SpeedStar

Dang.
After seeing this photo on the JDM EGO blog of this red S2000 from SpeedStar, out of Ontario, equipped with some rather aggressive aero, I had to go over to their website and snoop around. I found these...
Delicious MR machines, I want one. Or three.
Regardless, check out their new website, SpeedStar.com, for many more goodies like these in their galleries.

I'm pretty sure these guys are out of Texas, have been around for awhile and can be found on various forums; I dig their cars.

Peep the style, wheel selection, stance. Quality builds guys:

Spoon Sports @ Macau GP: Ichishima Crashes the NSX-R

OH NO! Look what happened on Friday.

"Although Spoon President and driver Tatsuru Ichishima managed to qualify 9th for the finals, it came at a cost. On the last corner in front of the crowd and local TV cameras he lost control and crashed the NSX-R race car. Needless to say GTChannel on-board camera captured all of the action. Ichishima-san is ok and fired up to race the finals. Only if they can get the car back into shape..."

Update:
Spoon Sports driver and president Tatsuru Ichishima finished 6th overall and 3rd in their respective Class B 2000cc to 3500cc engine category. The team started from 9th place after crashing out in qualifying Friday. The number 95 car set a best lap time of 2:50.979 where the sole Japanese entrant team managed a top speed trap of 123.21kmph over 10 laps of racing

And here are few more nice shots of the car in action from the Spoon blog:

Mass Text Meet; Chicago, Nov. 08 // Photo Coverage

With the weather forecast early in the week calling for snow over the following weekend, who would've thought a last minute, 'last dance' meet organized solely through text messaging would have such a decent turn out?

We met up pretty late on Wednesday at the docks, had to move out and regroup in a nearby parking lot, and decided to go underground for one last gathering before hitting the highways outbound. With Tim from T2Films present doing his thing, along with a few local street peoples/crews, some pretty gnarly footage should be surfacing on a DVD that you should cop sometime in the future.

Even though my equipment is rather primative, I took a decent amount of shots during the evening. Note: I do realize some turned out better than others, but I wanted to include some of the less fortunate shots regardless to get a feeling for the atmosphere that night. Enjoy:

Thanks again to everyone from Chicago Wangan, Risky Devil, D*Squad, Grip Gamblers, Street Hero, CrazuKnights, and the rest of the Chicago local fam for coming out one last time before the weather turns for the worse.

I Love Chicago, C1 Circuit Street Life.

PS - I, and a few others, have recieved a few emails regarding when the next meet is, info about it, wanting to show their cars, etc. As far as I know up to this point, the meets we've been holding have been private and invite only. But perhaps now with the knowledge of others showing interest, an organized, open-invite meet may be scheduled in the future. It's something we as a whole would have to talk about on our time and figure out, but there's no guarantees as of now.
