As Robert Duvall’s character in Days of Thunder said, “He didn’t slam you, he didn’t bump you, he didn’t nudge you… he rubbed you. And rubbin, son, is racin‘.” But to be honest, I don’t think I could ever let my classic JDM - or a classic car of any sort - get so much as a rubbin’, let alone any other form of less-than-loving contact.

Nonetheless, the racing of classic cars continues to be a favourite pastime of enthusiasts around the world, and one hell of a spectacle. So if you’ve got the time and you’re in the area, you need to get yourself down to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway to catch The Porsche - Datsun Challenge this coming weekend. Stylistically and mechanically, these cars are so wonderfully matched, and this should be an awesome day!

I mentioned the upcoming Japanese Classic Car Show recently, but of course with it being in the US, no doubt some of our Aussie readers are lamenting the cruelty of geography and the lack of airlines offering fifty dollar seats with car freight thrown in for free. As that’s not likely to happen any time soon, you’ll undoubtedly be rapt to know that the Classic Japanese Show Shine and Swap is coming up in October.

Held in sunny Queensland, it’s a great chance for you classic JDM lovers to show off your P&Js and check out what other enthusiasts have been working on. And luckily, the domestic airlines do offer fifty dollar seats for that particular flight. Last year’s inaugural event saw 134 cars on show, so if you can, get on up there.

And then send us the photos!

I’m quite sure none of you need to be reminded that the Japanese Classic Car Show for 2007 is coming up in October, but for those living under a rock in a trench somewhere in the Pacific, get over to the JCCS website and get yourself registered to show off your car!
