Another year, another JCCS, this year the Japanese Classic Car Show turns 15 years old and while the location has moved across the Long Beach Harbor from the Queen Mary closer to the back straight of the Long Beach Grand Prix. The showing was as good as ever, however the highlight of this years JCCS came after pulling into the parking lot.
A black NSX pulled around me to get through the ticket booth first, after we passed through a fellow Miata driver pointed us in the direction of preferred parking. As we backed in to the spot being saved in the MX-5 area, the NSX trolled past.
Once inside it was the familiar sight of the argyle 767 LeMans racer and a sleuth of Maruha inspired engine compartments adorned with go fast goodies like over sized aluminum Koyo radiators, Samco hoses and ITBs. Maybe they were just a bunch of carbon fiber cam covers there to dress up the Pit Crew conversions, but we’d like to think they were all 2.1 Liter stroker motors.
