Speed & Stance - Auto Club Speedway

As promised, my follow up from the good photo weekend. So last Sunday, I was cruising Instagram admiring all the automotive photo work out there. Then I ran into a picture of an impromptu car meet turned carshow that was happening that day, held by Motormavens and a few others. Coming down from my photo high from the day before, I had to chase it again. Mapped Auto Club Speedway, saw it was an hour away, and I was off.

I imagined I wasn't going to be there for long. Park real quick to snap a few photos a leave. The first indicator of, "okay, okay...this should be good," was the back up of cars to get in. Early arrival was key. By the time I left, there were tons of cars waiting to get in. After I paid my 10 bucks to park, I was surprised with the turnout of cars and people. I'd describe it as a mini-carshow with a mix of fully suited cars at the entrance, to spectator cars getting to show of of their pride and joy. A bonus to the show was the other events going on off to the side. If you got bored of looking at parked cars you could easily walk to either side of the show and watch cars make a run for it. You even had the ability to check out the garages to enjoy that fresh aroma of a freshly tracked car. If you wanted a more foody aroma that you could taste, food trucks were on hand to fill you up. Much props to the folks who put this together. From what I heard over the speakers, they put this together in a week. I'd recommend checking this out if another pops up, I know I will.

Until next time...
