EVO Nationals + JDMST EOMM

Last weekend was JDMST's meet held in conjunction with the EVO Nationals meet at Eastern Creek and it was a great day with a bit of everything for everyone. There were EVOs out all day on the track putting down some very fast lap times, then there were more EVOs on the skid pan providing some very good entertainment, then there was the Show 'n Shine with some very great cars on show.
I had a great day out at Eastern Creek, I finally dusted off my camera and took it out for the first time in a while and I was sharing it with a friend all day so I can't take credit for all the shots but I can for this one. I'm quite happy I can still pull off some half decent action shots like this one.
For most of the day I was enjoying the quality of cars that were at the show 'n shine and just socialising with everyone.
As usual Bab's Hakosuka always draws the attention of spectators, and so it should because it took out the winner for best overall car at the event. Congratulations Babs!
I decided to enter my car too (to get a good parking spot), and I don't think it has looked this good in a while even though we got the lip on the night before. I know I wasn't going to win but it was definitely not a bad feeling seeing people stare at my car and checking it out when I had it parked on display.
It also gave me a chance to pull out my BMX and cruise it around the different parts of Eastern Creek and it was a good idea because I would have dreaded walking the long walks to the different points of the track.
There were some very high quality cars that showed up too like this S15 front S14 Silvia. All I can say is that this thing is built with one purpose in mind and that is to go fast.
My good friend's new R33 GTR was immaculate, being an ex Targa Tasmania car it was definitely of high quality too.
Some rare cars popped up too including this Cyborg Mirage, for those that don't know this is like the Type R of Mirages and it definitely looked good and for those who knew what it was it definitely made them drool a little.
This has got to be my favourite car at the meet, the EVO Wagon. I kept coming back to this car throughout the day because it was so damn hot! I've been having a things for wagons especially seeing all the nicely done ones in Japan and even though I've spotted a couple of these in Japan this was the first time I got to see one up close and my oh my it was impressive. My girlfriend agreed that this would be the ultimate family car.
I did learn something on the day though and that is that I want one of these now.
