Spocom NorCal Recap

Spocom NorCal was held Saturday, August 1st at Club Auto Sport in San Jose, CA. This was our first time attending this show. The only thing they could have done better was have a sign for the Will Call line. The main line to get in was pretty short when we got there about 10 minutes before the show opened. It was a nice, sunny day in San Jose. Overall it was a nice chilled event. Not as big as Evolution. Check out our slideshow below for pictures from the show! Our instagram also has pics from the show and may be slightly different than the ones in our slideshow. Enjoy!
