Event Coverage: Eurokracy 2013 – Part. 1

After hearing nothing but good things about Eurokracy for two straight years I decided 2013 was the year to make the voyage from Toronto to Montreal to check things out first hand. Being a terrible navigator I opted to join the Scraped Crusaders for their cruise down and as the convoy got larger stop after stop I knew I wouldn't be disappointed in the show the following day.

Theme Tuesdays: Eurokracy 2013 Burnout Contest

There is going to be a lot of Eurokracy coverage the site and fanpage this week and I can't think of a better way to start things off than with a Theme Tuesday dedicated to the crowd pleasing burnout contest. This is actually the first burnout contest I've ever photographed (Lyndsey on the assist) and I couldn't have asked for a better one to cut my teeth with.

Event Coverage: 2013 CSCS Beach Burnout – Part 2.

Going to finish up the 2013 CSCS Beach Burnout coverage before moving on to what will be an onslaught of coverage from Eurokracy 2013. Today's coverage is made up of the photos I took while not on the track or hiding in the shade from the heat.

WTF Friday: 160mph Compressed Air Dragster

While looking into a photo of another crazy dragster from the 60's I stumbled across this 'compressed air' dragster built by Honeywell (then Garret and shortly after AlliedSignal). It was powered by three 35 pound turbine engines that put out 750 pounds of torque a piece.

Guest Coverage: June Jitter Bug 2013

Going to take a quick break from the CSCS Beach Burnout coverage and light up the main stage for June Jitter Bug, a local Volkswagen show that takes place every year at Fireman's Park in Niagara Falls. Like Vanfest June Jitterbug is one of those shows I've wanted attend for a few years but can't swing due to other events or personal commitments. I have however run guest coverage from it before and this years comes from Mark Armstrong a long time reader and local enthusiast.

Event Coverage: 2013 CSCS Beach Burnout

Last year's "Beach Burnout" hosted by the Canadian Sport Compact Series  was my first voyage out to Grand Bend and I learned that the six hours (round trip) of driving required to make it all work in one day is less than enjoyable so thinking ahead we made a weekend of it this year. On Saturday we drove up to Lyndsey's sisters in Exeter, went to Lucan for a tractor pull, and then woke up at a decent hour Sunday to make our way to the Grand Bend Motorplex.

Theme Tuesdays: RIP Jae Bueno

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of lowriders and the lowriding culture and one of the people who documented that best is Jae Bueno. Based in LA Jae had access to the best of the best when it came to lowriding (and everything else automotive) and his work was showcased online via Fatlace, and his own site, and a couple times he even appeared over on The Chronicles.

WTF Friday: Jerky Boy

Throughout an average week I get a lot of messages from people wanting me to plug one thing or another via the various Stance Is Everything social channels. Generally these messages read something like this: "hey I've got this cool photo/fanpage/contest/product could you share it for me? I'm trying to get the name out".

Event Coverage: 2013 Niagara Tuner & Truck Expo – Part 2.

Back to conclude the coverage from the 2013 Niagra Tuner And Truck Expo. As I mentioned yesterday once mother nature got her act together everything worked out pretty nicely for this years show. It's really quite impressive how much this show has grown in a short three years and people have even started to call it the replacement to the much loved Scraped By The Lake.

Random Dopeness: Volume 2

I've decided to create a new category called 'Random Dopeness' for days that I don't have much to say but a few things to post. I figure it's also a good way to prevent myself from re posting content since I have over 200 posts and a bad memory. Here is Random Dopeness two of many.

WTF Fridays: 10 Crazy Youtube Street Racing Crashes

This is a little cross contamination from my other blog, Random As Rhyme, but I feel the post fits Stance Is Everything really well and a lot of the crashes are of the wtf how did that happen or wtf were they thinking variety. And with the recent local new story of a Lancer driver going 130k over the posted speed limit this weeks WTF Friday fits.

Theme Tuesdays: Local Builds Part 1

It's been awhile since a build thread has appeared here, and with the season almost completely in full swing today seemed like the perfect time to post some of the local builds I've been following. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of these builds are at the first Stretch & Poke event on Sunday.

WTF Friday: Crazy Finnish Rally Crashes

I was watching Destroyed in Seconds late one night recently and among videos of people building their own bulldozers and wrecking a town,snow mobilers failing extreme hill climbs, motorcycle riders clipping walls, there was video of some insane rally crashes. A few days later I saw this 10 minute video of Crazy Finnish rally crashes. Whenever I see these videos my first reaction is WTF why are spectators so close to the action?
