Hello, this is Harada.
The other day, it was held at Tsukuba Circuit on Sunday, October 1st.
I went to the 2017 CLUBMAN RODE RACE.
This is the final game of the 2017 series.
Members of the TRIDE RACING TEAM will also be participating in the race, so come and support them.
Team members participating in
Early in the morning, as soon as the circuit gates opened
I'm busy preparing for vehicle inspection before qualifying, getting ready, pre-race meetings, etc.
We will be dispatched early in the morning to suit the players.

Oh? A bike next to a tiger...
at 5:20 in the morning
We met at the Moriya parking area on the Tokiwa Expressway.

This is Kotani from Kadoya staff and planning team.
Young and rich in career
I also have work experience overseas
He is full of vitality, active, and friendly.
Gate in with Kadoya's next generation hope!

Representative of TRIDE MOTORCYCLES
Mr. Oishi also arrived.
Immediately unload the race car
Prepare for vehicle inspection.

After the vehicle inspection and before the qualifying run
A meeting will be held with riders and pit crew.

After the meeting ended and the engine warmed up,
It will soon be time for qualifying runs.
Until the rider changes into a racing suit and moves to the pit.
Wait for a while.

In front of our paddock booth
This is a waiting area before moving from Paddock B to Paddock A.
It suddenly became hectic and lively.

here we go
It's finally here, Kubota-san.
lift your hips up from the chair
Thread the sleeves into the suit.
Since joining the LOC
Mr. Kubota's racing suit has never had a fall or crash.
It fits well to the body, and the horse mackerel is coming out.
So beautiful!

This two shot gives me chills.
Seita-kun and Machine's INDIAN SPORTS SCOUT, and
Okamoto-kun will be joining the pit crew instead of participating in the race this time.

Anyway, Kotani-kun!
Even though it was my first time participating in support.

Lively wherever you are
Before I knew it, he was constantly moving around doing this and that.
The paper in your hand
Time, ranking, and grid chart for the final after qualifying.
Why do you notice every detail?

engine starter
This is my first time being appointed as a starter.
In the pit road start qualifying
It was a shabby move that made the riders nervous and irritated before the race.
I felt pretty depressed.
``You can never make a mistake in the finals...''
Mr. Kubota was one step short of pole position.
Starting from 2nd place on the front row
No, I was nervous.

The finals started safely
This time I used this machine
Mr. Kubota said he would drive the famous British car Matchless-G50.
As the word says
Even from our eyes that always watch
Mr. Kubota's spirit is clearly conveyed.
Preliminaries, finals and
It was a really great run.

From the time I started racing until now
From engine and body assembly to exterior painting
Mr. Kubota did everything himself.
I admire that racing spirit.

It was loaded onto the back of Mr. Kubota's car.
FRP racing tank
This is for my racer, which will be restarted after a long time.
When will I be able to race with everyone again?
Although there are no plans yet
for repainting
I decided to ask Mr. Kubota.
The race track is always
Excited, excited
It makes my heart warm.
