High Performance Imports v1 - part 4 - HKS Street Drag 2001

Part four of the HPIv1 DVD is an HKS street drag meeting at Central circuit in Hyougo (near Kobe) Japan. Loads of 9-second GT-Rs and a wide variety of other JDM drag machines. The High Performance Imports DVD series was produced by Ben Ellis, first at Express Publications and later at Otomoto. This first edition was originally released on VHS in 2001, then re-released on DVD in 2003. At the time English-language videos about the Japanese tuning scene were very scarce, but drag racing and drifting were approaching their peak. A lot of the JDM trends you see today actually started around this time. We like to call it the golden age of Japanese tuning, as it just hasn't been the same ever since then.
