Supercar weekend
What A weekend to remember, I went to back to back supercar shows and they were more than worth it. Saturday I went to the Chitown Exotic Car Group show at Sonny Acre Farms in West Chicago. Then Sunday I went to Chicago Autoclub West Supercar Sunday event in Oak Brook. To say I’m exhaused would be a massive understatement. Oh did I forget to mention that I also went and took some photos and filmed some rollers on some new equiptment I got as well. Let’s break down this weekend and see what I got into…
Saturday started off bright and early in Barrington at this farm we use to shoot at. I wanted to dial in some new equipment I got (more on that later). I met a few friends at shot some photos and video, after we went to CECG’s Supercars on the Farm event at Sonny Acre farms in West Chicago, filming rollers on our way there. we arrived shortly after the start time of the event and it was already packed. The event was a huge success, tons of cars and even more people. This was one of the best representations of the car community here in Illinois. Definitely an event you wouldn’t want to miss. This event was free to the public and had multiple sponsors with their various booths/stands it was nice to see that, there was quite a few cars in attendance of varying background from Supercars, to JDM cars and classic American cars. Bravo to the event organizers I seriously give this event a 9/10, my only area of opportunity was parking for both show cars and event goers was a little rough, otherwise great job and great event,
After the event me and my friends went to grab some food locally at a restaurant called Augustino's Rock & Roll Deli and Grill. The food was decent Id give it a 7/10 I ate a Chicken Cesar wrap and loved that it came with a salad as well. It was a blistering Hot day and we all were already cooked from being out since the morning. We ate had a few laughs before filming some more rollers on our way to the next event.
After lunch me and my friends went to a meet in Addison called JDM vs Domestic. I’m not sure who the host was but it was at Blue line bar and grill it started off as a pretty cool event they had 2 Djs playing food and drinks were available and they had a raffle as well. there was a good turnout and packed their small lot pretty quickly which then overflowed into a neighboring lot and Forrest preserve lot. There was a good selection of cars here as well and things were going good until people started acting like complete idiots. It quickly became somewhat of a takeover as people began doing pulls and burnouts on the street in front of the event then eventually donuts and street drifting behavior began which is unfortunate because it was going good until all that happened thankfully no one got hurt but then a fight almost broke out. The police came deep to try to calm the situation of reckless driving and behavior that’s around the time I went to Strats. I’d give this event a 5/10 things were great until it started to become a takeover, luckily they got it under control eventually.
Sunday for me started off early I was selected to shoot photos for the Supercar Sunday event in Oakbrook Hosted by Chicago Autoclub West. I took my little brother with me to help me film some Behind the scenes stuff and to hang out. The weather was better than Saturday it was much cooler and tolerable. We arrived early to the event and I shot photos of cars rolling into the event and setting up. I did photos, video, drone and more at the event. We had a great time and chatted with a few vendors as well. I got to see quite a few cars and the event was also packed. the setting was a very nice hotel in Oak Brook it had very scenic views. The vibes were there and the place was packed with people and cars. There was quite a bit of shade at this event which helped with the heat that was very nice. I’d give this event a 7/10 it was packed there was tons of cars and things were great this was another example of how beautiful the car culture is here in Illinois. the only negative situation that occurred was there was a few reckless drivers causing some issues trying to race on the street next to the event.
After leaving the Supercar Sunday event I took my brother home and ate some lunch before heading out to Cermack Plaza for a lowrider meet in Berwyn. the meet had waves of being packed and empty there was a lot of beautiful lowriders in attendance. Id give this meet a 6/10 there was a decent ammount of cars and we eventually went on a cruise with the lowriders and I filmed some rollers.
