Initial D Reunion 2 (Lafayette, CA 9AM - 2PM)
https://www.facebook.com/events/532367143468457/

WEKFEST (San Jose Convention Center
https://www.facebook.com/WEKFEST?fref=ts
http://www.wekfest.com/

Both events have videos you can watch from the last events so you can get a sense of what to expect.

9-1 at Initial D meet. 2-6 at Wekfest. Seems like an even balance. Lol

EDIT: Fiance is NOT working Wekfest, so I'll likely Initial D meet it up since my AE86 pals will be there.

Wekfest is more of an import scene and initial d reunion seems like a relaxing time checking out cars. I think I would do the initial d reunion. I have a couple friends that model so it's not a big thing for me to check out young females in less clothing unless its at the beach😁. And the cars you see at wekfest are not always daily drivers so its easier reading about them in the magazines. It wouldn't inspire me to do something to my car if I don't see it as a daily driver. IMO.

Wekfest's line is going to be crazy long all day if it was like the years before.

spitz · 06-13-2013, 02:34 PM

I'll be taking the Z to Initial D meet.

Chee-Hu · 06-13-2013, 02:38 PM

WekFest brings out all the cars you'd normally read about in magazines as stated above. It's actually a much better experience seeing them in person. I've gone almost every year except for last year and always had a blast if you don't mind waiting in line. From what I remember, the Hondas outshined as there were of them in attendance than others. It could have changed though.

Looks like that Initial D meet looks pretty cool and chill, the meets that I enjoy going to. Maybe I'll head there if other forum members will go!

bump for the Inital D Reunion 2 meet on Saturday July 27 @ 9AM.

$7 admission. Go to 86DRIVE.com to get more info. So whoever wants to do a short drive, we can meet at Castro Valley Peet's on Redwood Rd. around 8AM and drive up Redwood > Pinehurst > Canyon Rd > Moraga.

post up here or in the DRIVE thread if you'll join us, either at the park or on the drive together to get there.

denkigrve · 07-25-2013, 01:34 PM

I'm not bothering with Wekfest, there is just too much else going on this weekend. I'll be at the Initial D meet though.

You forgot the NHRA Nationals at sonoma raceway! not trollin, just where I'm gonna be

mkiisupra · 07-25-2013, 01:57 PM

Which CV starbucks? Googl-riffic shows about four along the same stretch of Castro Valley. I would like to come along and check things out if I can get away in the morning. Wish the 'devil Z' (complete with "boom turbo") lookalike was ready...

To each their own. I'm not into 1/4 mile racing. :P Now if it was Indy you could bet your ass I'd be there instead. I'm kind of peeved that I'll be out of the country for this years Indy@Sonoma, flying out 3 days before it. The same goes for the WTCC@Sonoma. It's on the day I fly again.
