I had the privilege of being present for a portion of Carmageddon, an event part of the greater Turbo Weekend. The cars rammed into each other inside Maze Bank Arena on a snowy Saturday afternoon. Don\u2019t worry; none of the stage and chairs were set up on the floor level. Instead, it was filled with dirt to create an uneven ground with bumps and large mounds for jumps. Participants drove large trucks into each other in hopes of being the last operating vehicle in the arena. There were lots of damaged bumpers and other car parts scattered around after each round. Despite all the chaos, Jason Tanners commentated on each crash with his iconic voice. It was such an interesting feeling to go back and forth between the loud, roaring arena and the calm, snowy outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Carmageddon_Stella-min-728x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Carmageddon_Stella-min-728x1024.png 728w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Carmageddon_Stella-min-213x300.png 213w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Carmageddon_Stella-min-220x310.png 220w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Carmageddon_Stella-min-75x105.png 75w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Carmageddon_Stella-min.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stella taking a selfie inside the Carmageddon arena.

People wore fancy clothes with a blue and white color scheme. What\u2019s the point of dressing nicely if you aren\u2019t going to get at least one photo evidence? The Red Fox Photography photographers took photos of guests at the icy photobooth. Paired with the fancy attire, I heard people were fed food and drinks from The French Laundry while entertained by artists from Ronin Records, including Tomiko, Mugsy, and Mayumi. My friend told me it was very well organized by the SAMS team, and honestly, I would expect nothing less. It must\u2019ve been such a magical experience with the snow and all.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Winterball_Boris-min-1024x614.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Winterball_Boris-min-1024x614.png 1024w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Winterball_Boris-min-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Winterball_Boris-min-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Winterball_Boris-min-1536x921.png 1536w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Winterball_Boris-min-1000x600.png 1000w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Winterball_Boris-min-590x354.png 590w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Winterball_Boris-min-400x240.png 400w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Winterball_Boris-min-500x300.png 500w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Winterball_Boris-min-310x186.png 310w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Winterball_Boris-min-150x90.png 150w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Winterball_Boris-min.png 1602w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Boris Turgenev and Harlow Greene at the Winter Wonderland Ball photobooth.
