Supremacy Racing 8th Anniversary

On April 24th Utah Honda folk from Logan to Chester (i.e. the sticks) descended upon 1727 Main Street in Sunset to celebrate Supremacy Racing's 8 year Anniversary. Frank, Kel, Eric, Kam and a few others jumped through every hoop getting this thing organized. Eric came to C&C that morning to rally the troops and get everyone up there in time. I didn't join the caravan, electing to get lost looking for the Herriman skatepark (good news, I found it and it's awesome). After my adventure in the suburbs I made my way north.

Despite leaving late, AND from a point much farther south than I'd have liked to, I arrived early. I said my hello's, gave Micah and Chan DVD's with their COTM shoots on them, and then got to shooting. Here's what I saw:

Here's something I thought was just a story: Ryan's DC5. It chilled in the lot while he directed traffic into and out of the civilian parking lot

Oooo, shiny. The ITB's on Frank's all motor hatch.

Food tent. What you can't see are the coolers full of Starbucks. Yes, there was Starbucks. Yes, they sponsored the event.

DJ
No live band this year, but we did have a DJ

Pretty good turn out.

Thanks to Frank and Kel and everyone who helped organize this. Check out the Supremacy Racing 8th set on my flickr page, and check out Supremacy's blog for more pics and info on what's going on with them.

First Wide Open Wednesday of 2010

Yes, the time has come for Miller to open the east track to anyone with $25 and a car that isn't leaking fluids like crazy. It was the first Wide Open Wednesday of 2010 and there was a great turn out. UtahHondas.net had a big presence out there, hell, Hondas in general had a big presence: Civics galore, a CRX, a couple Integras, an S2000, a Prelude and an NSX, the holy grail of Hondas.

Usually there's a healthy amount of Subaru's, but this time there were only 4: a last generation Legacy GT wagon (none of the pics turned out too well unfortunately), Jordan's monster truck:

This wagon which, after a first lap hiccup, ran pretty well:

A GC coupe that appeared for only one lap then disappeared:

You might think it's slow, and you'd be right

Wide Open Wednesdays 4-14 (53 of 61)
If not for the NSX this would've been the mid engine car of the event.

In life there are winners and losers. This guy is not only a winner, but he might be the WoW shit box champion.

He never moved from this position except when a Mustang would come through and eat a cone.
