The meet was an overwhelming success. At peak time, 130 cars showed up with approximately 250 people. This made this meet the largest event hosted by Initial D World. The weather was very foggy in the morning hours, creating this surreal feel that we were all gathering near Akina Lake on Mt. Akina (Haruna) Check out the high-res 1800x1200 photos below!

But , Perry I don't know where the hell we are going to be able to hold the So Cal one all things considered. I'm fairly certain the turn out will be the same if not greater. If you're planning it around Anime Expo it certainly won't we practical to use anywhere near Downtown LA. |

Hey J! Alex and I are getting in touch with SPJA currently. We plan on throwing the meet near AX, but it will be expensive. We are trying to see if SPJA will sponsor us or share some of the cost. Edit: if the AX Initial D meet does happen, I am almost certain it will have the biggest turn out than the events we hosted so far combined. (over one thousand attendees if not more.)

Patient Zero Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,279 Member No.: 37,947 Joined: Oct 1st 2011 Location: Update Profile | I do recall seeing an 86 in the exhibition hall during AX last year. I thought that was one of TakumiTrueno's friends or his own 86. I'm sure that SPJA will be able to do something for us if we notify them ahead of time. |

On a computer | I know the gentleman who owns that 86, amusingly enough we saw each stuck in traffic a few months ago with him in his work truck and me doing sales calls in the Fairlady. but anyway a single car in an exhibit hall booth and organizing a meet of hundreds is apples to oranges, not to mention organization is something that has always needed improvement at AX (owed more to manpower, resources and exhaustion than actual competence I think). That said, if you have a plan I will hold back on leveraging my influence until you let me know otherwise. Do let me know if things get out of hand.
