The final rounds was more than intense! Stands were packed with spectators and the sound of cheers for their favorite drivers were echoing throughout the whole stadium.
Faces of participating drivers were full with confidence and enjoyment, but standing couple of feet away from them could be felt with adrenaline rushing in their body expressed by the sound of their cars.
I was not able to stay until the end, but did capture some awesome moments, so let the last coverage of Gymkhana begin!

Continuing from our last coverage, Part IV, I headed out to the pit section to check out the cars participating in the Gymkhana. This EVO on Volk TE37SL's was being worked on after its practice rounds. Noel from Canibeat (at the left) was taking a look at what was going on.

I just posted up a coverage done by our photographer Andy Nguyen, but want to continue by sharing more photos of sick cars from the Mass Appeal Car Show by MotorMavens.

Seriously, this event was off the hook.
Most of the cars I see at events are familiar, but this show was different.
I would say about 30% of the cars I've seen were new and fresh.
After the qualifying rounds, most of the drivers were chilling at their booths and I caught Matt Powers talking with his fans.
But before I start off with the pit section, showing some pics of the drivers and their cars,
let me take you guys to the front entrance where there were food stands, vendors, and displayed cars.

Instead of taking photos alone, walking around and taking photos with another photographer is much better and less boring. Andy Nguyen, our site photographer, tagged along to take some drifting shots at Gymkhana. Although he left early, before the final rounds, he took some epic shots during the practice and qualifying rounds.

Here's the Turbocharger on a Scion tC. My card can literally fit into the compressor wheel.
