Rally Sport Direct Swap Meet

Today was the first Rally Sport Direct Swap Meet. It was an opportunity to meet new people, eat free pizza and swap or sell the pile of old parts you have lying around your garage/house. The day couldn't have been nicer, high in the mid seventies and sunny. Tons of people came out, both sides of the streets were lined with cars and the parking lots of the surrounding businesses were packed! Hopefully this won't be a one time only event, and judging by the response I doubt it will be a one time only thing.

Remember this GC coupe from the first WoW event? Well, this is on the middle of its front lip:

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:

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

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.
