Japan Alpen Rally 2021

When we started the rally, the Japanese Alpen Rally, hosted by the Japan Motorist Club (JMC), was a big event.It is the usual harsh rally to go to Mt. Norikura in a rally for three days.Naturally, most of the main stages were gravel, especially Norikura seemed to be the ultimate bad road.There are many reasons (?) I have never been there.

The domestic rally at that time was a time rally and a secret rally.Neither the course nor the checkpoint (CP) is open.It is a rally that always runs according to the specified speed for CPs that do not know where to come out while following the frame diagram, and competes for the accuracy.The measurement is performed at a minute, but the winning or losing is still because most of the courses at that time are not being put on the instruction speed on the gravel and scoring points.The division of drivers and navigator was equally divided.

He participated in the classic alpine bearing the name of the Japanese Alpen Rally.Last year, all events were canceled due to Corona evil, so this year is the second time in two years.The car is the usual Daihatsu Shalman.Jiro Taguchi, whose navigator has been in combination all the time.In my home, I call it Girosa, but I don't know.

Sharman was slapping on Shigeyuki Konishi's A/M/S, but this year, Konishi was grateful for being able to carry it on a panel van.

That night, we warmed the old dating at the hotel ...Where is the contents of that beer bottle?At the same time, I'm a little worried.No, it's not the person, but the rally ...

The starting start of the next morning was non -biled.It was too laid down to make a mistake from the hotel to the startpoint of Wasabi Farm and get lost in danger.

Other crews are tested at the starting point and the expected courses, and they are different from the Gutaka us.

More than 20 rally cars, led by Kenjiro Shinozuka's Galant A II GS, start for the former rally course.My Charman is a bib 4, and the engine is unprecedented.

The odometer check that corrects the trip meter between the official measuring car and the vehicle has passed, and the no -check section is over.Finally, the rally starts on the mountain road.The course is almost a turamac.

Still, the instruction speed is a little higher than usual.Sharman, made in 1976, runs hard and is on the instruction speed.The series of twisted curves responds, but it's still fun.However, there is no instruction for the navigation.Do you drink too much beer? that!1CP comes out someday.Nanka Ayashii ...Signs that have lost a lot.Apparently, this rally's game is gone in 1CP.As I knew later, 1CP had 90 seconds, 2CP had 72 seconds, and it was outside the beginning.Is it because of beer?By the way, I was drinking more this night.

On the way back to the relay point after finishing SEC1, the engine failed for a moment, but I did not care because it returned.If you were active, you must have inspected the service.It's loose.

Returned to SEC2 in the afternoon of the same day. I wore 4CP for 18 seconds early and followed the Sitchhakamechaka rally, but Shalman is fine.Go up the Hofukuji Pass.Because the altitude is high, the fuel is dark and the engine does not turn neatly.It is a characteristic of a cab car.

Still, when driving was fun, suddenly the T-B engine stopped reacting on the uphill.The speed drops rapidly.The corner was slightly wide in the corner.Rally cars come from behind, so stand with a triangular display board.

Turn the cell even if you know it is useless.It turns well, but the plug doesn't seem to be on fire.Since it is a mechaon and no spare parts, I will rest everything.

I can't make a phone call to get SOS.The Wi-Fi that opened with the feeling of holding the straw is connected, and asks Konishi for help by LINE phone.It was just like lunch, but he was doing Mugumugo, but he came here in a hurry.But it is impossible to get 4T cars so far.I have to think about how to get down somehow ...

When I was in trouble, the car came up and helped me.It was really the power of people.He pushed Charman to make a U -turn, even though it was light on a narrow uphill.I knew it, but I forgot to hear the name.One of them is Minusaku's wife.Almost two people made a U -turn.Thank you for your efforts!

The rest is about 6km downhill.While praying that there was no climb, he arrived safely to the village below and stopped on a wide road.Waiting has been waiting for a long time.It is reliable as if you found reinforcements in the cavalry just before annihilation.Sharman was checked for the break of the ignition coil and was loaded on the panel van with a winch.

As an aside, the current car has almost no genuine tools, but about 45 years ago, the car was loaded with genuine tools that could be lightly maintained.Of course plug wrench.I didn't wonder, but Konishi, a rally driver more than two generations, was very impressed.

The short rally for the first time in two years is over.There are many regrets.I thought the coil was suspicious.I thought beer was suspicious ...I'm not going to reflect on it.
