I have a familly with 3 kids, 2 dogs and me and my husband. We just got the new 2010 town and country touring and are hoping to buy a bike rack for it. We need it to hold at least 5 bikes. Please Help!


Answer
A hitch mounted bike rack will be the safest, strongest, and best way to carry your family's 5 bikes.

There are a number of 2" hitches available for a 2010 Town & Country, from companies like Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch and Curt. They range from about $155 to $170.

Once you've selected a hitch, you'll need to find a 2" hitch-mounted bike rack with a 5 bike capacity. I've added a link the 5 bike hitch racks we carry. With kids/womens bikes you may need to add an adapter bar so the bike will sit level.

I am planning a trip to japan in 2010 and want to know when should i go to take part in thier car events, such as race tracks and racing, can anyone help me with this???? thanks!


Answer
This depends on where you will go and which series you would like to see. From Tokyo you can probably watch races at Fuji Speedway or Twin Ring Motegi. Both tracks require either a rental car or a decent knowledge of the train and bus systems. Basically, most people can identify with the JGTC or Super GT as it is known now. If you plan well, you could go to both Sat and Sun. There are many other things going on at the track during the whole weekend. I usually go on Saturday only. That allows me to see the qualifying session for the main series and all of the support series races. Twin Ring Motegi has more to see in terms of the Honda Museum and Historical Car collection. Check the link below for the dates for the races at Twin Ring Motegi and the Super GT series.

If you like formula cars, then maybe the Formula Nippon might be your series to watch.

Fuji Speedway could be a little easier to get to from Tokyo. It still requires you to do your homework. Twin Ring Motegi is a bit harder to get to and needs homework also. Basically, it will take a few trains and some bus rides to get to either of these places from Tokyo.

If you would like to watch some of the smaller motorsports venues, such as D1 drifting, it will take much more homework and effort. Usually the D1 series hold their events on small tracks designed for karting and limited car use. These tracks are way out in the middle of nowhere.
D1 has one event that is very easy to get to from Tokyo. They hold a D1 drift event at the Fuji TV parking lot in Odaiba. The event is fun to attend, there are lots of things besides drifting going on. The event goes on into the night, and during the day they have stunt bikes, bike races, FMX, and kids kart racing.

In my opinion any and all of these events are filled with fun and excitement. Personally, since I ventrured into touring cars years ago, I enjoy the JGTC more because of the cars raced and the series history.

The crap like you see on the movies, that is all fake. One could not drift in a parking lot in Shibuya or the middle of Tokyo.

There is a midnight car scene on the C1 loop of the Shutoko. Also out in Daikokufuto, there are usually people hanging out with all sorts of classic and modern Japanese machinery. Around New Years at Daikokufuto, the Bozozoku and Yankees come out with their crazy cars and ratty sounding bikes. It is a scene.
