This is an event that is happening where I live in Boise ID. It is an event featuring a show with the best Japanese cars from all over the surrounding area/states. It will also feature one of the area's best DJ's and a 3v3 break dance competition with a cash prize. Here is the flyer for the event. You don't want to miss it! If you have any question you can reach the event committee at shakotan.info@gmail.com

Thanks for looking! We are proud to present Shakotan Matsuri '08 (Shok-o-tan Mawt-soo-ree) which means "Lowered car Festival" in Japanese. Shakotan will also have the look and feel of the Japanese culture. Our goal in creating this event is to go outside the typical local and even national "car show" realm by bringing new exciting elements, sponsors, and ideas to Boise. Our passion as committee members has always been not just Japanese cars, but the approach, honor, and commitment the Japanese take when building a car in whatever style they may choose for whatever purpose. We are enthusiasts and felt that showcasing the many styles associated with Japanese culture like Drifting, VIP, Circuit, Gymkhana (AutoX), Rally and Drag is a good way for other enthusiasts to come together and share their passions in the form of their cars. We want to display everything from the ultra clean VIP car, down to the everyday purpose built drift car that has been well used to drift.

We hope to see you there!

this looks cool because its in japanese and im somewhat drawn towards r32 skylines like the one in the first add/pic

 

Very cool. I'd love to see this grow into something larger w/ a National tour or something.

 

looks cool, but I'm not driving to boise for a car show...

 

um. that skyline isnt even lowered?

 

SlowZster - I drove up there for GG remember!?! time to return the favor j/k lol

Mixturepinoy - he's got the ride height all jacked up for some reason i can't remember even though he's got some kind of bitchin' coils on it of which i can't remember either. i need to stop drinking so much lol

Drivesolo - this is the first event (local boise guys starting it) and the have some awesome plans for years in the future. they want to make it an all things japanese festival with geisha girls and sushi and such

 

Yeah it would be cool to see people drive out for the show, but it's understandable why you wouldn't want to. It is a long drive. Quite a few people are coming up from Utah though, which will be cool. A second R32 has committed as well!

 

bump

 

He's on full coilovers. They are Teins IIRC. I believe he's lowered slightly, but not much.

 

Wasuber, you mentioned you were thinking about going, right? If you wanna roll, I'll go.

 

if i didnt have to work i would totally go

 

Take the day off. Or call in sick.

 

BTW, if anyone is serious about coming down for the show, we can probably help with getting safe places for your cars, and maybe even a spot in the garage.

Also, I can most likely provide a couple couches and some floor space if needed, to help lower the cost of the trip.

Anyone interested can PM me and we can discuss details and options.

 

I'm down for a couch and a garage. The two things I wasn't looking forward to were parking my car in some random spot, and springing for a hotel room after buying $200+ in gas.

 

+1 I am trying to swing this , just don't know if I'll be able to coordinate with other happenings (family ****) so 3pm roll in, we could just leave hella early in the morn Saturday then squeegie the bugs off the window and park it in the show :P

 

I wasn't even going to show, I was just gonna check it out. But hella early Saturday was my idea, too. And then couch-crash, then leave hella early Sunday.

 

sdbarker if you wanna go, Im down. i just dont wanna drive so i'll split the gas with you. Let me know oh when is it?

 

If you guys come, you should definitely show your cars! No reason to hide all these hot Zs from the Boise public!

You're all more than welcome to come out Friday night instead of Sat morning. That might slow the pace and make the trip a little more enjoyable, but whatever you're able to swing is cool by me.

Just keep me posted as to who's coming and who needs a place to stay. We've got 2 couches and a couple of surprisingly comfy floor mats, as well as plenty of floor space. What we don't have is a bunch of spare blankets, so you might have to throw a sleeping bag or blanket in with you.

 

It IS only $20 to show.

And the bugs will be JDM TYTE YO DRIFT READY CUSTOMZ!

 

ha ha ha, yeah lemme check my calendar. I may have to go "drinking" Saturday night after the show
