Weksos Summer Rendezvous in Santa Cruz, California ( 08.10.2010 )

It was a misty and dreary Sunday morning but that just added to the laid back vibe at the beachside Wëk’sôs Summer Rendezvous in Santa Cruz California. The slight drizzle didn’t deter the hundreds of cars that had driven in for the event. The parking area was supposed to open at 8:30, but before 8 o’clock the lot was already filling up and the line to get in was around the block.

Once inside and parked, the lot was filling up with a wide range of solid cars with quite a few standouts. Most of the time when you arrive at a show like this, car owners jump right into the cleaning duties, but the on-again, off-again mist kept all but the most dedicated from cleaning off the road grime from driving to the event. The early morning arrival time seemed to make energy drinks a popular choice for most meet participants.

It was a great idea for the organizers to pick a nice big parking lot near the beach and the boardwalk. I know that I wandered over that way to check it out and saw many of the car owners taking in some of the sights and sounds. You had your choice of all types of food and drinks, I can tell you that the Garlic Fries are way hotter than you think!

When I returned from the boardwalk more cars had arrived, parked at the back of the lot were two super clean Fairlady Z’s. They were drawing quite a crowd and I had to wait just to get a shot without a herd of people standing around taking pictures with cellphones. Another big crowd draw were the cars from Sonic Motorsports in Mountain View California, they brought some truly jaw dropping, drool worthy rides.
