A Look Back: Blox Open House 2011 (Part 1)
Photography & Words by John Zhang for Canibeat.com
Here's the long awaited Canibeat coverage of the second annual Blox Open House event that we actually did attend. We've just been too busy to edit and post photos. A lot of things are going on in the back end that will be worth the wait. We guarantee it. Anyway, the turn out at this event was very good for a norcal meet since the area is a bit more congested and compact than say socal. It was my first Blox event so I didn't know what to expect. I would say that it's pretty similar to an Eibach meet quality-wise. However, you can be the judge of that, so check out the photos in the rest of the post.

A Look Back: Wekfest Los Angeles (Part 1)
Photography & Words by John Zhang for Canibeat.com
Everyone would agree that it's always better late than never right? Yes, that's right, we did attend Wekfest Los Angeles in Long Beach, however, due to time constraints and scheduling, all the photographers that attended were not able to get their coverage out until now. This will be part one of what's to come in the near future. Anyway, just like Wekfest San Francisco this year, the turn out was huge and the quality of cars was amazing. So enough with the text, we'll let the photos do the talking.

Random Pic(k): Jeffery Chin Photography
Photography by Jeffery Chin Canibeat started with just a few friends who shared a passion for cars and quality photography. Just like many of you, we spent our free time surfing forums and checking out our favorite photographers on Flickr. Although we have grown away from our days of posting random finds and moved more towards exclusive features from our great team of exclusive Canibeat photographers, we will always have a place to showcase photos and videos from other up and coming photographers and videographers! With that said it has been a while since I have posted one of my "Random Pic(k)'s" so in the middle of working on some new features I wanted to showcase some work from Jeffrey Chin, a talented young photographer from Alberta, Canada.

As much as I love road trips, red eye flights, and traveling to shows across the country with friends, there are a handful of local events here in my home state of New Jersey that I look forward to every year. One of my favorite weekends of the year is Round 4 of Formula D at Wall Stadium. In years past we were only able to attend the main event on Saturday, this year we wanted to bring you coverage of not only qualifying but today's practice session also!Jun 16, 2011
HRE Wheels Open House 2011
Photography & Words by John Zhang for Canibeat.com
I was generously invited a few weeks ago to the HRE Wheels Open House event. Shooting higher end cars is a rare occurrence for me so I took it as a great opportunity to shoot some nicely modified cars. The turn out was great and the quality of cars was even better. The front, side, and back lots of HRE headquarters were filled with amazing automobile machinery including the inside of the warehouse. Talk about a turnout, I was just amazed throughout the day!

This past weekend Round 3 of Formula Drift 2011 was held at Palm Beach International Raceway. This was the first time Formula Drift has been at this marvelous venue and it was quite the perfect day for it. The turnout, drifting, and show cars at the Slammed Society showcase (by Fatlace) were all on point that weekend. Here is our coverage by both Jose SanLuis and Hector Chacon out of Florida. Enjoy guys… see you all next weekend in New Jersey!May 24, 2011

It is the 1 year aniversery to It's JDM yo! This weekends event was downright spectacular. The majority of the crowd from hellaflush left fairly early for a long, and packed cruise to jdm yo. Within minutes the parking was so packed it was nearly a mile to get to the event on foot. There were some amazing cars at this show! A bunch of us from Canibeat met up to cover it as a team, we hope you enjoy it! :)

Photography John Zhang & Marcus Cooke / Words by Marin Nelson for Canibeat.com
We being more of th e adventurous type decided to go on a journey to Hellaflush 8, and on all possible days as it was suppose end of the world! (cough: May 21st 2011). Though the messiah didn't show up and destroy the earth but the turnout was spectacular! Parking was a mess, not due to organization by any means but due to the fact of the mass quantity of cars that showed up so quickly.May 20, 2011

Photography John Zhang & Cristian Loza / Words by John Zhang for Canibeat.com
This past weekend Canibeat tried to hit up as many car events as they could. Some of the guys even flew out from the east coast to the west coast for some coverage. We've been busy. One of the last meets was the Rotiform Sunday Funday car meet, which featured an array of European cars and even some JDM cars too. In the end, our good friends at Rotiform even let us tour their warehouse and office space, so check it out!
