This dino car will scare away the Kaiju as well as the competition with those fast tires!
Doc sponsored by Doc's Speed Shop in Missouri, USA has checked-in and passed inspection for the Race of the Rising Sun diecast racing tournament! Doc will be driving the red Mitsubishi Double Shotz, known as "Hot Tamale." This Mitsubishi concept takes the concept of the Lancer Evolution to the next level!
R-Lo from R-Lo Racing in Connecticut, USA has checked-in and passed inspection for the Race of the Rising Sun diecast racing tournament! R-Lo will be driving this 2017 Acura NSX in his signature vaporwave colors, known as "Oblivion." The NSX is a killer at the Rim, and we all know that R-Lo has 9 lives. So look out!
Mr. Darq from Dubious Diecast in Oklahoma, USA has checked-in and passed inspection for the Race of the Rising Sun diecast racing tournament! Mr. Darq is driving the #13 slate gray Nissan 350Z, known as "Notorious Nissan." Mr. Darq was very pleased with our operation that Darq-Arts is now an affiliate sponsor of the Pacific Rim Speedway!

The Crazy Canuck will be driving the #7 blue and silver 2017 Nissan Skyline GT-R, known as "Bad Leaf Rising." The Eh Team has had their fair share of bad luck at the Rim, but they have got this car tuned based on lessoned learned and it is fast!
Willy Maykit from Milly Maykit Diecast in Indiana, USA has checked-in and passed inspection for the Race of the Rising Sun diecast racing tournament! Willy will be driving the #20 silver and green 1998 Subaru Imprezza STI, known as "Cranky." Willi Maykit may be a prankster off the track with his fellow drivers, but is nothing but serious when he gets behind the wheel. Hopefully a radioactive, giant snake doesn't jump out in front of his car.
Fractal Panda from the UK has checked-in and passed inspection for the Race of the Rising Sun diecast racing tournament! Fractal Panda will be driving the #8 silver and purple Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, known as "Decim8R." This is only Fractal's second trip to the Rim after his performance during the DIRS tournament, but he has tuned his car to not only handle the obstacles, but also outrun the competition. #pandasrule
Cole Trickle from Commotion Diecast in Virginia, USA has checked-in and passed inspection for the Race of the Rising Sun diecast racing tournament! Cole will be driving the blue 1998 Honda Prelude, known as "Blue Moon." Cole is currently racing in the quarter-finals of the Just Say No to Tampos tournament so he will be carrying a lot of momentum into this next race. However, we hope that Cole will be able to steer clear of the Kaiju Blue in the moon light.
RACE FORMAT UPDATE!
Corporate has made a decision to change the race format for this event in keeping with the theme of the race. This tournament has now been changed to a head-to-head competition under the lights at night. Corporate does realize that the risk of Kaiju returning at night is much greater than during the day, but it is what the fans have asked for!
Laps will only be reset and start in the same position if both cars do not finish a lap. Pacific Rim Speedway officials have the final decision in all races. Bracket seeding will be random.
TRACK UPDATE!
Corporate has also made the decision to remove the safety fence surrounding the sewer vent to accomodate better viewing for the fans. This also comes with a warning for all drivers. If cars crash and roll off the sewer vent cliff, there is a strong possibility that their car may not return to the race due to fall damage sustained as they land in the Kaiju's Lair below.
Cross from Flat Rabbit Racing Club in Illinois, USA has checked-in and passed inspection for the Race of the Rising Sun diecast racing tournament! Cross will be driving the blue 1998 Honda Prelude, known as "#3 Special." This will be Cross' first visit to the Rim, but we are certain that Glitch has been giving him advice on how to navigate the obstacles. Looking forward to seeing this young driver hit the speedway!
Nick Deavers from Nick Deavers Racing in Michigan, USA has checked-in and passed inspection for the Race of the Rising Sun diecast tournament! Nick will be driving the white 1996 Nissan 180SX Type X, known as "Nunya." Don't let its looks deceive you, because this Nissan is built to race and not look pretty. We feel sorry for any shiny rides racing next to Nick, because he will put you into the wall no questions asked.
Ragtag Jim from Ragtag Racing in Tennessee, USA has checked-in and passed inspection for the Race of the Rising Sun diecast racing tournament! Jim will be driving the blue 1970 Toyota Celica, known as "Blue Meanie." This meanie is one of the oldest car in the field of 48 cars, but don't let it deceive you. This car is fast!
