It was my second last weekend in Japan that Park and I came across a small group of Kaido Racers at トモベ P.A. We were actually on our way to Tsukuba Circuit for the Idlers meet with Nakai-San. After hanging around the PA for a few hours a few other amazing cars rocked up before they got back onto the expressway. After that we stopped again and caught up with some more cars before they took off to Fukushima for a large meeting. We ended up about 60km’s past Tsukuba turn off but it was all worth it. Here is one shot I got of a MZ10 Sharknose Soarer. These guys were super cool and really laid back. Once again, I took way too many photos of these cars and can’t wait to show you more! Have a killer weekend everyone.

Engines are made at Toyota’s specialized engine factories. The Kamigo Plant and Shimoyama Plant make engine parts and put them together into engines. Engine parts are also made at other Toyota factories and by Toyota’s suppliers, check out this site if you need some parts to repair your car.

On the last week of my trip one of my good friends Ryohei Takahashi-San opted for us to cruise out of central Tokyo and meet up with the rest of his team mates – Team Freee’s ☆. We shortly found ourselves about 30km’s past Ebina / Atsugi before we stopped in a PA along the highway to meet up with the rest of the crew. If you’re asking yourself where you remember this car from I could almost bet you’re thinking of Hellaflush at Fuji Speedway late last year. Prior to travelling to Japan I once again never actually thought I’d see this car, let alone sitting in a PA. The driver goes by the name of Yo-San and is a full-time painter – the craziest and coolest Japanese person I have met, period. The car currently has no shakken aka registration and no license plates. The current plates on the car specifically say ‘FUCK 50 FREE’S☆ WE MESS AROUND IN TOKYO-KANAGAWA AREA‘. Pretty cool if you ask me. Don’t worry, I took way too many photos of this car that night and also got some highway shots. There will be lots and lots to come, along with the remaining team cars.
