Wekfest San Jose 2014 Coverage…Part 4…


Sorry for the huge gap in content the last few days. I’ve been on the East Coast covering the Wekfest East event in New Jersey and just got back yesterday afternoon. The moment I walked into my office I already began working on this post. It took a couple hours but I’m finally done with the entire photo set from Wekfest SJ. Now I just need to post it up. I would have liked to have gotten this up on Monday but there just wasn’t enough time last week to get all the posts ready until now. Wekfest in Jersey was a blast and I can’t wait to start going through those photos. The last two weekends have been amazing but I have to admit that I’m a bit worn-out from doing shows back-to-back on both coasts. Now that I’m back, I have about a day to go through as much of the Wekfest East photos as I can before I gotta head to Hawaii to be a guest judge for Spocom. I haven’t even unpacked yet but there probably isn’t any reason to other than to do laundry. These next couple weeks will be filled with event photos so I hope you guys are ready for it. It is a lot to take in but I don’t think any one would complain about seeing some really great cars from all over….

I’d love to stick around and chat but seriously, my sleep schedule is as fucked up as ever so I guess I should try to take a nap or something before I get back to work. I don’t even know how I’m functioning right now with a sleep schedule that ended up being three hours earlier than usual and in about a day or so, I’ll have to move that same schedule six hours later than the new schedule that I just barely got used to. If you’re confused, you’re not the only one. My brain is fried. Hawaii sounds awesome right about now. I hope I’m awake for it, haha. Enjoy the photos and come back for more, A LOT more….

Dilemma now is whether to eat lunch, nap, or unpack and repack.

No complaints here, I’m loving life. Hard work pays off my friends. If you’re in Hawaii, see you soon. For those of you who I just left on the East Coast, thanks for the support….

Darryl from DPK has been working quietly on this supercharger install for a while now and got it together just in time for Wekfest. There are still some kinks that need to be worked out but after a good tune, the car should be ready to cruise the streets again…

Chris Ortez showed up to the “Super Bowl of car shows” to compete in the Infiniti Class with his thoroughly well-built Infiniti G35 sedan. Not much has changed since the last time you saw it but he’s literally done everything to it already….

  1. So many awesome Hondas on display! Salem’s TSX looks incredible.

  2. The Rywire E-AT engine bay is like a piece of art. Too clean.

    Joey,

    What do you think of Ngoun’s Honda/RX-7 with the mismatching manufacturers?

  3. Just FYI, that black GTR has yet to prove to anyone that he has an AMS motor.

  4. Thanks fоr sharing youг thоughts оn custom black ford mustang emblems badges.
