On the run! The Mayday Garage Lonestar Run to Wek’Fest!

As I’m typing this while riding shotgun in Greg Lilly’s Matte Green STi, i’m having some difficulty holding on to my macbook and camera as Greg is literally blasting past our 30+ caravan of sweet and sick rides! I picked a few photos to share, and we’re a few hours out from our last stop at In-N-Out Burgers in Ft. Worth. Enjoy!

I warned Mikey this would be a bad idea. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

Mayday Garage Event News: The Mayday Lonestar Run

The Lonestar Run. Houston’s official roll out to Ft. Worth for WekFest.

The Lonestar Run is strictly for entertainment purposes only. It is not a race, therefore Mayday Garage is not responsible for any tickets, deaths, explosions or offensive material such as mooning that happen this run.

Now that being said, Meet-Up time is 9:00am at Greenspoint Mall in the main parking lot and roll-out will be 10:00 SHARP on Friday October 14th.

Some people are going to ask why we are leaving at 10AM on Friday and not 5-6pm and the answer is real simple, traffic. Having multiple cars in a “caravan” during rush hour sucks for everyone, therefore 10AM it is so we avoid the morning rush hour and afternoon rush hour traffic.

Secondly, some people will ask why we are leaving on Friday and not super hella early on Saturday morning. The answer is that we all love to party our asses off on Friday before the show, so, if you want to party with us, then roll out on Friday!

Now, on to the details.

The Lonestar Run. –

When: October 14th, 2011

Where: Greenspoint Mall, 12300 N. Freeway, The corner of 45N and BW8.

2.) This is not a Cannonball/Gumball 3000 style race; it is a Fun Run/Cruise style of event. “Excessive” speeding is not encouraged..
3.) No Mooning on the Lonestar Run

Event Coverage: Wek’Fest Pre-Meet at Baker Tuning part 2.

In part one of our coverage, I just posted a bunch of pictures, cause I was just wanting to throw out a small portion of our pictures before the internet got flooded with others.

So now I’m gonna throw out a LOT more photos so our readers can see what went down.

Ronald's 1JZ powered FD was turning all sorts of heads

And here they started to roll in and it wasn't even time for meet to start!

The Powerful and Fabulous PowerFab G35. All show, and all Go.

Yes, people weren't just sitting by their cars...

The Strictly G'z crew showed up in strong numbers.

If you guessed this FD had a non-rotary motor, you guessed right.

The crowd listens as JohnP calls out Bingo Balls.

Jk. He was calling out names in our free raffle for swag, but on weekends JohnP does play Bingo

An Opulence of Style: Dennis To’s Silky Smooth Mazda RX-8.

If I was given a dollar for every car that has been thrown at me to consider featuring on MaydayGarage, I’d have enough money to buy myself a set of decent wheels for the daily. When I get the opportunity to check out local meets, i’m always in scouting mode, scanning the endless sea of imports to find “that” car. Sometimes I’ll strike out, but then sometimes I’ll come across a car that will instantly catch my eye.

Event Coverage: Mazda Miata Mini Meeting.

When the infamous Linhbergh Nguyen of SpeedHunters fame asked me to put together a makeshift Mazda Miata meet here in Houston, I thought to myself, “how in the hell am I going to pull this off?”. It’s no secret that Linhbergh fancies the Mazda roadster, and if you just google “Linhbergh Miata”, you’ll find example after example of his work.

Blowing Shit Up with New MaydayGarage Stickers!

Today we are introducing our newest batch of one-off stickers!
First up is a sticker I hold dear to my heart, as I am a huge Back to the Future movie fan. 2010 marks the 25th anniversary of this epic movie, so to celebrate, we are debuting our BTTF MaydayGarage sticker in a run of only 50 stickers and will be available at the 512 Project this Saturday!

Yes. We said JIZZAWATTS.

Speaking of the 512 Project, don’t forget that we are hosting this year’s Mayday Capital Run, a twin caravan leaving from both Dallas and Houston Saturday morning to the state’s capital, Austin, TX. To commemorate this year’s run, we have a limited edition Mayday Capital Run sticker for both our Dallas and Houston legs!

This is the Houston edition. The Dallas edition will have 35 on it.

These stickers will be FREE for the FIRST 50 participants (cars) on each leg Saturday morning (after you fill out our waiver form), after that there will be no more!

We also have one more sticker.
I cannot show this sticker online as it is very controversial, and extremely limited. We will be handing out these prototype stickers to a select few at Project 512, so look out for them! I guaran-fucking-tee that these stickers will make you laugh, but I’m not going to spoil it here.

Stay tuned tomorrow as we will be doing some live blogging for those of you that couldn’t make the event! Follow us also on Twitter @MaydayJohnP @MaydayDavidD and also on our Facebook Fan page!
