Coverage: The Official 2015 Wekfest Texas Pre-Meet

It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged or posted anything on the Mayday Garage site but what better timing than to post about our past event, the 2015 Wekfest Pre-Meet. Every year, the Wekfest show tours around the nation and one of their stops includes Texas. Thankfully, Houston was the city chosen this year to represent Wekfest Texas or #WFTX.  When the announcement was made, we were hesitant to throw a pre-meet, but who throws a better meet nowadays than Mayday Garage? We do it for the young kids, enthusiasts, photographers, car spotters, builders who want to show off their #wekfestprep builds the night before, and for the people who can’t make it to the show to come out and support.  Our usual venue choices always comes down to either 8th Wonder Brewery or Moon Tower Inn. We went with the latter because Canal St. is much wider and parking logistics is a lot better, plus they do have a great selection of beers on tap, and the exotic weiners are pretty good. I arrived pretty late due to work, but we were lucky enough to have local photographer, Ashley Silva, let us use a few of her high quality photos to use…

Bronze TE37’s everything….

@kingkdm_crownedlegacy’s really wild Hyundai Genesis getting sniped by a few photographers…

Not as wild but Ducky Tysdal’s LS3 swapped Hyundai is super clean with the hot pink faced 3 piece wheels…

Another shot of @UHHMANNDUHHH’s 91 CRX on bronze TE’s from the rear…

@rhd_puff’s RHD 2JZ powered Toyota Aristo showing it can hard park on Work XSA 04C wheels…

Are you SLAMMEDENUFF?

The sun was setting at this time so lighting was almost perfect…

Ashley really likes s2k rear ends…

Ok, maybe she likes the rear end as well on Cody’s Hellrot E36M3 with modified Felony Form fenders…

Street was so packed at this time, Mike Phan and his NSX had to hard park on the street for a while…

Looks like it was getting darker, but another modified Hyundai Genesis with a Liberty Walk / Rocket Bunny kit…

Johnp recently got a ride in this car after it was tuned by St00pid and it was… stupid fast.

Team Square One reppin pretty hard that weekend…

Vossens filling up that wheel space pretty well…

One of the cleanest Supra’s in Houston is Steve Nuss’ Mk4…

We actually didn’t find out until the night before, but there was another show just a street down from us…

When you build a car to that caliber, that statement is true…

This ITR built by Chen Huang traveled all the way from midwest Iowa…

A very nice view of @maydayjohnp’s rear ass… of his car..

Not everyone’s cup of tea but a lot of work was put into this build…

Bunta going widebody and super fat wheels…

VIP rolling through…

Before RWB got big, there was Princeton Wong’s crazy 993 build…

A frontal view of Tito’s Widebody STi…

Pec had to choose between his RockyAuto Hako or Kenmeri… guess the Hako won…

AWDS13 what?

Tuning your car for stance… making @SNElvis proud…

Rice and beer…mmm…

@FRIVERA2121 Miata’s style flows so well… this is his daily car and always looks like this…

@maydayjohnp taking any chance he can get to be in front of a camera…

If we liked your car, Johnp would give you a pretty legit parking spot…

Really clean S30…

Of course a Houston car meet wouldn’t be a car meet without burnouts by domestics and trucks -__-

The event in our eyes was a great turnout like always, but we’re not perfect and there are things we can improve on. If you have any questions, comments, or complaints, you can email johnp@maydaygarage.com ^_^

Special thanks to Ashley Silva Photography, Moontower Inn, @Riceboxtruck, Wekfest USA, and Stickydiljoe for attending and making it again one of the biggest meets of the year.  Let’s hope we can do this again next year if Wekfest decides to come back to Houston.
