This afternoon, me and my fellow photokaki, Calvin went to the Sarawak Stadium not to watch some football match or track and field event, but we were there to witness some of the fiercest and baddest cars available in Kuching churning out their respective potential ponies. Fairladies, Skylines, Imprezas, RX-7s, Civics...were a common sight there.
At stock, these machines are already feared animals on the roads, but here they are mostly tuned and morphed into scary beasts. The track race is unofficial and whoever feels that his car is capable of putting in a few impressive laps are welcome to take part.
The track - take note that there's a white Skyline in action
Man on two-wheel monster (Yamaha cruizer)
Next to the race track, there's a spot for drifters (sideways enthusiasts) to showcase their skills. Here's a drift car after a few donuts...
At around 4pm, suddenly everyone started leaving the place. Calvin and I just followed the bandwagon and ended up somewhere at Sejingkat area where some drag race actions are gonna take place.
Being tailed by a Skyline, kudos to Calvin for smokin' that Skyline
Monster dragster who pwned everyone
Some drag actions
Subtle RX-7
Monster GTR with 600++ HP (jaw dropped!)
This was really an exhilarating experience being able to see and hear and feel street racing in flesh for the very first time. Thanks Calvin!!!
