This weekend we went to Carlisle P&S for one of the biggest Hyundai events on the east coast. It was a 3 days event and lots of fun! Met lots of nice new friends and got to show off the VT's skills a bit. total trip mileage was ~750 miles.
we had all this packed into the car. 4 wheels/tires, 10x10 canopy, 2 fold-up chairs, aluminum racing jack, 3 small toolboxes, detailing supplies. also 3 duffel bags. on the way back we had 2 full cases of beer (bottles). i could still see out the back window.
schedule of events!
old truck that won the burnout competition sunday afternoon.
sweet pano of about 1/3 of the fairgrounds. the HMC building where our club was is far far left of here.
widebody FST i believe you could win in a contest.
nasty weather coming in saturday midday. we had a tornado warning... the rain got heavy and the wind did too for about 45 minutes.
a gencoupe owner and her pet hedgehog, turbo.

our little slice of heaven behind the VT on the showfield. this was wicked early saturday, before most of the cars rolled in. 830ish. judging was early afternoon.
fox marketing VT i am absolutely in love with.
will's sonata that was in our building. copper dip with carbon vinyl.

sandwich i had at the victory brewery in downingtown PA after we left carlisle sunday midday.
and now for my photos!
met up with a friend friday morning to give her a district16 vinyl and her glasses she lost at my place when she came to visit for a fire. another veloster owner!
great hand wash place in carlisle. they had a maserati in there getting done up, figured my econobox would be fine. yes, i spent the whole weekend on slicks from the time we arrived until sunday morning when i put the street tires back on with a massive hangover.
small meet friday night at the park inn. great place to stay.
at the fairgrounds!
nicoclub autox photos. i placed 3rd out of all the drivers.
and then... unexpectedly i placed 2nd in the "asian open" category! consisting of velosters, elantras, and other asian cars with no actual classing. the red one got 1st, the black one was 3rd. all of us named chris. my first show trophy ever.
ended up receiving this carbon fiber overlay for the filler door. a nice girl won it in a raffle, but she doesn't drive a veloster and i had my hand up first for it when she was giving it away. its like a frisbee.....cheap. decided i am going to start making my own carbon fiber parts this summer.
and that is pretty much it for now! here is a video of my gopro
