FWY #405 と #5 が交わる Irvine Center Dr. で毎週土曜日に開催されるMorning Cruise は凄い車が集まります。
There’s a Morning Cruise every Saturday on Irvine Center Drive where the #405 and #5 FWY intersect with incredible cars.

そして FWY#5 を挟んだ反対側には昔 OCIR があったのです。

上の写真の左側が今回の Morning Cruise の場所です。
そして FWY#5 挟んだ所に 30年前は OCIR があり、この写真はその当時撮った物です。
FWY がバックに見えるでしょ。
In the aerial view photo of OCIR, the Morning Cruise was close to the location of the photo shown on the right that I took a long time ago. You can see the Freeway sign in the background.

後悔 先に立たず


写真を撮ろう・撮ろうと思っていた綺麗だったモンテカルロが、ある時こんなになっていた。

やはり思った時に撮っておかないとこうなってしまうって事、何時までも同じ状態で居れるとは限らないって事ですね。次があると思っちゃいけないですね〜。

MOON Book by Laurent Bagnard



MOONEYES USA ができて20年、Dean MOON の時代から MOONEYES USA の今に至るまでが詳しく書かれた、フランス写真家　Laurent Bagnard の「MOON Book」今まで MOON に関する本や記事は沢山ありましたがこの1冊は素晴らしいです。
欧州人の Laurent だから作れた1冊、日本語訳付きで9月初旬発売予定です。
価格は 5,000円位、まだ決定ではありません。
お楽しみに！

It’s been almost 20 years since MOON was restarted as MOONEYES USA. From the days when Dean MOON began the company in the 50s, up until today’s current MOONEYES, the complete details have finally been put completely together in a new book by French photographer Laurent Bagnard called, MOON BOOK. There are a lot of stories about MOONEYES and several books have been made about the company and history too. However, this is the first book that actually starts at the very beginning with Dean Moon, and shows the transition that is MOONEYES today. It’s a spectacular book with a lot of first-time published photos too.
Laurent is releasing the book out of Europe, and a Japanese language insert will be made for the initial release in Japan some time in September.
The price is not set for Japan yet but will be around 5,000 Yen.
Hope everyone enjoys it as much as we do!

LA の Garage Company

南California, Garage Companyで開催されたPartyの模様です。
This was how it was in Southern California, at Garage Company’s party they hosted.

新しく引っ越した大きなビルの中はレアパーツが一杯、LA国際空港からも数分ですから、寄ってみる価値ありです！ Website: www.garagecompany.com

This is their huge new building they recently moved to and it is full of old and rare parts. The best part is it’s only minutes away from LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) so it’s worth stopping by to see. Website: www.garagecompany.com

Barona Drag Strip の続き


MOONEYES Dragster を走らせた Barona Drag Strip では Friday Night に Cackle Fest も開催されました。
On Friday night at Barona Drag Strip, where the MOONEYES Dragster ran (last blog post) we took part in the Cackle Fest they had.


Cackle Fest とは Dragster 等のエンジンと掛ける（主に古い Dragster 等が人気です）催しです。
For those that don’t know what Cackle Fest is, it’s where people crowd around and watch the dragsters start their engines (the old vintage Dragsters are very popular).


特にNitro (ニトロ）を燃料とするエンジンはエキゾーストパイプから炎が出るので迫力あり人気があります。
Particularly, Nitro fueled engines that are very loud and the flames that come from the exhaust get the most attention and are the crowd favorites.


そんな事から炎が良く見えるように暗くなってから開催される事が多いのですが
California の７月は２０時位まで明るいのでこの日も終了は２３時近くにもなってしまいました。
MOONEYES Dragster も燃料もアルコールに代えたので Nitro に比べると少ないですが炎を出せるようになりました。
Of course, to see the flames, it is best when it’s dark. But in the summer time like July in California, 8PM is still not dark enough so the festivities didn’t finish until around 11PM.
The MOONEYES Dragster can’t compare to the Nitro Fuelers but with the recent change to Alcohol, there were some small flames coming out of the headers (no pictures).
隣は炎で真っ赤です。
The flames coming from the cackle car on the side of us.


MOONEYES Dragster から見た観客の様子です。
This is the view from the cockpit of the MOONEYES Dragster.


反対隣もです。
On the other side of us too. (look at the red-hot headers!)


Barona Drag Strip は山の中にありこの様な道をガンガン走って行くと突然目の前に現れます。
Barona Drag Strip is up into the mountains so you have to drive quite a bit then is almost appears from nowhere.
