Last weekend was the annual Scooter Block Party. It was one epic ride. Us NERD’s (North East Ruckus Dude’s) came out strong to represent! This year they switched it around and made a trip up the Hudson river on the NJ side. For more photos click HERE

Is it me or did it feel like 2002? For those of you who missed out, it truly felt like we were back in time. Remember those days of waking up early all excited to get some drag racing in. For even the more die-hard racers like myself, I would take the trek out the night before to make sure I was the first in line. Well, it felt just like that last sunday at Honda Day. We arrived at the track to find out people have been camping out from the day before. 6am felt like 10am with the amount of people coming in eager to setup and prep their cars. Highlights of the event include the Yosolo/1320 Performance All Motor, Competition Clutch Unlimited FWD, car show and the infamous Project Honda give away. More after the jump!

Now this was one of my favorites at the car show.  A really clean RSX with a lot of JDM goodies. Check out that front bumper, a legit backyard special bumper! I heard the car driving around it sounded mean.

Judging from the stands we still have a huge Honda fan base still out there today. Good to know that the Honda scene is staying alive!

With the new k-series engine platform companies such as Drive Shaft Shop, Hybrid Racing, etc. have been able to put together parts and kits to place a k-series into any Honda chassis platform. It’s still pricey but well worth it.

Check out those wheels! CCW an american wheel company that produces wheels for corvettes and other domestics cars seemed to hop on the band wagon to create a great multi-piece wheel.

It’s all about the “Wire Tuck” . Here was have NRG Racing still proving that the b-series motors can still put down the power!

Honda Day isn’t Honda Day without it’s lifestyle component. DJAY JUNG from The Elite Camp is tearing up the turntables while the the b-boys do their thing!

Atco Raceway was packed as you can see! The crowd stayed this big through out the day by the stage while MC Slick through out a wide-array of free stuff courtesy of the vendors that were present.

The Makoa Scooters crew even represented by bringing out their Honda Rucks! Judging from this picture, this is not your typical Honda Ruckus.

Here we have Timmy Grey from TGR, seems like he’s getting interviewed by one of his sponsors. Looking forward to this!

Here we have the car that everyone wanted and unfortunately only one could take it home. Now what was interesting about this give away was that 10 at random people were chosen and then they had to pick a key that would hopefully start this Certified Racing K-series swapped Honda Civic EG. After the 10 people were picked the lined up in the order that they were called to go into the car and start her up. The first person to get in the car to start up was the winner. The crowd was AMAZED! Well, congrats to the winner!

Honda Day Final Results

Just to mix things up again, this week we have a Honda Ruckus. Okay, its not flush I know, but it does have… hella offset?!? I just wanted an excuse to blog about a Ruckus haha. Anyways, we all know that offset is everything and when it comes to running a fatty tire on a Ruckus, well you have to offset Everything to make it work. I caught this sweet Ruckus at meet/cruise up in the Bay last year and it’s one sweet ride. After going to this meet, I ended up purchasing one of my own after seeing how much fun they are.
Want to know more about these sweet scooters?? Well come check out our forum and join in on the talk!

Super Street Magazine: BOWLS Scion xB Truck from BOWLS on Vimeo.

Im sure by now, you’ve seen this truck in Super Street or in pictures from SEMA, here is a short behind the scenes video of it being cut in half, extended and put back together. Its amazing what can be built in such a short amount of time.

Make sure to check out BOWLSLA for the latest gear and Ruckus parts!

I was thumbing through the internet and stumbled on a old pic from the old site. This photo bring back memories and also reminds me that I gotta get my Ruckus ready for the spring time! Check out www.canibeat.com for some dope pics!

As I was thinking about spring time, I wanted to bring up a SpeedLounge.com friend and member, IWANNAGOFAST aka Bobby. I met bobby last year at Honda Day in Atco, NJ. Bobby made the trek up from Delaware. He has one of the nicest modded Ruckus on the East Coast. Unfortunately last year Bobby was involved in an accident and had severe head trauma. The N.E.R.D. crew has been getting regular updates from his family and he seems to be doing better day by day. SpeedLounge.com send our thoughts and continued prayers for a speedy recovery!
