Okinawa Motor Carnival 2011

Posted By Dave on September 25th, 2011

Today and tomorrow Yomitan Village in Okinawa is hosting the annual Okinawa Motor Carnival.  It’s an event where cars of all types can enter to display their hard work and where a lot of their money has gone!  Drag racers, drifting, imports & classics are all represented here, and all the entry fees and proceeds are going to the earthquake relief fund.

I headed over to the event today and managed to snap a few pictures.  I was quite impressed with the event on the whole; there were a few cars I’ve not seen before, and in particular some open-wheeled cars which I love getting up close and personal to.

I’ve put all the presentable photos up in my gallery here.  You can take a look at some of my personal favourites below.  Hope you like them!

I liked all the Chasers that were there. I heard a rumor that there would be another show sometime in december 2011, do you know if there’s any truth to that?

Hey there. First off, thanks for taking the time to look at the pics and comment.

I haven’t heard anything about a show in December, and it seems strange to have one in the middle of winter. But I’ll keep my ear to the ground and let you know if I hear anything.
