What A Nice Day!

Akuma Motorsports decided to throw a meet this past Saturday, 11/28/2009, to take advantage of the great weather we had here.

It was 12:30 pm,  Evan (our fabricator/tech) came up with the idea of throwing a spontaneous so we decided to post it up on all the forums we were part of. Although the meet was small and last minute, some of our closest friends/customers still decided to drop by. This meet was more of a “hey come hang out” kinda of thing, while John,Evan, and Doug kept on wrenching on Akuma’s Shop STI. Which by the way, gave its first roar with the new motor in it. These pictures were taken by our good friend Pete so I wanted to thank him personally for that. Stay tuned for more details about our “Pre-Christmas” Cruise/Meet. Enjoy!
