Nice find. I really wanted to find all the racing that most import owners say was occuring in Japan. Fact is, its not. I looked and looked, asked just about everybody I met or knew there and nobody new anything about it. I tried pretty hard, but found nothing. Some wicked cars, but the Japanese are so respectful of law enforcement and the penalty is so harsh that I can see why its not occuring. Tks for the info William

GL on selling your car. Not sure why, but I think I have a pretty good idea. Perhaps you and Ed should chat

Yah, that police vehicle in the video just drove thru once and that whole parking lot cleared out. The Police didnt even have to speak 1 word

That rest area used to be a regular haunt for me when I lived in Japan. A bunch of guys from the Navy base in Yokosuka had better/faster cars than some of the big name tuners who would show up on Fri/Saturday nights.

Street racing in Japan used to be a 'dont ask dont tell' kind of thing. I think the only reason the police cracked down around Yokohama anyways is because of a bunch of young servicemen/dependents acting too stupid in the host country and wrecking their cars in the process.

With more and more tracks opening up to the public, its easier to get seat time now too.

I sure do like the way that c-money and everyone else at SB handles themselves and their rides. I honestly can say my attendance has not been exemplary of how I feel about this crew (save for those who have reverted back to the yesteryears and have put on bow ties... you know I had to!! sorry guys) but nonetheless I think its great to sit and chill at a SB and when you leave get a bit of play, have some cruises organized with "spirited driving" and MOST (save for the real shiny rides...) of those still take it to the track as well. I know it was still popular when I lived in Japan in 2000, but I like how we do it now. Thanks to all those who do meet weekly there and keep it real...
