[COVERAGE] Carlisle Performance & Style ’15
July 31st, 2015 by Elusive MediaCarlisle Performance & Style returns after a 14 month break. The show has always been on mother’s day weekend, but with the absents of Bike Fest, Performance & Style had an easy spot in July to fill it in. Plus over the past few year, having P&S in early May, weather was always questionable; with the last few years cold and rainy. While we didn’t have an rain free weekend, Saturday did have a heavy down pour that lasted about 60 minutes. The rain did give a nice relief from the heat, as it was in the 90s. Performance & Style changed the way the exhaust competition worked this year. Instead of every other show I know, the car sits in place and revs, while this event had the driver drive off from a standstill. While I think it worked pretty well, they could of used a bit more room to get the rpm’s higher in 2nd gear before breaking to turn around. Look forward to see how they modify this next year. As past years, burnout is the crowd pleaser and they seemed to have a record amount of entries of fans that wanted to abuse their car for the title. Here’s a first after all the years, a surprise proposal. The first burnout contestant and the announcer had an “issue” with the insurance papework, and in the middle of getting it all sorted out, the guy gets on one knee in front of the whole grandstand, and asks his girlfriend, “Will you marry me”? …. Well done! And Congrats to both!! They also had 2 round of the beauty contest along with NICOFest drifting on the auto-x all day long. P&S also has a strong showing of car clubs, so between all that, you had your weekend full!!

[COVERAGE] Tuner Evolution
August 7th, 2014 by Elusive MediaTuner Evolution returns for a second year to its new location just north of downtown Philadelphia. The Tuner Evolution team kept what was already working and brought back Break Dancing(Hit the Breaks”, a 2v2 dance battle by UDEF) and Bikini completion along with the hottest cars in the east coast. The always popular model lounge also returns with top and “up and coming” models from around the nation. Tho this show may have started out as an East Coast show, with its new location it has gained in popularly and you will see many cars that drove from afar. I spoke with one club from Chicago and they pick one show out east(per year) to attend and Tuner Evolution was their top pick. Tuner Evolution also had amazing(seriously) raffle prizes, one of them being a PS4 and a large 46″+ LCD TV…lets hope the winner didn’t come in a convertible! Vendors were also scattered around the expo center, like Tragic Genius or Nostalgic Grains. Some vendors were there to promote other car events, like the Gumball Meet that takes place at Lime Rock at the end of the month. This car show bring more than just cars and that’s why we all keep coming back each year! If you’ve missed the last 8yrs of the show, well… always next year!

[COVERAGE] Tuner Evolution
August 5th, 2013 by Elusive MediaPreviously in York, PA, Tuner Evolution grew to the point where it needed to find a new location and the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center was it. With more room and all in doors, weather would not be a factor. Besides all the great vendors, cars, and model lounge to keep ya busy for hours on end, Tuner Evolution bring something different than any other show; AM Flatland Circuit BMX Competition along with a Breakdance 1v1 Dance Battle competition. TJIN Edition Road Sideshow was also in attendance showing off their recent builds, a Chevy Camaro and a Toyota Tocoma. If that wasn’t enough, Driftsylvania RC Drift demo and competition and the popular bikini contest with a $500 prize finished off the night at the event! Hats off to everyone that showed up and made this show possible, amazing time and way to step it up from years past.
Enjoy the photos!

The 2009 Carlisle Bike Fest will mimic the thousands of bikes that will be
parked on the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds, July 17-19, in two ways: diversity and excitement. Bike
Fest was created to be an event for riders of V-twins, metrics, sport bikes, choppers, custom
cruisers, and fighters – both import and domestic – and everything in between; if your passion is
motorcycles, Bike Fest will have a weekend full of excitement to enjoy, no matter what you ride.
The excitement that goes with a ride that you will feel at Bike Fest comes from a schedule jampacked
with industry displays and test rides, judged competitions, giveaways, special guests,
live music, stunt shows, charity rides and family activities that will keep both the bikers who are
riding and the guests who are walking, entertained from start to finish.
