Hello All!

I was reading a Honda Tuning magazine today while I was waiting for my shift to start at work, and I read that the JGTC is coming to America in December!!!!!

The only thing Silvia related to this post is that there is a chance that one of the S15 cars will make it over. Even if it's only Supras and Skylines and NISMO's beautiful new 350 racer, you can still count me in!!

I'm not interested in drifting at all so I wasn't excited about the D1 events, but you can bet that I'll make it out to California for this!!

I believe that the event will cover the 18th and 19th at the California Speedway but I haven't heard about ticket prices or availability.

As a side note, I was reading Honda Tuning because I was interested in the King Motorsports S2000........... :)

I wish I could make it out there this year. However if it works out well this year they are trying to promote it enough to bring it to the east coast in the future, maybe as soon as next year.

18 and 19th of what?

Frankly, I don't put too much faith in what a Honda magazine says (or doesn't say) about JGTC coming to the US. I haven't heard a single thing about it happening anytime soon, let alone heard about a set date for a JGTC race. And lastly, let alone a set date at California Speedway which is 30 minutes from my house.

That said, I would love to see a JGTC race.

Boom!

I just bought my tickets.......

Why wouldn't a Honda magazine have the right information? I'd think they would want to talk about the FIVE various NSX's that will be running......

And it's in December. See you there.

How's the weather under that rock? :D

I knew about this 3 weeks ago - We're doing a booth there with Drift Factory!

Hope you can be there, it's gonna be sweet!

Damn. I stand corrected. Almost 3500 posts and this is I think the first time I've ever been this wrong. Wow. Strange feeling. I can't believe it's actually coming.

I will definitely be in attendance. Greg, is there any chance I could help out at the booth?

Oooh, and it's in december, decent california temperatures, no need for sunscreen.

Man, forget it. D1 is that Sunday.

I'm sorry, but I'm more partial to drifting than JGTC. Whoever planned the dates for this event is retarded. Maybe I'll still go saturday.

They are also doing a street race in China! I hope that is as cool as could be...like it matters; I probably won't see it.

On that note...where can I get vids of the races? Preferably downloads...no speed channel for me. I'd like to follow this season.

Oh man, I was just wondering where I could get some vids of the series! I would be more than happy to purchase them from someone, but I would like it even better if I could get them for free!!!
