On June 2nd, 2012 Weksos Industries brought Wekfest down to Southern California. Wekfest LA 2012 was held at the Queen Mary events in Long Beach, CA. After throwing some awesome car shows in the past, Weksos Industries sure did not disappoint.
The official Wekfest LA entry stamp.
The other night, I went out to get my car’s transmission fluid swapped by Young. His workplace looked like an awesome place to shoot, so I got him to bring out his car for a little shoot while he worked on my car.

Finally, the Formula Drift season was here! I was getting bored of going to car meets and shows, seeing the same thing over and over. I really wanted to do some motor sports kind of photography. This year, there were many new sights at FD, such as the Scion FRS that Ken Gushi drove, and Daigo Saito from D1GP competed and brought his Lexus SC430 mated with 3.4 liter Brian Crower stroker 2JZ-GTE. There was an in-car video on youtube of Daigo driving it on practice day and it sounded insane. Got me super excited to witness the monster in action. As soon as I arrived at the parking structure, I could smell the burning rubber and hear the screech of tires drifting. It got me giddier than a high school girl who just got asked to the prom.
Saw the Megan-racing AE86 on the way to the entrance.
Let me introduce to you THE LEGEND, Kyle Ranauro from goodfeeling and Studio. Kyle’s car has been getting a lot of recognition lately, sooner or later he’ll be too cool to let me take pictures of his cars. In San Diego I had the chance to snap some quick photos of his car. I really wanted to get some rolling shots to show you guys how insane this car looks when it’s in motion. I almost drifted into a wall because he broke my neck when we were cruising home from Autofashion. The weather was pretty relentless when we were in SD and the roads fucking suck, so we ended up just doing a small shoot in front of an abandoned Chinese restaurant. Be sure to make it out to AUTOCON because he will be showing with us along with the other goodfeeling guys aka “neck brace givers”.
