Happy Thursday everyone… I’m just gonna go ahead and dive right into the third and concluding portion of the coverage. Can’t say there is is anything else that needs to be said that hasn’t been covered in the previous two parts. As always, I’ve attached the links to the previous two posts if you happened to have missed any of it. This last FD post will cover mostly the Slammed Society car show side of the event. I had spent most of the day on the other side over in the pit/vendor area and wanted to make sure that I covered a bulk of the car show side before I left that day. As always, it was a great event and I look forward to checking it out again when they return for the season finale at the end of the year…

Back in the vendor area, I made sure to get a shot of the Subaru BRZ with molded Rocket Bunny aero. I thought I had taken a photo of it early in the morning when I arrived but that was actually on my cell phone…Molding in the kit sort of takes away from the rawness of the TRA-Kyoto kit but it’s an interesting look…
MOTHER’s Ford Mustang RTR…
