Kday 2013 Coverage…The Lost Photos…Part 2 of 2…


Happy Friday all… I was trying to get the rest of these photos up yesterday but was caught up doing a bunch of other shit and driving around all over Orange County so I didn’t get a moment to sit down at the office to knock these out. As mentioned in Part 1, these are photos from the Kday 2013 event that somehow managed to get lost in my computer’s hard drive. It rarely opens but there are those times when I just have too much content to post that I miss out on some really good photos. Koji Karimata did a great job of getting these shots so I didn’t want them to go to waste. While Shota Mori typically covers the trip from start to finish like I do, Karimata is more in-depth when it comes to the coverage of the cars themselves as he practically gets a shot of every car at the event. There are some cars that I don’t see really fitting the style of this site so I have left them out. He gets so many photos that I usually have to go through all of them and only pick the select few that I want for the site. I appreciate the effort and the fact that he does get many of the cars because there are times when I see a car in the background of someone else’s photos that I would only see in his set. Anyways, without rambling on any further. Check out the second half of his coverage of the Kday 2013 “Season 3” event organized by my good friend Takeshi Kobayashi from Type_K Autosource Japan….
