22回 SCNのAward Cars

Long Distance賞:2000 Toyota Hilux

Long Distance賞は、鹿児島からお越しの勝目さん、2000年式のハイラックス。

LQQK賞:1970 Chevelle SS 

70年Chevelle SSは大好きな1台です。Big BlockにBill Jenksのハンド グラインドMOON Cam、Chevy MotorはCamを入れるのとノーマルとではまったく違います。ちょっとリフトのあるCamが入っていると本当に惚れ惚れしたサウンドなんですよ。MOPAR系に押され気味なChevyですが、このChevelleはそんな会場でも光っていました。Chevyがんばろう!

ZQQM賞:1988 Toyota Hilux

このハイラックの丸目、昔乗っていたのです。US仕様はキャビンがちょっと長くて(日本では4WDのキャビンがそうです)うらやましかったです。古いハイラックスですが綺麗になっていて素晴らしい!

GQQD賞:2003 Suzuki ラパン

ラパンベースの小サバーバン、いいですね。一目みてサバーバンだし。時田さんが「ラパーバン」と命名していました。USA車に似せた所がGOODです。

CQQL賞:1959 VW Type-I

1959年型VW Type-Iはカッコよすぎる。Area-1で見た時カッコよすぎてビックリしました。今回のCQQL賞は勿論です。

VQQM賞:1979 Toyota チェイサー

2006年のHCSでデビューしたチェイサー、今回は清水から自走で参加、しかもChevy V-8にMOON Cam、そう、メリハリのはるあの乾いた排気音。ここまでやっている国産は少ないですね。オーナーの気力に脱帽のVQQM賞です。

Camshafters賞:1974 VW Type-I

これは必見です。是非、今年のHCSに参加してほしいなー。完成が楽しみです。

Deuce Factory賞:1932 Ford Roadster

Deuce Factory賞はこの32年ハイボーイ、これからの季節に最高ですね。朝のうちは雨だったのご苦労様でした。

今年は8個Awardがありました。
朝の雨も上がり、気温も次第に上昇し楽しいEventとなりました。皆様ありがとうございました。

次は5月18日(日)お台場で Motorcycle Swap Meetです。
是非バイクでお越し下さい。 

22nd SCN Award Cars
 
Long Distance Award: 2000 Toyota Hilux Pickup
Mr. Katsume brought his truck from Kagoshima, which is 1,483km (927 miles) far south of Tokyo. Kagoshima is on the southwestern tip of Kyushu and is the most southern prefecture of all Japan.

LQQK Award: 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS
Big Block Chevy, Bill Jenks Hand-grinded MOON Cam.
The Chevy motor is quite different when comparing stock cam and high lifted cam. Having a cam with just a slight lift will noticeably create a very strong sound. Although this Chevy is hard pressed against MOPARs,
because MOPAR is very popular now in Japan and US as well, this 1970 Chevelle shined bright at the show.

1970 Chevy Chevelle SS is my favorite too! Go Chevy!

Don't forget, a MOON Racing Cam is grinded by the hands of MOON's long term Master Grinder and Craftsman, Bill Jenks. His camshafts are built to specs and still available.

ZQQM Award: 1988 Toyota Hilux Pickup
I used to own a Toyota Hilux like this a long time ago but my truck was a bit older, with round eyes (headlights). But the cab was small because of Japanese spec. I always wanted to have US cab and US bed, but was unable to do it.
In US Spec, the cab is a little longer (like the Japanese spec 4WD cab).
Oh yes, American spec is big!
It was an envious feeling to see such a vehicle. It's such an old Toyota Hilux but very clean it looks wonderful!

GQQD Award: 2003 Suzuki Lapin (base) '70 Chevy Suburban-Look
At first glance, it's really an early 70's Chevy Suburban. It was given the name of "Lapurban" by Mr. Tokita, owner of Vannuys Automotive SHZ.

CQQL Award: 1959 VW Type I Beetle
This VW T-1 is way too cool! When I first saw this at MOONEYES Area-1 parking lot, it was shocking just how cool it looked. It sits very low to the ground with vintage cal-look wheels and retains stock bumpers and chrome trim. This time, no doubt, the CQQL Award winner.

VQQM Award: 1979 Toyota Chaser
Debuted at HSC 2006 and built by Vannuys Automotive SHZ
Driven from Shimizu, which is about 160km (100 miles) from Tokyo, and without a trailer. But it's got a Small Block Chevy V-8, and a MOON CAM. Yes, producing that unique sound and exhaust pitch all the way here.
At this point in the awards, the domestic production cars are few and far between. Saluting the Owner's energy is the VQQM Award.

Camshafters Award was goes to 1974 VW Type I (Volksrod style)
I hope they participate in this year's HCS.
It's great to see once they complete.

The Deuce Factory Award: 1932 Ford Roadster Hi-boy
The season is just starting out, we'll see this one again.
With the morning showers, your participation is greatly appreciated.

There were eight Awards this year. With the morning rain passing and clearing the skies, the temperature gradually rose steady. The result was a wonderful day. It was a memorable and fantastic event.

Thank you everyone for coming.

Next event is Motorcycle Swap Meet, held May 18 (Sunday) at Odaiba, Tokyo.
By all means, if possible, please come with your motorcycle.
