Japfest - What A Fun Day

Steve · May 17, 2003

good turn out!... some wicked cars around the show.. prolly the best jap cars i have eveer seen for modifications.

Rhaines went on the track.. had fun

Scot in his old celica blew a hole in the site if his engine and we all suggested plugging the 1 inch hole with Gum Gum, elastiplast and smoothed of with claires camera

I managed to drain my Battery flat with the stereo and was stranded... thanks to paul for saving me and the few others for their advice.

photos will follow by the other members.

Japfest ROCKED!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

All that exotic machinery nearly made me wet myself, and it wasn't just the cold and lots of early morning coffee!!!!!

I missed the big Evo crash, any chance of a link to the pictures? I did see a Scooby nearly come to grief, but was mightily impressed by his off road recovery - the benefits of AWD I guess.

Nice to put more faces to names.

Can't wait for JAE ( though maybe a little less coffee for me!)

An excellant day had by all even though it rained a fair bit, was great to see some old and new faces. :D

A few of the GT 4's went home on the back of a truck from the sounds of some the engines and messy oil patches,

Congrads to Zee :zee: for putting up with Rhines Driving on his second lap on the track, shame Rhines only pulled one 720 spin on his first lap, it would have been nice to see Zee's face after that - never mind,

the track racing looked well cool.. some of those guys really now how to race.. some did not...

as soon as i upgrade my suspension, strut brace and new wheels I shall be taking my motor on the track!

Looked very safe to me

Steve, you were on the bank watching, wait till you're in the car in a spin, the last thing you'll be thinking - "gee this is safe"

Superb day...

Great to see everyone and have to say a big thank you for noone getting a photo of my 720 out of the esses....

Would be nice to see some Lexi out on track as it isn't about how fast you go but how much fun you can have and it is safe as houses as long as your safe around Quarry....

Some amazing cars onsite and great chance to meet everyone again....

Track time was great with only 12 cars on track, I've got a nice shot of the evo when he was pulled in so will post it on monday.....
