Dark Samurai Hey guys, amazing day at japfest other than an R34 skyline blowing up right infront of our standThat black MR2 with the exhaust straight out of turbo must have sounded amazing along with the screamer pipe.
Pics anyway:

Great photos, looks like it was a good day. I couldn't make it this year but hopefully I will next time.
When did the skyline catch fire, after coming off the track? Were there any accidents on track?
Japfest 14th May 2011 Picture thread - is300_dino - 04-04-2019
yeah was a few drift accidents nothing too major though

I have found out some more information regards the Skyline that caught fire.
My neighbour is part of the owners club and knows the owner really well.
He was very calm after it caught fire and simply said aww well, just have to rebuild it.
he was calm, because he races on the Formula 3 scene and actually owns his own GT- Garage.. so no wonder he wasn't fazed at the rebuild :thumbup1:
But, he did confess to my neighbour why it probably caught fire.. He didn't clean the oil off from the previous run and didn't want to waste the £35 on 2nd run, so sadly, his failure was his hurry to get back out and not clean oil off from previous run.. Apparently, now he said and I quote.. "That was an expensive lesson"

Fair play to the guy, sounds like he's taken it well!
Japfest 14th May 2011 Picture thread - purplewitch - 04-04-2019
His car did sound amazing and was incredible to watch and he did handle himself well as the car burnt .. but it shouldn't be brushed off that his action could have had very severe consequences. At one point there were 3 feet high flames roaring off his bonnet and it was two metres away from our cars and the stand opposite us. If that had exploded Boosst, Jsj24uk and VoodooVix would have lost their cars for starters.

Thats very true, but sometimes these things happen and he stopped as we all would have when that sound came from his bonnett, Once he had stopped , he couldn't have jumped back in to drive it to a safe area.
I did get my MR2 moved, but that was only because I happened to be standing there when he caught fire initially.
I would have moved the other two cars immediately if there was access to the keys, which is perhaps something we should look into for the future. Not because we think cars are going to burst into flames at our stands, but so we can jocky cars around and let other members in onto the stand etc.
I think if we had all got together once 99% had arrived we could have dressed the stand and presented our cars better and caught more attention.
We need the attention to build the club membership and in time get bigger, better pitches too:wink:
One idea I had, was having some cards to hand out to other Jap cars and people and maybe over time increase membership :thumbup1:
