISTAKE we lost the good parking spot and  when we returned to the stairs to walk down to where the meet was at. and there was almost 15 million people in a line that stretched almost down to southern california. we maybe not that bad but it was a 2-3 hour wait to get in to it. and once you got in there was just wall to wall people.the battery in my camera was not charged so i had to walk to a starbucks and charge it for 2 hours while my frineds waited in line. very difficult to get shots of cars. as you can see from the pictures below... but all in all had fun saw the sickest cars out right now, and got to go to SAN FRAN.


below is more then 300 photos of almost every car there, ENJOY. here are a few teasers...

again i cant stress enough how hard it was to get good photos anyone that was there knows what i mean, it was so chaotic in there. but i tried my best. here is what there is
