Today's bit of found japanese oddness
11-27-2009, 10:21 AM
Just something I found while looking for some parts my RC Hummer required
The music's a bit .....
I was expecting to see a Kajira stomp through at one point, till I remembered if someone brought an RC Hummer or drove their car onto the lot, that would count
as one.

Evidently you've never sat down and watched Initial D before.
Oh! They're all RC Cars! That would explain why the way they were whipping around through there seemed a bit surreal. All the same, though, this isn't
really all that weird. Hell, I bet there's groups like this in the US. In fact, I would say it's more awesome than weird - especially the
drift-into-your-parking-spot bit.

The thing I found 'bout it was the track. Most people would place cones, lay pipe, dump & grade dirt and call it a course. And I'm aware of one or
two permanent RC car tracks in japan, in or near the Tamiya & Kyosho factories.
These guys went to a higher stage, with scale road markings and roadside fixtures. They just missed the traffic light.
In related videos, there's a few with 6+ cars being drifted at the same time.
