The last show of the year came around very quickly and before I knew it I was sitting in my slammed EG Civic waiting to get through the gates of the Pod. This was my 5th Japshow Finale on the trot and so my expectations were higher than ever and oh yes did it live up to them!

Everywhere you looked there was something of interest, Run What Ya Brung and Drift What Ya Brung track times were running all day aswell as the final round of the HKS Drag Series which wonderfully, nearly all top competitors were running and breakdowns were minimal! Clubs stands were in full force this time over and all makes and models of metal were in top form for the show!

The only grumble I had for the day was the price of the burgers, as the £5 saved off the ticket for turning up in a Jap car was quickly thrown into a burger van for some grub, d’oh! As the day rolled by alot more quickly than I wanted it to, many performances were on show such as the monster trucks and jet car giving it’s 5.9 second run at around 270mph. If you haven’t seen this, you MUST attend a show, this is a spectacle in itself.

The day overall was a total winner, despite the typical British autumn weather making its strong appearance and everyone freezing themselves, the atmosphere was busy and energetic with enough happening to cure any need for action! The only regret I have is that I didn’t stay the weekend and camp, this really was the perfect way to end the year with a bang!

Make sure you comment everyone and let me know what you thought of the show if you went! All I can say now is, bring on 2010!!!
