Part 1 was the drive down, Part 2 was the night party at the hotel, and the final part in this three part series of pictures taken by Amy Berardinucci during her 2007 Orangeball Rally experience shows the meat and potatoes of the weekend long trip: Waterfest 13. Check out some of the vendors and those awesome ice sculptures back during the 2007 show.

Continuing from the last thread, these pictures show what the night scene was like our very first year out in the wild. I distinctly remembering fire alarms being set off at 4am in our hotel and the whole building being evacuated while the fire department and county police searched it for signs of fire 
The poor families that had no idea what what they were in store for when we registered had the night of their life.

I thought it would be funny to address all of those who are hating on the proposed Orangeball V-Neck T-Shirts. Haters gonna hate!

2007 was the first year that Orangeball members took their long journey from Montreal to Waterfest. Being the first year that we planned the event was planned we had many notable hiccups such as a 12 hour drive (the ride normally takes 6-7 hours), heavy police presence and more than a few wrong turns. Amy Berardinucci came with her brother Tyler to Waterfest with us and took a heap of pictures that she’s so graciously made available for our publication.

Last saturday we made our way to Unitronic’s headquarters in Laval to check out the release of the 2009 edition of the Orangeball Rally DVD.
For those who don’t know, essentially the Orangeball rally is an organized drive to Englishtown, New Jersey which plays host to one of the biggest VW and Audi car shows in the world named ‘Waterfest’. Unitronic is a company that specializes in performance software for Volkswagen group cars so they partner up with Orangeball to provide an unbelievable experience for all involved. The results are filmed and then turned into a fun short-film every year. Check out the promo for the 2008 rally video here. Obviously, we were excited to see the 2009 film and Unitronic’s facilities…
Upon arrival, we were greeted by a thoroughly modern, clean and sleek reception area with a tastefully modified MarkIV R32 Golf staring us in the face. After admiring the R32 for a few more minutes we kept moving into the actual shop component of the facility.
The adjectives modern, clean and sleek were just as applicable here. The attention to detail was apparent from the moment we walked in. It was obvious by the state of their environment that the guys running the place cared greatly about Unitronic as a package not just a solution. After meeting Mike S, one of the owners, that passion became all too clear.
It’s amazing how you can tell from the moment you meet someone whether or not they take pride in what they do, and from the moment I met Mike, I sure could tell he was proud to run Unitronic. Rightfully so. As he gave me an in depth tour of the facility, all the little details; the quality of the furniture, the quality of the lightening, the overall cleanliness and design really add up to make Unitronic stand apart from all other car facilities I’ve ever encountered.
A peak into the engine dyno room summarizes what you can expect from Unitronic:
Everyone then gathered for the main event. Mike gave a short presentation on Unitronic: who they are, where they come from and what they do which was succeeded by Orangeball organizer Rick giving a short introduction to the 2009 film. I won’t give details on the film (ok fine, it was really good), but what I will do is direct you here.
The VW community in Quebec really is amazing. Filled with people I would call ‘just really good guys’. Orangeball and Unitronic are built around it, and it shows. There’s a sense of community and pride that is really rare these days. Everyone in attendance seemed to have a really great night, as did I and the rest of the epic-velocity.com team. There was just one little glitch… I walked away wanting a VW.

We all had a great time at Unitronic’s new shop in Laval, Quebec for the premiere of the 2009 Orangeball movie. We had a great time thanks to Hype Energy Drink for their supply of drinks for the 40+ attendees of the premiere.
Mike Z. drew a crowd as he showed off his new engine dyno by dynoing a big turbo 2.0TFSI motor delivering nearly 400 horsepower at the crank. Mike S. gave everyone a tour of the facility and then we started the speeches thanking the members and everyone who showed at the premiere. The movie was met with great applause and it couldn’t have happened without the participation of the countless members who rolled down to Jersey with us throughout the years. Big thanks to everyone involved!

The camera used to film the 2009 movie randomly took pictures of things while it was being used so I decided to upload those pictures onto the Orangeball website. Take a look at all those photos!
