"POMONA, California"
I went to the NHRA Winternationals at POMONA, California on Saturday 11th.
Before that I visited the shop of Mr.KIMURA who is known world wide for "ZERO ENGINEERING" where he build "ZERO style" of Harley Davidson has resigned from ZERO Engineering in Japan to open shop in Foothill, Azusa in California in end of January, So I dropped by.
The shop is called "Chabott Engineering", next door was Hot Rod shop and shop was great fun place. I look forward to his future work in USA. I think the opening of this shop will make good effect to all USA Motorcycle market and Hot Rod Market. In Motorcycle Market like Mr. CHICA of Huntington Beach, its great hear that Japanese is in Motorcycle business in California.
In 2006 MOONEYES has decided to make little support to Pro Class Nitro(TOP FUEL) Funny Car Jim Dunn Racing. Back in Winternationals from four years of blank. The extreme of Hot Rod is Funny car so MOON LOGO goes on well on Raceway and on Race cars. Drag Race may be less popular in Japan but in US 20 races around USA and finals on November at POMONA World Final, and is popular with about 150,000 people see each race at raceway which is big event next to Indy, NASCAR. There are many MOON funs in Race funs and see many people cruise and Show goes in Raceway too which is unlike in Japan where people say " will go to show but not raceway".
May be its because of the different circumstances for Drag racing.
In 2006 season, Please support Lucas Oil/Jim Dun Racing Funny car. The Von Dutch clothing was supporting Funny car in Pomona with Frank Pedregon as driver. |
