Event: Drag Race in Sendai Hi-lands Japan

011

Here is Drag race report we had on last Sunday in Sendai Hi-land, here in northern Japan. For those of you who aren’t that familiar with Japan. Sendai is just north of Fukushima.

 

 

This track was badly damaged from the big level 9 earthquake back in March 2011. It was closed for just over 2 years after that Higashi-Nihon earthquake. So this event was staged to celebrate it’s reopening.

There were many serious drag racing cars that turned up for the event. GT-Rs, Fairlady Z, Toyota Supras and many more.

The drag racing scene isn’t as big as it used to be. But there is still potential for the scene to grow again.
