Wek Fest Chicago 2011 Part 2: The Show

Alrighty back with part 2 of the Wek Fest Chicago coverage.  Sorry for the lapse there, dealing with family stuff.  I promised to keep updating regularly and I'm trying hard to hold to that.  This doggy will pull through!

Saturday morning came all too quick for some of us.  While a few got up bright and early, a few of us were not so keen to wake up after a night of partying and consuming adult beverages (read:  hungover).  After Nam and Jared came banging on our hotel rooms at 9am to add to our already head-splitting migraines, we attempted to roll out of bed and get ready.   Once outside, we were greeted by chilly temps and rain...good ol' rain.  Not just a little bit of rain either...we're talking like torrential down pour.  So, not only did we have to deal with downtown Chicago traffic, but the rain made it even worse.  Still, we made it to the convention center without any incidents, even after yours-truly got soaked helping prevent the registration tent from being blown away (why they had the tent outside, I have no idea).  Oh, and also for any that are reading this and attending Wek Fest Dallas (or any indoor show for that matter) please remember the gas rule.  They were checking vehicles.

Okay, enough talk, onto the pictures.  We showed up at the tail end of the roll-in so everything was pretty much setup.  We wiped down our cars quick (a good detail makes a world of difference), and did some last-minute detailing along with applying any necessary stickers before parking up and walking around.

View from the front of the venue looking back.  Pretty solid turnout. 

This FB was sick. 

Harlequin! 

 ProjectX line-up

 Seen It! brought out their crazy k20 swapped Rabbit truck and this dope Ruckus.

 Great fitment!

 Definitely digging the Hondas that came out.  Loved this EM1.  I'll have more Hondas in Part 3

 The i'mSTANCED line-up

 Drew's Mini filled in for Jared's i30 since it was rear-ended the week before  =(

 Andrew's G35 with freshly painted front and sides.

 Nam's tC rocking its new stance.

 My boring LS, haha!  Wanted to do a few things before the show, but it just didn't happen.

 Back to the other cars like this sick-ass Sorcery wide-body NSX.  It's turbo'd too.

 Euros were definitely well represented.

 Junkhouse

 Loved the Weds on this S13.5.

 Junkhouse had a huge section and took home best team representation.

 Good to see this matte orange GTI again.  Saw it a few years back at the Eurowerks show in MN.

 Because...

 Clean FC.  There were a lot of FCs at the show.

 Touge Factory x Rocket Bunny S13...teh sex.

Gonna close it out with a shot of Synth19's NSX from JDM Chicago.  Such a clean example of one of my favorite cars.

I'll have part 3 up tomorrow....promise.
