[COVERAGE] Carlisle Performance & Style ’15

July 31st, 2015 by Elusive Media

Carlisle 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!!

Tuner Evolution

July 22nd, 2011 by Elusive Media

After a few year break, Tuner Evolution returns for 2011 with a great showing of some of the hottest cars, motorcycles, and models. This show had a mix for everyone one, Euro, Domestic, SUV, VIP; all touching with the performance and/or style setups. Tuner Evolution also kept the day busy with the Hooters Wing Eating and a 5lb burrito full of hot sauce competition. If food wasn’t your thing, the Flatland BMX competiton, RC Drift demo, or Motorcycle Stunts was another thing to keep you busy between looking at all the 2 and 4 wheel rides. As the sun started to set, the main stage put on some live music; from Rap to Rock, they had about everything covered. Mekno, The Riot, The 90s, Paradise Movement, Chantz Kacey, Cidy, The Substance, Tommorrow’s Yesterday, & Phene kept the music going til the bikini contest started and then finally the award ceremony.

One of Camelbacks annual events, Contests try and skim across the pond without crashing…sounds simple enough. Most people that attempt this  try and add some flare; costumes, tricks, doubles, backwards, …etc. Pretty much anything goes that will get the crowd excited. This year is was a comfortable 70f and sunny along with the annual parking lot party. Along with some photos,  i recorded some of the good crashes… enjoy!
