If anyone has another event or idea to add to the list then please copy the most recent list, and repaste it with your idea or event at the bottom. As events pass we will remove them from the lists. lets try to keep them in a timeline order as in upcoming events at the top and events in a couple months or weeks closer to the bottom.

Ideas
Mt. Tsukuba - Meet at midnight or slightly before, run or spectate for a couple hours then head down the Mountain to grab a late night meal or early breakfast depending on finishing time.
Daikoku Futo - Meet in the Parking area Grab something for dinner or lunch depending on meet time then go to hakone, or Fuji area.
Drift/Grip day- Nikko Circuit, Drift 3 classes/levels, grip 2 classes/ levels. Run time is about 15 minutes each period generally.
7-7-07/ RX-7 day - 90% chance of it being held at Tsukuba circuit again this year. We could meet at Mt. Tsukuba the night before drive then go to sleep and go to Tsukuba Circuit in the morning. There are plenty of Hotels in Tsukuba city that we could get rooms at.
No Navigation Rally: I think this would be really fun in Japan. No maps, no in car navi. We meet at one spot and from there drive/race to random rally points. It would take to long to explain this now but that is the basic idea.
Parts swap meet: I figure that with us all being car lovers and most likely many of us having car friends we could get a decent size group of people together to swap, sell, trade, and or give away unwanted parts. This could be both convenient for members with no space to store parts as well as profitable to those who want to see the parts before buying them and or bargaining with thge prices. Also a good reason for us all to get together and shoot the **** about each others cars etc...
At this point the only Event I know of to plan is the RX-7 day. I have mentioned before that Tokyo Auto Salon is in the process of being phased out or turned into a VIP show. Option Video and Magazine are pushing a new car show called something like "exciting car show" ( @ name) it will be a summertime event most likely june or july I believe. Anyhow that is another potential event that can be scheduled.
Please comment or add to the list if you like!
