Road to Summer Touring | Kaido Racer (4K)

Summer Touring 2022 left a tremendous impact on our local car community. With Keith and Rudeboy working diligently to lead the way the Pacific Northwest has received a unique injection of “Kaido Racer Spirit” as Mitsuaki perfectly put it in the above video.
With the Rudeboy Custom Datsun 200sx being the showstopper at Summer Touring as well as the featured car at our end-of-summer Pop-Up Shop we figured it only made sense to take the hundreds of hours of footage that weren’t used in the After Movie and give you a look into the process that was involved for Keith and Rude to take the car from its New Year Touring spec and build it into what we saw this summer.
A massive part of the impact that the Kaido Racer Spirit has made is the creation of “teams” and no team captures what it means to come together better than Team Sexy Cowboys. In the middle of filming all of the progress on the Datsun, Dylan and Sandra found an opportunity to head over to the house that a handful of them rent. They expected to show up and start filming the prep that these guys were doing for Touring, but Team Sexy Cowboys had other plans. Make sure you watch this part of the video, nothing I could write here would do a better job of showing you how these guys operate.
Thank you, Keith and Rude, for everything that you have done to inspire others and bring this culture here. Thanks, Brooklyn for letting us put your film photos in the video and for sending us the cell clips of Keith cutting up a camper. The road to Summer Touring was just as fun as the night of the event itself; our whole team is still in awe of just how many people it brought together and just how much of an impact it has left.

I dont personally know Reid or Keith beyond reputation, but im ever thankful to them for reminding us what its all about. Time may pass, but the memories & friendships will last a lifetime. Looking forward to whats next, learning as much as possible, and getting more involved along the way!

weird dogs in and around cars 14/10 would subscribe again for 1000x more mr. dude

[@f31roger]

Great video and great people! I stopped by Reid's spot one of the nights when they were working on it and that's when they found the tail lights were dim and troubleshoot the issue. But it was super cool to see the car on the road.. super awesome.

[@Barton_Motors_Ltd]

GOOD AND ZASED

[@fwiskygatswag]

wow masterpiece ok

[@andrewlee88]

This is too cool to watch you guys livin this lifestyle. I used to read some Option Magazines that would have a segment dedicated to kaido racers back in the 90s, but the photos never told the full story. On the Rust Coast, your efforts would melt away after 1 winter, so keep on doing what ur doing while you can do it!

[@CheckpointJapan]

Thanks Andrew!

[@SandalsRacing]

[@CheckpointJapan]

Thanks a ton!

[@eduardobenassi3072]

You guys have inspired me to build my own kaido racer ✌️😎 Maybe not as funky as yours, I'm going for a cleaner build. Already started with the interior. There's probably less than 5 people doing it in an 8000 mile radius, but who cares? I'm literally the only dude driving a Cressida in my city 😂

[@chriistiinaaaa]

wear that storm trooper hat at the race track next

[@joshuanichol-edwards8218]

Every time a checkpoint.jp video drops I start to ascend into heaven. But I only ascend as long as the video is playing then I fall to earth hard as fuck on my face. Thank you for 18 minutes or ascending though❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
