#780closer

[uautoknow]

This past thanksgiving long weekend (Canadian), the Edmonton automotive community flocked to the Yellowhead Casino’s overflow lot to bid farewell to the summer season.

With weather marginally better than that of last year (No snow this time around!), the turnout was excellent. 

I’m always proud of our scene when the #780closer rolls around. It really is a testament to the resiliency of our city, and the community connection that the tuners residing in it have. Most of the people who turn out, won’t see each other until the opener - and that’s fine, because it’s the mutual love of cars that bring us all together.

A number of Spec-D drifters managed to make their way to the meet. Their rat-rod racecars always manage to impress. From Mazda RX-7′s to Nissan 180SX’s, the stripped down cage cars make the biggest statement in any setting. Resident commentator and photographer Tony Koch was present to capture a few of the series regulars hardparked in the lot.
