TORC 2011 Coverage!!!

Thats right. Im finally getting around to posting my pics from the 16th anual Toyota fest!!! :D

As usual it was an awesome time. It started friday, I headed down to Casey's in Hawthorne. Got there around 6 or so. Partied all night, passed out around 12 or 1? I really dont remember much from that night. Hahahaha. But I know it was a good time :P

Anyway we woke up at like 4AM, Todd and the NorCal crew was already there, and I guess they got there around 1AM and I was too dead to notice, haha. But we cleaned up, and headed out around 5:30 or something like that. I was riding shotgun with Shawn in the PW 1st gen. Tried to get a few rolling shots on the way, but not many turned out good. Lol

Todd's delecious minty box rollin. You can see Mark's box up ahead too.

We all got to the show a little before 6. Got parked and settled, checked in, and all that good stuff. Then it was time to park cars. HFD was in charge of parking 30 cars right behind where we were parked. So I helped with that for like an hour or soo, then when things died down the crew started detailing there cars and gettin ready for the show to start.

Eric bustin out the OG touch skills on Shawns car.

This right here was the talk of the day. It was a plunger handle Waggster used as a shift knob a while back. Well he broke it and gave it to me. So I started off the day parking cars with it, and it ended up in Shawns exhaust pipe. It got more attention then the actual car did hahaha.

After like 30 something hours of no sleep Todd finally passed out haha

IMG_0306

We later found out that all show entries get a free tour of the Queen Marry. By tour I mean u get to go on the boat and get ur self TOTALLY lost, which is exactally what Mark and I did :D

The creepy long hall ways, u can see how that slant down in the middle. Someone told me why but I totally forgot haha.

IMG_0308

Some how George ended up on a totally different level then us haha

IMG_0312

People were getting ready to leave. Dennis tapped up his car, gettin ready for the long drive back to NorCal.

IMG_0314

Then we finally rolled out and a few of us (Ryan, Shawn, Joe, Todd, and the rest of the NorCal crew) decided we were hungry and hit up Wing Stop. Tried to get a rolling shot of Joe's car haha

IMG_0316

So we couldnt find parking, and decided to go into a parking garage down the street from Wing Stop. So were about to roll in. And Ryans in front, he goes in and the bike on his roof hits the height limit sign. And he keeps driving because he couldnt stop and block traffic. So he went a little further and the bike hit the cement beams and ended up pushing down on the rack and dented the roof :(

Thanks everyone who made this possible. Casey for lettin my crash at his place, all my HFD homies for everything, and everyone who helps put TORC together. Always an awesome time, with or without a car. hahaha
