Speed Matsuri

Speed Matsuri My blog covers automotive related events in the Boise, Idaho, area as well as my love for motorsport Speed Matsuri (Festival of Speed) is my automotive blog.

I feature on my blog local area automotive events that I find interesting. In addition to the the local area events I also try to cover events from Japan that I follow including Idlers Games, Super GT and various
interesting car shows.

Well it's turned into pants weather time I guess It's storming and with a high of 66 I chose to wear pants to work instead of shorts. The last day to wear shorts for the year and I chose pants. It's a long weekend and I'm going to make the most of it hopefully get some more of the project done and of course we have Porsche and Coffee as well as some other car events this weekend.

Another RWB on the auction blocks at BAT, always watching the numbers to see where they go. I'd list this one as a mid level build with the upgrades to the interior showing off a more show car like status. This is a show up to the meets and look cool in your RWB not your hoon on the track RWB build. My estimate is that it doesn't go over $180K and as of this posting we have a little over 5 hrs until it ends.

Happy boy what a long weekend. Did a lot and got a lot finished spent way to much money and had a good time up until I found out I forgot to go to the new member Porsche club event on Saturday. Got another project shoot done but I think I need to go back in and edit them some more. Mostly shot some pictures and edited a ton more all weekend. I did find out that we'll be getting a Kanojo no Carrera calendar again next year. Hoping we get some new images this time. He'll be collaborating with a hobby magazine this year. I'm looking forward to it.

So I've gotten a lot of things worked out and figured out this week. Paid off a bill or two and ultimately made life a little easier for me to manage by a small fraction. Working on some other things still for the Porsche Parade and I should be doing some things this week for it but have to plan out the rest of the weekend as there are some car events happening this weekend I want to go to that are usually pretty good. So yeah full weekend of things to do. Hope you have a great one as well.

Happy did you survive the weekend? I got a lot accomplished this weekend. I got 1/5 of the project I'm working on done. Which means I got three cars and three places photographed out of the 15 or so I need. I got some other things lined up and working on getting things sorted out for some other things. Sorta watched the Super GT race. So glad I didn't pay for the Racer app as apparently it SUCKS. Found some hot wheels, spent way to much money on stuff and over all had a good weekend.

Now how did our team do? Yeah let's just say the bad luck continues with a subpar car in qualifying (broken splitter) leaving them starting the race from Pit lane to a brake breaking a wheel they were able to fight to the end finishing in 22nd placed. This currently puts them at 10th in the Championship points ranking.

From Pole to Podium! Pacific Umamusume NAC BMW did it! They took their first ever 1st place Podium finish in 11 years of competing in GT300 . If you thought the AI Slop posting onslaught was going to be bad before get ready for a s**t storm now. But really that is awesome for Pacific NAC Racing who I have watched racing Ferraris, Porsches and Mercedes all with various anime themed liveries through out the years. The GT300 points war is oh my gosh crazy. With 4 more races (they added a make up sprint race to make up for the canceled one) to go just about any team can take home the Championship.
