The man himself Mr. Eddie Kim hard at work as always.
Me 'hard' at work ;)
Tons of people showed up for the event, who wouldn't want to drive a race car on a pro made race track?!
While I was in the O.C. I got to go to the infamous Roscoe's for chicken and biscuits-it was bomb, duh.
Dez and his roomate Travis took me to watch the UFC fight on Main St in Hunnington Beach
Awesome bar, and great fight!
After we broke down the event, the whole racing family went out to a wonderful meal
Dez and his Snuggie. Legit, it was a real Snuggie.
Trav sleeping. Why are boys sleeping so cute?!


I met Eddie and Dez a couple weeks ago when they were out in Vegas for a car show. Eddie asked me to come out this weekend to help with the Mini event, I had so much fun with them in Vegas, I of course said yes! But it wasn't until I was writting this blog post that i realized how prolific Eddie and the shit she's involved with are. Like read this blurb:
"The shop (Dynamic) has since grown into one of the largest distributing and tuning facilities in the country. The list of former Dynamic employees, cohorts, accomplices, and all-around lackeys reads like a virtual who's who of today's industry leaders. Peep the list: Cosworth's Eric Hsu; A'PEXi USA founder, Toshi Hayama; DSport magazine's Michael Ferrara and Robert Choo; Import Tuner magazine's founder, Ed Eng; Prelude guru, Aries Dionisio; Omni Power's Steve "Omni" Rothenbuehler; Design Craft Fab's Gary Castillo; Sakata Motorsports' Naoto Negishi; and, of course, at least one guy from Honda Tuning mag-the list goes on. Dynamic has been busy tuning some of the top racing teams' vehicles, conducting testing for magazine geeks, and even hosting a big-wig industry executive every now and then for the day. And after 17 years, there's no sign of any of that stopping. You might say that Dynamic is the tuning world's crystal ball. Want a glimpse as to what record might be broken next or who tomorrow's movers and shakers might be? Just look inside the shop." -Honda Tuning Magazine

What an honor to be hanging with people doing such big things! You can also check out their blog Gruppe S Engineering. Stay posted, because this isn't the last with Eddie and Dynamic Autosports!! :)
