In this episode, TRC goes to Super Drag Festival at Central Circuit in Japan! This isn\u2019t just another event for us, it\u2019s a full-circle moment. The same streets and tracks that sparked our love for imports years ago are now in front of our lenses. Some of the very first tuner drag videos we ever watched came from Japan, and now we\u2019re here filming it ourselves!<\/p>\n
Drag racing in Japan may not be in the spotlight like drifting or circuit racing, but it has deep roots. In the \u201980s and \u201990s, the scene started with \u201czeroyon\u201d, 400-meter street races late at night. Tuners built GT-Rs, Supras, RX-7s, Civics, anything they could launch hard and run straight.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the street scene gave way to the track. That\u2019s where Central Circuit came in. Since opening in 1996, it\u2019s become the home of Japanese drag racing, featuring the only full 400-meter strip in the country. Events like Super Drag Festival continue to bring together racers, tuners, and fans to keep the culture alive!<\/p>\n
Big shoutout to John @ japgozoom for helping us with translations and coordination at the event! He exports cars and parts from Japan, so if you\u2019re interested, be sure to hit him up! linktr.ee\/japgozoom
