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:





Eric's K swapped coupe, aka the shit box haha




Next to Eric's coupe was Billy's immaculate hatch




A pair of NASA road racing vets graced the lot with their presence


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.


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.

Supremacy Racing X FICE meet

On September 30 some bad ass cars and some dumb ass people came to downtown Salt Lake for The Finale, the last meet of the summer. As I pulled in front of FICE I saw a mess of cars backed up trying to get into the alley/parking lot behind the store. Knowing that my shit box wasn't worthy of being parked with the hotness I parked around the corner and walked on in. Here's what I saw through out the 6 and a half hours I was there:



Frank was tearing around on the phone trying to get people to the meet...I think


Gramps brought out his clean CRX, then admired the green gorilla on the wall behind the dumpster most of the night.


Frank's prime parking spot.

The RHD cars made the trek up from Provo


This is Jordan. He drew the lucky/unlucky straw and had to cover the meet for Tunerzine.com. This was his first time doing something like this, so naturally I bugged the living hell out of him. I got video of that, but it's not edited yet. Me torturing him will be up tomorrow.


This is the lucky part of event coverage: telling hot chicks to pose next to a car. I couldn't get them to do any posing cause I just had my point and shoot... Hoes


The unlucky part: Tony getting his "sexy" on

Now the rest of my pics (which can be seen here) are your standard meet picture fare. But me and Jordan did some serious collaborating and shot some bad ass pics after the meet. When those pics see the light of day I'll let you know, but in the meantime enjoy mine.

Supremacy Racing's "Fast Frank" video

Kel and Frank from Supremacy Racing and my boy Jordan Porritt busted their asses making this video. It's Jordan's first, and it's fucking unreal for a first go. Check it out and spread the love

So another shoot got canned

I was going to shoot this guy Bobbo. Nice guy, good photographer, but he got a job and had to cancel. So again I was left with far too much time on my hands. But instead of shooting more coins (I found more) I went out skateboarding and, while out, I was struck a with an inspiration. Here's what I got:



Everybody thinks that my Supremacy Racing sticker is a Supreme sticker. It isn't. Supreme isn't rocking a horse for a logo, they don't build fast Hondas, and I have really no connection to Supreme. Supremacy, on the other hand, hosted my first art show and I know Frank and Kel, the guys who run it.

It's not much of an update, but it's either that or coins. And my God I hate those coins.
