This past weekend July 19th had to big events going, Eurofest and Scrape By The Lake, after weighing what both shows had to offer we headed out to Scrape By The Lake only because it’s the only show close enough to the GTA that has a large turnout of Low riders and mini trucks. With over 164 pictures ready for the web this coverage is going to be broken up into three parts over the next three days in addition to our regular fare. First up: The Lowriders
Note: I am trying a larger resolution for the pictures so be sure to click on them as they open up larger
Hoppers – Hoppin
Hydraulics are a big part of the low riding community and somewhat rare at shows around here but Scrape was the place to go to see these cars do what no other can.
Four of the contestants for the hop contest and the announcer
The announcer hopped his fully built single pump Caddy
Another single pump Caddy
Nice car to go cruising in
So classics
Green single pump Monte Carlo
This cutlass pulled up read to get down to business
Almost hitting rear bumper
This Green Impala was serious
This car was moving all over the place
Thankfully right into position for this shot
This Impala eventually came in and took the win
Hoppers – Three wheelin
As these guys left the hopping area the did it in style
Scraping in general proximity of the lake
Crowd loves it
Announcer flexin his Caddy
Switches get the bitches
Hoppers – Showing
The craziest part about most of the hoppers is that they are fully built show cars as well
Cutlass flossin in the show and shine after hoping
This is Blue Caddy also went back to the show and shine
It also had a really nice mural which I took a really bad picture of
From 3 wheelin in the hop contest to 3 wheel pose
This picture makes me dizzy
This was taken before the hop contest
And this was after, sometimes stuff breaks
Underhood of the high hopping double pump Impala
Lowrider bikes
Lowrider bikes were also on display, these are crazy.
So much going on here almost overwhelming
Say Hello to my little friend
Chain reaction
Really nice display
This is why people are scared of clowns
Pure Elegance
This car was in a league all it’s own
Every inch of this car was detailed.
Look at all the engraving, then look again because you probably missed some
Note the painted door jamb and the amp peeking out from under the seat
Paint is smooth as glass
Even the bottom of the floorboards was detailed, and oilpan etched
Show and shine lowriders
These some of the other low lows in the show and shine
Big black Caddy
Sittin low
Clean white Impala
My friend Pat Cyr, yes the one who drifts, bagged wag
This was the first time I had ever seen it in person, so clean
This was probably the jam in the 80s
So true, also note the temporary tag
Other than the angle this could be your grandfathers towncar
I bet this could have hopped really well
Not my favorite color but it works
Another example of classic lowrider style
Who needs Dubs?
This car has seen some miles but still commands respect
Have to earn these plaques
This is one of my favorite shots from the weekend
Girls
There were a lot of girls hanging around, come back tomorrow for the bikini contest shots
Just hanging around
Heading to the bikini contest
Another girl going somewhere
