Event Coverage: MaydayGarage Does Wek’Fest Cali Style!

Weaksauce is defined as something that is incredibly lame, weak, or uncool.

WEKSOS, the creative minds behind the now legendary WEK’FEST car shows in California is the exact opposite.
Confused? Don’t be.
What started as a small gathering of the best whips on the west coast has outgrown it’s NorCal roots, and now is set for a four city, nationwide tour starting with Los Angeles, home of the greatest cars this side of the Mississippi. Actually, the event was held about 30 miles south of LA in Long Beach, which made this particular venue that much more eye-popping. WEKSOS also collaborated with world reknown car culture/lifestyle aficionados, FATLACE, originators of the coined term “HELLAFLUSH“. Together, these two wonder teams are hell bent on world domination as all tuning eyes of the world focus on one corner of the globe, southern California.

Unfortunately, all of the MaydayGarage guys were tied up doing other things during this weekend, so we definitely were not out in full force, however, our resident Honda expert, Andrew got a chance to fly out last weekend for both Wek’Fest and to visit his homies. Armed with his trusty Canon 50D and a small handful of lenses, he was able to capture his side of the show. This is his story as told in pictures. **Warning** If you’re viewing this from a mobile phone, you will not see everything, cause I’m sure your phone can’t handle 100+ photos!!**

You already know.
This story begins on that now famous street where the DPK and ATS guys get together the day before the show to wash the cars and button up any last minute issues…

ATS*Fred and son Jaylen enjoying the Long Beach sun while the crew washes the cars.

Dina and Angel help out Jason on his mint CRX.

Ryan(AirbagClub) and Angel conversing....or is Angel listening to Ryan talk about Carne Asada fries? LOL I'm all ears Ryan.

Jason applying some additional elbow grease on Dina's S2k. I should have gotten them a couple chairs...probably would have been easier on the back...since it's so low.

Dina's S2K again.....resting on all fours.

EK Squad originator Chris

The biggest homie..Hoonie.

David taking the wheel of Lisa's DC2 in prep for a minor detail.

Pie aka LFP Low Fat Pie(newest name per Joey from The Chronicles).

I'd think twice about stealing those rims.

Joey's super clean Q from The Chronicles

Little Jaylen playing with the chamois, and never running out of energy.

Angel telling Low Fat Pie, "look at me, 500 calories a day ain't gonna cut it around here".

We headed over to Rywire's shop to let the guys get a couple cars ready and Joey wanted to shoot Ryan an Chris's EK's. Stay tuned to The Chronicles for that feature. Pictured L-R Ryan, Jason, Jared, Ben and Darryl carefully fasten Jareds bumper on his S2000.

Dina never got a word in since David was sip'n NOS, courtesy of his sponsor.

Jared, Jason and Ryan put the final touches on things.

I love the seriousness of ATS*Ryans interior.

I think Ben and Angel are comparing their S2000's.

And with that, it’s off to the Wek’Fest show!

Digging this. Clean, tucked w/AC, and nice ride height.

ATS*Chris's Rando kitted EK on Regas is always a crowd favorite.

During roll in was a good time to get shots since the crowds weren't there yet. You could spot most people removing hoods all morning.

If this picture only had sound. Man this M5 sounded nice!!

Solomon getting the facial treatment.

WFC represent!

Arn and ATS*Anh early in the morning.

DPK*Davids K equipped coupe

This toyota was a nostalgic crowd favorite

Rywire Ryan, DPK*Alex(Sheepey) and Elsa having a early morning chat.

There were plenty of S2000's on hand but this one was more Amused.

Gotta love cocaved TE's on Angels S2k.

Night-Import?

This Mazda 3 looked good on a set of staggered Junction Produce wheels

At Wekfest you never know what you'll see, as this LP640 took a spot close to the harbor.

Ernesto Jr, one of the ones that made this whole show/venue possible. Thank you sir!

Oh did I mention he's a huge BMX bike builder. This was one of three I saw him dip'n around on Sunday.

Eddies SC is always a pleasure to see.

Serious business

DPK*Jared was all smiles, I would be too if my S2000 had a super clean tucked bay by Rywire.

I spotted this 86 Corolla last August at Nisei, and it still makes me stop for in for a pit stop.

This TC was doin it big, and I was a fan.

DPK*David was also doing well, as he piloted Jason's silver CRX to the show.

And a partial shot of his bay. Very well thought out and clean.

Grimace approves.

Joey taking a break and hanging out.

Mikeys Box killing the grass.

DPK*Darryl/Drail hanging out.

Evasive brought out their Spoon S2000 with the new Voltex wing.

This ISF was posted up in the vendor area.

Ejay is a happy character and it's always a pleasure to see him. He decided to stop by the tent and grace us with his presence.

Leonsssssss

Dat Assthon Martin took a front row seat by the water.

You want variety? Wekfest was the place to be.

If you look closely, you'll see our sticker!

As photographers, we bend over...backwards for that needed shot.

Everything about Anh's car is Anh fire. Check out our sticker!

ATS*Ryan's multi-featured EK. Gotta love the sticker!

Joey and I went for the DSLR draw.....he won.

John Deere Style

Hey! Look at that... eh, you already know.

And here's OJay's good friend JP(RootbeerEG), giving his LS two thumbs up.

The Circuit Hero EG was in attendance, I just wish I took more pics of it. But here's a shot of the ASC strut bar.

Arn brought out his 68 Mini(Bell) for the first time.

Jimi, go feed Diego, I think he's hungry. Lol

It's rare to see modded FD's and this one was a must see....in person.

Where's the beef?

Volkswagen Racing was selling these umbrellas for $15, yes that's it. Slight defects, but totally worth it. I scooped one myself so I didn't have a repeat farmers tan like Nisei last year.
