Eurokracy

Eurokracy just dropped the trailer for their 2015 event which has switched venues from Napierville Raceway to I-Car Experience. Having gone both the 2013 and 2014 shows (and hopefully returning again this year) I can personally...

Moving right along with the Eurokracy coverage, today we will take a look at a few of the vehicles that various vendors brought to the show as well as a selection of vehicles from the...

After an awesome weekend in 2013 there was no question in my mind that in 2014 I would be returning to the land of poutine and cheap beer for Canada's largest euro-centric event: Eurokracy. Now four years...

I'm not sure what it is about the European car community, but they really seem to have the swapped, tucked, shaved, and polished engine bay game on lock. It was a real treat to walk around...

The car that undoubtedly stole the show at Eurokracy 2013 was this teal, right hand drive, MK1 Rabbit. Built by Quebec City based Unix Performance this no holds barred, no expense sparred, beauty was hidden behind a wall of slack jawed on lookers almost the entire show and personally I stopped by the car on three different occasions in a vain attempt to take in all of the details.

One of the best things about the Napierville Dragway (where Eurokracy 2013 was held) is that the dragstrip was viewable from nearly any location in the facility. This meant that if you were looking at...

While at Eurokracy I kept telling myself I needed to shoot more photos in order to somewhat accurately portray the scale of the show. When I got home the first thing I asked myself was "why did I take so many photos!?" Funny how that works. Mountain of editing aside the entire Eurokracy 2013 experience was great and I encourage everyone with even the smallest interest in European cars (or low cars in general) to check out one of these events sometime in the future.

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.

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.

Despite the wet weather last years Eurokracy drew quite a crowd proving that European car enthusiasts are not the type to let a little water get in the way of good times and low cars. This year the Eurokracy team started promoting the show six months in advance and once the weather cooperated breaking last years attendance record was no problem at all.

About a month ago now Jesse from Air Society and myself began discussing collaboration ideas for both of our Canadian based stance sites. While we continue to work out some of the final details of our future plans he sent over some coverage from 'Eurokracy' taken by Fuel Riders. Eurokracy was Air Society's first show and it brought out a number of quality cars from Vermont, Strasse, NY, as well as a few people from Toronto including Scraped Crusaders .
