This past Sunday, I was able to make it over to the Fatlace open house at their paddock in San Mateo. I had heard about this event when I was living in SoCal and was looking forward to it ever since I moved up to San Francisco bay a few months ago. This particular open house was different than others I’ve been to in past in that it was also a clearance sale for Fatlace. The sale started at 9am which I was planning to get to early but ended up sleeping through my alarm so I didn’t get up until about 8am. Editor Kain Chau was also visiting the bay area with some friends so we met up and headed over to the Paddock.
By the time we arrived at the paddock, the line was pretty long. Well actually, it didn’t look that long but the wait was about 2 hours until we were able to get inside the warehouse to do our shopping. Even though we waited for quite a while, there as surprisingly quite a bit of merchandise left for use to rummage through. At $10 dollars for tees and $20 for hoodies, it was a pretty substantial discount.
While Kain waited in line, I took the opportunity to go around and take pictures of the cars that showed up. There weren’t many in the morning but as the day progressed, more cars rolled up and found parking either on the street adjacent to Fatlace or on the streets of the neighborhood surrounding it.

At some point, I made my way back to the line and got inside to make some purchases. It was then time for the BBQ to start.

Just want to give a big shout out to the guys at Fatlace for throwing such an awesome event. There were a lot of great cars and people. The sale was really dope as well. Thanks again for BBQ for everyone and setting up the RC drift track too.
