They wear football or lacrosse pads under their shirts. 3rd video has great garage pre-race prep.

 

:up: Awesome!

 

NASCAR meets road racing. i like it.

 

Not clubman eligible. Exists purely for purposes of gambling (think horse racing). No surprise, is run by the Yakuza. Not sure who does their catering.

 

LOL.

Still awesome and I want to do it.

 

The "Fukuoka" on the side of the crash truck cracked me up... Brilliant! "Fuhk, u ok?"...

 

They corner low!

 

Think Abe's dad was a champ at that.

 

Apparently the Yakuza thing is old news and was fixed in the 90s. I'm going to visit Japan someday and these races are on the list!

 

Kawasaki 250 engines?

 

I swear i heard the announcer say "They're side by side !! Hai !!"

 

That shit was sick. It's surprising they didn't have any moments.

 

Darrell Waltrip and Ralph Shaheen should go over and call them races....

 

Yep, norick Abe's dad is/was a legend at that.

 

Great write up in CYCLE WORLD about that series 5-6 years ago. Those guys get huge salaries and the betting is insane.

 

dont they use racing like that to bet on over there? its like what we do with horses and dogs just with disposable racers

 

That was pretty dang cool! The sound was awesome, would love to hear that in an arena like that!

 

I recall something about they were some derivation of the Norton 750 motor. Only oil tight
