When WekFest brings their tour to the New Jersey Expo and Convention Center, they bring with them only the highest standard of quality builds that represent the East Coast. There’s a reason WekEast is also known as the “East Coast Elites”. So when Wekfest rolls around, you pay attention.
Now in it’s third year, Wekfest did not disappoint. Ride after ride after ride, the East Coast representatives were out in full force putting on another awesome display for the crowds and the world watching through print, online and social media. For our coverage, we decided to switch things up a bit and focus on not just the beautiful cars on display, but just some of the people behind the scenes that make things happen. It’s their work that fuels the passion for someone else to do something amazing. We look forward to seeing that translate into more impressive builds for the future.
These plaques represent more than any dollar sign. It represents hard work, determination, passion and inspiration. If we didn’t get your award-winning photo here, sorry about that, but your work speaks for itself and for that we truly appreciate it.
