As a JDM car owner, it’s something that I love and can really be appreciative of, as well as partially owning other communities and websites. So to help these little guys out, here’s a little bit about them.

We are a South East Queensland based car club with members from Brisbane, Toowoomba, Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast. The members drive vehicles ranging from Nissan Skyline’s, 180sx and Silvia’s to a variety of Toyota’s and the odd Honda…. We pride ourselves on modifying our cars in a tasteful way with more focus on performance and handling than purely for looks.

Our members enjoy and compete casually in motorsports such as Drift racing, Drag racing and Circuit/Hill Climb events.

Check out their website at www.nakamaworks.com

If you care to stumble across it, it’s over here -> www.facebook.com/ausperformance

I will hopefully use it a bit more over the next year, I aim to have atleast 500 “likers” before March 2011. And with that, I hope to run some competitions and what not to get people involved… Here’s hoping!

But instead, I let it slide, and instead, checked out the event website a bit. I was quite surprised to see it’s a full, proper series. This got me thinking in terms of sponsorship, and I’ve had a chat to the organiser, and have registered my interest in sponsoring the series. Should be beneficial for both the participants, and AusPerformance I think…

Anyway, I headed out there last Sunday to check it out. Had a walk around the pits and had a chat with a few of the participants, and took some photos. It was a really well organised event, and I met some really nice blokes with some even nicer cars. Will definitely be heading back out for the next one, hopefully in my 200SX
