T.A.S.R. Coverage Part One: Best Team

Jul 12, 2009

Tuners Against Street Racing went off for its third year without a hitch and Stance Is Everything was there to cover the event. Since I took so many photos at the show I am going to break the coverage up into two parts. Part one is an in depth pictorial of the torontomazda3.ca crew which took home the best team trophy.

Pre meet shots
The Mazda crew had members from all around the GTA so there were two initial pre meet spot locations. I was at the west end spot where we waited for the east siders before rolling into the show as a unit.

White hatches are popular. — White hatches are common amongst the tm3 crew

Each hatch is different than that before it

This reminds me of one of those spot the differences game — Captioning these reminds me of one of those spot the difference games

A few sedans came with the East Siders as well — A few sedans came with the east siders as well

Each sedan was more modified than the last

The meeting spot was a preview of what was to come

The Tent
Having a tent at show is a great way to create shade and memories it was chaos under here.

Tall tales of Vegas or Amish people I forget — My reasons for this shot are obvious, Broli was telling an interesting story

The show lineup

Since TM3 had over thirty cars the middle area of the show was almost entirely Mazda 3s it made for some nice group shots

Some of the thirty plust cars TM3 had out representing — The opposite end of the same side of the TM3 lineup

Three to the power of three — The far end of the TM3 lineup opposite side

Needed to get higher ground to see the show area dominated by Mazdas — A higher vantage point was needed to show area dominated by Mazdas

Individual Car photos
I tried to get a shot of every member that showed up, but I know doubt missed a few, sorry to those I missed.

Since this show as about raising money for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of peel stock 3s came out to support — Since this show as about raising money for Big Brothers and Big Sisters the number of mods did not matter

This car had a few subtle purple accents

I have never seen angel eyes in this color before pretty original

The 2010s are basically fresh of the lot

Runner up best Speed3 winner — First place Mazda speed3

I am not show how Chris managed to get his car so clean between all the organizing he put to pull the team out for this event

Black/red color scheme, tasteful rims, lip, drop can't go wrong

Tein coilovers help bring this sedan closer to the ground — Tein coil overs help bring this sedan closer to the ground

Winner of Best Mazda3 — Best Mazda3 Runner up

This color is beautiful and Rx-8 rims suit the Mazda3 very well

White is still shinin — Pearl White still shining

The more I look at this car the more modifications I see

No time for losers cause we are the champions of the world

A big thanks goes out to Chris for organizing a bunch of rag tag torontomazda3 members into the winning team, Ami for providing the shirts, and everyone who showed up and helped tm3 alone raise over three hunderd dollars for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Peel

Nice pictures! However Joe’s car was not the winner but 2nd place Mazda3. The winner was John’s turbo 3 hatch that was in the row behind us. Between the red and blue cars with the hood up in the over head shot.
