If you missed part one you can find it here at CSCS Finale Part 1

I’ve been wanting to take a trip out to Cayuga for awhile and I have been wanting to go to a CSCS event for just as long so it figures that when I finally had the time to go to one the weather was a mixed bag of nuts. The weather eventually led to the cancellation of the drag racing and had the show and shine guys spent more time drying their cars than showing them but I still took quite a few pics. I am going to start breaking up my event coverage into easier to load pieces (about 30 photos per post) so this is part 1 of the coverage; Random stuff, Drag, Paddock Cars, and Drifters.

Random Stuff

Like every other show I go to I took pics of interesting things that caught my eye, Zombieland taught me to appreciate the little things, go see that movie by the way.

On September 13th, the day after Import fest, the 3rd annual  Cruisin’ for a Cure charity car show took place at  Chingauacousy park in Brampton Ontario. I have mentioned time and time again that I am a fan of charity car shows so I make a point to hit up as many as I can. Cruisin’ for the cure had a pretty decent turn out (although some cars had left by the time I arrived) and a few very unique cars.

The Possum
I saw this car on the road awhile back and wondered what the heck was going on a mural with some dudes face on the front of a tour bus, weird. Well turns out the Possum is a country singer names George Jones, or no show Jones when he is drinking.

This is the first time I have been to importfest in probably 9 years.  Last time I went Randys Sparres e30 was still around.  This show is hyped as the biggest car show in Canada so I guess my expectations were really high. I’ve been to a lot of shows this summer so that lead to me having seen a lot of the cars already. However I had not  seen a  lot of the models already so I took lots  of pictures  of them to make up  for it haha. Let’s go.

The Cadillac
Cadillac Northstar v8 motors have been turning up in the weirdest places lately, first that Chevy Cavalier from Scrape By The Lake and now this 53 or so Eldorado Convertible. After my “Holy Shit” reaction the owner showed interest in me and we conversed for awhile about the car.

He told me that he got this car for a steal because the swap wasn’t running and all it needed was a sensor replaced to work with the engine harness used during the swap.

He also went on to tell me that he had it appraised at 150 grand and that it was for sale so he could redo his other ride, Orange Crush, I really wish I could afford this unique Caddy.

The second show I went to this past weekend was Extreme Invasion. Even though the  weather was looming all day and hurt the turnout a little bit the show was still decent. The big feature at this show (at least for me) were the SPL (Sound Pressure Level) cars. Prior to this weekend I never got a chance to see one of these contests in person or sit in an SPL car and even though my ears were telling me Monday morning that was a bad idea it was still something I had to experience.

Have to thank my friends Pat Cyr and Chris Delacruz for giving me the heads up on this event taking place Saturday August 15th and Sunday August 16th at Downsview Park.

The idea behind Battle of the car clubs is pretty simple. It’s a mesh of your normal tuner Show and Shine competition combined with Drift Mania. This should bring out all the local car shows in the GTA to have some friendly competitions against each other in some of the various events (detailed in a sec) going on over the course of the weekend.

Admission Info
General Admission: $25
Student Admission: $20
Under 12yrs old: $10
Weekend Pass: $45

Competitor Info
Vehicle Pre-Registration (on now) is $75 until August 2nd then it goes up to $85
Vehicle Pre-Registration for 8 or more cars in a club is $65

As mentioned battle of the car clubs will have a show and shine and drifting but it will also have:
Karting
Exotic Car Gallery
Kidz Zone (bounce house, balloons etc)
Obstacle course (for both car club members and the battle of the models)
and an after party Saturday night

Stance Is  Everything is planning on covering  this event

Tuners Against Street Racing went off for its third year without a hitch and Stance Is Everything was there to cover the event. Since I took so many photos at the show I am going to break the coverage up into two parts. This second part of the coverage contains photos of some of the standout vehicles and amusing things from the event.

Be sure to check out T.A.S.R. Coverage Part One: Best Team as well

Tuners Against Street Racing went off for its third year without a hitch and Stance Is Everything was there to cover the event. Since I took so many photos at the show I am going to break the coverage up into two parts. Part one is an in depth pictorial of the torontomazda3.ca crew  which took home the best  team trophy.

Pre meet shots
The Mazda crew had members from all  around the  GTA so there  were two  initial pre meet spot locations. I was at the west end spot  where we  waited for the east siders before rolling  into the show as a unit.
