Very good day, much better than last year.
Lots of good quality cars and very pleasant people made it a great show for me. Oh and the drifting wasn't too bad
One that stood out for me;

I went 2 years ago and it was the same thing. I left at just after 3 this year and had no problems so sounds like I got out just in time. It was a better show than previous years tho and I suppose the weather helps.

the cars there were great, the drifting was great, the track runners looked a bit sedate at times but whether that was just me and the weather was great. my only complaint was the stalls seemed to be aimed at more chav cars, lots of cheap tat and bloody thousands of stickers. top day other then that.

Had a good day... well apart from my first session on track when the car was over boosting, so wouldnt go past 5k revs, but after looking in all the trade stands, found someone who was selling manual boost controllers and managed to get it fitted for my next track session.
Was really busy, seemed much more popular then the previous years i have visited with the SwiftOwners club... Cant really complain about it (apart from the looooooong drive)

My first japfest visit and I had a great day, much busier than other castle combe events, had a great track session overtaking everything out there with me at the time but I did think the track action was a little quiet at times throughout the day with not many cars on track which was a bit disappointing.
I was on the BBS stand we were on the left by Avon rise just before you get to quarry corner we had nearly 50 scoobs on our stand must have been one of the largest collection of scoobs there ?!
All in all a great day and I'm looking forward to next year

Had a quick chat with Alan - he tuned my car by a previous owner but I think it was a while ago as he couldn't remember! Nice cars on his stand too

Was not bad but i was expecting more. Mose of these shows that i got to are kinda consumer aimed. I love buying stuff at show, Japfest saw me leave with oil (which i bought wrong) and some ally wheel nuts. Could have had more stores with more sales.
Dont get me wrong though, had an awesome time. 1hour to get out of the place for us.
