Japan EVENTS!!!
 

OK lets try and keep this as an ongoing list of Events and or event ideas. I will list some idea or upcoming events. If anyone has another event or idea to add to the list then please copy the most recent list, and repaste it with your idea or event at the bottom. As events pass we will remove them from the lists. lets try to keep them in a timeline order as in upcoming events at the top and events in a couple months or weeks closer to the bottom.

WORD!

Ideas

Mt. Tsukuba - Meet at midnight or slightly before, run or spectate for a couple hours then head down the Mountain to grab a late night meal or early breakfast depending on finishing time.

Daikoku Futo - Meet in the Parking area Grab something for dinner or lunch depending on meet time then go to hakone, or Fuji area.

Drift/Grip day- Nikko Circuit, Drift 3 classes/levels, grip 2 classes/ levels. Run time is about 15 minutes each period generally.

7-7-07/ RX-7 day - 90% chance of it being held at Tsukuba circuit again this year. We could meet at Mt. Tsukuba the night before drive then go to sleep and go to Tsukuba Circuit in the morning. There are plenty of Hotels in Tsukuba city that we could get rooms at.

No Navigation Rally: I think this would be really fun in Japan. No maps, no in car navi. We meet at one spot and from there drive/race to random rally points. It would take to long to explain this now but that is the basic idea.

Parts swap meet: I figure that with us all being car lovers and most likely many of us having car friends we could get a decent size group of people together to swap, sell, trade, and or give away unwanted parts. This could be both convenient for members with no space to store parts as well as profitable to those who want to see the parts before buying them and or bargaining with thge prices. Also a good reason for us all to get together and shoot the shit about each others cars etc...




At this point the only Event I know of to plan is the RX-7 day. I have mentioned before that Tokyo Auto Salon is in the process of being phased out or turned into a VIP show. Option Video and Magazine are pushing a new car show called something like "exciting car show" (:lol: @ name) it will be a summertime event most likely june or july I believe. Anyhow that is another potential event that can be scheduled.

Please comment or add to the list if you like!

Tomorrow is Tokyo Auto Salon as most of you know.
Tomorrow night some people are heading out to Daikoku futo around 8. (friday night)

I'll be at the Tokyo Auto Salon on Saturday. Haven't been previously, but sounds like a good way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

I just moved to Japan a couple weeks ago. Lovin it so far. Awesome cars just everywhere. I live in NAF Atsugi in the Kanagawa prefecture. I'm looking forward to seeing some racing. When is somebody going to an event. I'm ready to go see some Time Attack at Tsukuba or some racing out at Fuji. Whos down? And does anybody live close to where I'm at? I don't have a car as of now. I owned a FC TurboII a few years back. I'm looking to get a FD sometime soon. Right now I'm just getting by, very well, with the train.

so is there anything happening mid april? I will be in the tokyo area if there are any meets going on

Hi All

New 95 FD owner and living in Tomisato, Japan just near the Narita Airport. Have RE_Amamiya just down the road from my work right here in Tomisato.

Love to hear about events and meets here in Japan. Looking at going to the May Super GT race out near Mt. Fuji

Hey guys! I just thought it would be nice to organize a meet at Daikoku Futo. I go there alot, mostly with my GT-R buddies, but I would be down for an RX7 meet there too! Hope we can make this work!

hey GTR-guy, I met you along with neal ages ago, I had the silver rx7. I always plan to come to the GTR meets but there always seems to be something in the way. Im going to try to get down on the 10th.

It was terrible to hear about your skyline. When i heard about the new FD I planned on letting you know about this forum, but you found it anyway :lol:

Yeah, I remember you! Lyle or Kyle wasn't it? The GT-R thing really sucks, but hey, life goes on! And I'm really enjoying the FD so far! I'll try to make it on the 10th, but I'll be working until 9pm in Yokosuka. I just hope I can change my schedule somehow! If not we can always meet on another day!

Hey dudes, haven't posted on here for a while.

Not much happening hey.

Hi,

Im going on holiday to japan in july this year. If you guys know of any rotary related events in july it would be interresting to go have a look. Or if you know of any shops i could get some memerobilia for my 7..

It depends on where you are going in Japan.

Tokyo area has lots of good places to stop, Knightsports, RE-Amemiya, etc.

Hi,

Anyone further south, like Hiroshima area? I'm in Iwakuni about 45min south of Hiroshima. I would like to attend some of the bigger events but the only thing close that I know of is just south of Osaka in Okayama which I've attened a GT race and D1 competetion there. But that's about a 4hr drive. I sure wished I lived closer to Tokyo as that is where all the fun is.

Josh

Some quick future events off the top of my head.
D1GP at Odaiba April 14th & 15th
