Breakfast Club Rally is hosting another fantastic vintage car rally in Sonoma, Ca. This time it is only for Japanese cars!

I have run with this group and it is a total blast, you can see my previous event reports here:

I registered, and I'll be there, albeit in my girlfriend's Celica, since the roadster isn't ready yet. Looks like an awesome event.

Cool! It's gonna be a huge turnout I can't wait. JDM heaven

Get those roadsters ready and registered for the March 19 rally!
It's going to be an epic showing of Japanese classics...think JCCS mixed with a little Breakfast Club Rallye...admire the cars before seeing them in action!

Just under a month out from March 19, and registration for Tokyo Calling is over 2/3 full- pretty impressive list of Japanese tin on the roster so far, and growing every day. Sign your roadster up and spread the word!

Now, for the roadster-specific report...because the turnout was stupendous!

What a joy to see these two rolling in:



Not one, but TWO roadsters with factory, OEM hardtops.

Mark's high windshield SRL:





Ian's '67 2000 #601






Note all of the stainless trim and weatherstripping, Ian had to source all of it himself!

Also note the rear clip an structural support:



Man the OEM tops sure do look great...ok enough hard top talk!


Lots of roadster owners with familiar and new faces!
I counted 6 roadsters. Pat S. owns this 1970 Datsun 2000. He had it dyno tuned at Z Car Garage, full report soon! I took a guess what it dyno'd at and Pat was shocked that I was spot on





Mike Young, Pat S and Michael O at the final stage of the rally: Sonoma Raceway

Roadster crew:


You might recognize this beast, it's Alvin's (Leadpaw) 3.4LGM -powered SPL!

As I f I didn't get my roadster fix on the rally, the following day I was visiting the Filoli estate with my family when I spotted this KA24-powered roadster in parking lot!!! It was nice meeting you Ed!



I was lucky to drive the 1965 Nissan Silvia for 300 miles. I'll outline that experience in a different thread.

Join us on the next BCR Rallye!
