Last week we had footage from the Awaji Island Old Car New Year meeting and this week we got another New Year Meeting: the JCCA New Year Meeting 2012!

Shakotanbugi was this week present at the Old Car New Year 2012 meeting in Awaji Island (near Kobe) and he shared a lot of videos on Youtube!
Various kaido racers were present. Take for instance this Cresta GX71 with Falken livery:
Or this Kenmeri Skyline:

Since the meeting in the parkinglot of the last day of the Tokyo Auto Salon is held on a Sunday it should actually say Meeting Sunday! 
I just took a screenshot of my favorite: this Mark II which is around 3:05 of the video. (more…)
According to the poster somewhere in 1981 at the Fuji Grand Championship these photos were shot outside in the parkinglot. Now thirtyone years later they emerge on Youtube as a video with suitable late 70s/early 80s disco track underneath it!
Looking at the Celica XX makes me believe either a brand new one was treated the kaido racer style or it should rather have been a bit later in the 80s.
Anyway, that doesn’t stop us from having fun with the video: (video on the next page!) (more…)
As promised yesterday: the 2012 New Year sunrise run!
This year shakotanbugi was the first one to upload footage of one of the many runs held each and every year on the first of January.
The video consists of a total of four parts: (videos on the next page!) (more…)
