got sent this by a mate of mine I am going wondered if anybody else is interested as it is open to ALL jap cars

 

Dearest all,

This email is to remind you all of the biggest Japanese Car event this year

in the UK. http://www.rotorstock.com - the 'www.mazdarotaryclub.com Japanese

Streetfigher Showdown' taking place on Monday 31st May 2004, at Shakespeare

County Raceway.

The fastest 32 Japanese cars in Britain are going head to head for the

first time ever, and there WILL only be ONE WINNER!!

Come and see the very best cars the Japanese Car Community can offer, and

for the first time not just see them looking good but performing as well.

A massive show combined with a Run-What-Ya-Brung event plus full-on quarter

mile competition with the UK's most powerful Japanese Sports Cars.

Mazda is also planning to launch a new sports model based on the MX-5 at

the show - and there will be cash prizes and lots of trophies on offer for

the best cars.

(The following is extracted from 'Japanese Performance Magazine', Issue 40

May 2004, page 12).

If you've never seen a 10 second quarter mile by a 1,000 bhp Skyline GT-R

don't miss this event. You may have seen how the top players compare at

drag events before, but this is the first time that the UK's top Japanese

Sports cars have had the chance to shoot it out on a properly prepared

surface and against the clock.

Hosted by the http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com in conjunction with

http://www.shakespearecountyraceway.com, the event is open to all makes of

Japanese performance car. For those who want the opportunity to get in some

quarter mile practice before the main event, the strip is also open on Sat

29th & Sun 30th May for the Nitrous Modified Show and RWYB. The main event

for Jap-only cars is Rotorstock, on the Bank Holiday Monday. In the morning

and until 3pm, anyone can give it their best on the dragstrip, but from 3pm

the Japanese Streetfighter Showdown begins. Here, the fastest runners of

the morning and previous day have the chance to battle it out against the

invited star cars and their drivers.

The "Star Car" entrants invited by MRC for the Japanese Streetfighter

Showdown make a truly impressive list. It includes the awesome Nissan

Skylines of Rocket Ronnie (Abbey Motorsport prepared), Gary Passingham

(GT-Art), Ron & Darren Kiddell (RK Racing), plus other hot contenders

including Simon Norris' amazing 10 sec. Evo VII, Adrian Smith's Fensport

Corolla and ultra quick Supras of Dee Ireland (CRD) and Leon Green (JPS

Motorsport). Expect to see some very special lightweight RX-7's there too -

with 500 + bhp. Some of the most powerful Scoobies will be attending too.

Abbey Motorsport's Mark Gillingham is also hoping to have completed his

beast of a Skyline which is expected to have 1,300 bhp on tap.

This really is a meeting for all with an interest in Japanese cars be it

Show or Go, and even if you think '' well my cars not fast'' you could

still win the best reaction time at the lights!!

There are 50 or so Trophies and also prize money on offer at RotorStock for

not only the track action but also the Show side.

Entry to the event costs £18 (£15 in advance) plus a further £15 for

unlimited runs on the drag strip for the Sunday and Monday.

On the Monday 31st all Mazda owners will only pay £14 on the gate!!

This promises to be the greatest event for Japanese cars this year and is

to be supported and sponsored by Japanese Performance, so expect to see a

feature on the event in July's edition.

There is also a Video being made that will go on worldwide sale.

mazdarotaryclub.com will all be there for the Sunday when qualifying gets

underway, but RotorStock itself is on the Monday when the venue becomes

Japanese only.

inquiries, phone 01803-554308.

We look forward to seeing you ALL there, for this unmissable exciting FIRST

of it's kind meeting!

Doing it that way hangs my machine at home but works fine from my office pc.

 

Glad you had a good day. Totty wern't too bad either but I bet you were going too fast to notice ;)

Wish I could have gone, but had to spend some time with the other half for a change.

Gutted i couldn't make it, I was gonna get there first, then go on to Bristol to see a mate, but i went to Bristol first and by the time i left it just wasn't worth coming.

 

I saw a few RX7's, Skylarks and 200's on the way.

 

Hope you had a good day, See you next time (Billin or Japmeet at the Pod)

 

 

Nice pics BTW

 

Rich:(

Speedfreak- I guess you were the blue one. Who was driving the black one? :)

yep mate blue one was me(lost a bit of tread in the burnouts!!!), as for the black one, I was talking to him in the pit area, he was about 60 if anything!! running consistent 13's all day - V cool! dont think he is a member though

well, at 60- he dont need all us spotty kids- he probably knows his stuff- and good times too. Lets hope we're all blasting suped up 350's down the dragsrip when we're 60 :cool:

Amen to that..... LOL

Did any RX8s run the quarter and if so, what were they getting? (It was ROTORstock after all)

 

I nearly went down but was too hung over. :cool:

tbh mate it was virtually all rx7's that ran didnt see ANY rx8's at all quite amusing really!!!!

Zeds at 60 COOL......
