Event Coverage: WEKFEST 2011 (Pt. I)

February 22, 2011

Most of you guys already know Night-Import couldn't make it to the biggest car show of the year, WEKFEST. Trust me, some of our California photographers and I really wanted to make it, but things just didn't work out and we were depressed as hell. We always want to bring you guys the best coverages for major events and missing WEKFEST is a huge disappointment for us.

Well what is WEKFEST and what's the big deal about not covering it? WEKFEST is an event hosted by Weksos Industries located in San Francisco. These guys started the event since 2009 and have been bringing out the sickest, freshest, sexiest, and finest cars in Southern and Northern California. You have to be chosen to show your car so it makes the event even more legit. How crazy does this event get? Let's just say Weksos 2010 was shut down by the Fire Marshall's because of the amount of people. That pretty much explains how important and huge this event is for the year. But putting aside the story for a moment, let me tell you guys how I was able to get some coverage for our site.

Last month, our photographer Chris Sempek introduced me to a a very well-known photographer, Deejay Murdok. I contacted him today to see if we were able to share his own coverage of WEKFEST with you guys today and he gladly accepted our request. I guarantee you guys won't be disappointed and will be wanting to see more of his work.
I already looked through the Deejay's WEKFEST coverage on nwp4life and felt as if I was at the show.
Enough of my talking and straight to the photos!

Mmm..rare wheels..

There's been some teaser shots going around the net and from what I've heard, the place was so packed spectators and even medias had to wait in line for a few hours. Also, the cars were parked close to each other so if you didn't have a wide-angle lens like Deejay...good luck.
