The Pine Ridge Mall in Chubbuck, Idaho, hosted three SCCA autocross events this year, and for an encore hosted an Inaugural Drift Car event.
Work began on the evening of 04OCT2024, establishing the area of the parking lot that would be used. Formula Drift-Rudy Hansen, Apex Idaho, Pocatello Car Club, and a host of others, helped make the inaugural smoke show possible.
The cleanest that part of the parking lot has been in decades!
They were still prepping the parking lot the next morning.
Waiting in the wings, 05OCT2024:
Plenty of seating, at a safe distance.
Warming up (teasing) the spectators who were straggling in:
Too bad they didn’t drift this patriotic van.
The pros show you how:
It’s amazing how cars sliding around light poles can hold people’s attention for several hours. One more time:
Due to some instigation (possibly by a secret society of conspiratorial automotive Sith Lords posing as Jedi Masters), the Pine Ridge Mall in Chubbuck, Idaho, held its inaugural indoor Winter/New Year automobile show.
It was the weekend of January 13th & 14th, 2024.

The Voyenno-morskoy Flot Rossiyskoy Federatsii (Military-Maritime Fleet of the Russian Federation) launched 26 cruise missiles at DAIISH targets in Aleppo, Idlib and Raqqa. The Russian ships are located in the Caspian Sea, near Iran.
Aleppo Governorate: Syrian Arab Army and Air Force continue battles with U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham = Syria]) for control of the Syrian Air Force Academy, as well as many locations across the governorate. Syrian Arab Army Air Force bombed eight U.S. and Japanese made gun-trucks on Hareitan-al-Lairamoun road.

The neo-imperialist government of Japan talks big about not tolerating terrorism, but the latest pics out of North Africa and the Levant reveal that Islamic State (DAISH, al-DawlA al-Islamiya al-Iraq al-SHam[Syria]) has received fleets of brand new Toyota pickup trucks.
HZJ79 Landcruiser Toyotas of DAISH.
These are not a mish-mash of ‘stolen’ vehicles seen before but are obviously fleet ordered vehicles, being of two models of Toyota trucks outfitted similarly and with the same color paint. I suspect the fleet order was placed through the United Arab Emirates, possibly through a company known as Western Group.
I’ve identified the latest model of the diesel powered Toyota HZJ79 Landcruiser (aka Landcruiser 70, when equipped with weapons it become the Toyota Type 1 Technical) pickup truck (not sold in the U.S.) and what looks like the 2014 HiLux, 2 and 4 door pickup.
Jubilant DAISH in their brand new Ford F-350.
The Toyotas make up the bulk of the fleet ordered trucks, while smaller fleets of Japanese Nissans and U.S. made Fords can be seen (and no they’re not those stolen Fords but fleets of similar equipped and painted Fords).
You can’t feel sorry for those Japanese ‘hostages’ killed by Islamic State, after all the first one killed was an outright mercenary hired by one of the U.S.-Saudi-Israeli backed ‘rebel’ groups to train them how to fight (oh, sorry, he was a “security contractor”). The second Japanese killed was a journalist who was obviously pro-rebel and anti-Syrian government. In fact, it turns out that many of the ‘western’ hostages were already working with rebel groups when they were supposedly captured by Islamic State.
It should be noted that the U.S. military has been supplying Iraqi forces with the exact same vehicles!
On 06 November 2012, Japan’s Nissan Motors reduced its expected profits for the Japanese fiscal year (ending in March 2013), by 20%!
Nissan, like Mazda, is blaming most of it on crashing sales in China. Nissan also blames the bad economy in Europe, and the increasing value of the Japanese yen (which makes Japanese cars more expensive).
Nissan reported sales numbers in China similar to what Mazda reported days ago. Nissan experienced a 35% drop in September, then a 41% drop in October!
Chinese consumers are boycotting Japanese products (even those actually made in China) over Japan’s take over of an island that China says belongs to them.
After shutting down a Peugeot Citroën factory, United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is now going after Renault and Nissan.
On April 6, 2012, UANI sent a letter to Renault’s president. As in its threatening letter to General Motors it is full of unsubstantiated claims against Iran: “Renault’s business dealings in Iran directly support the Iranian regime’s ability to develop its illegal nuclear weapons program, support its terrorist proxies and pursue a brutal campaign of repression against the Iranian people.”-UANI statement
Renault has actually seen business go up in Iran, producing 93,578 vehicles in Iran in 2011.
UANI is also attacking Nissan, after the Japanese car maker got a $1 billion USD deal to make taxis for New York City: “New York taxpayer dollars should not benefit a corporation, like Nissan, that partners with a regime that is the world’s number one state sponsor of terror and has formed an alliance with al Qaeda.”-UANI statement
The biggest lie about that statement is the fact that Iran is not associated with al Qaeda!!! The U.S. created al Qaeda is actually at war with Iran!!! Al Qaeda leaders have issued fatwas calling for the killing of Shi’a Muslims, who just happen to make up the majority of people living in Iran, why the hell would Iran support such an organization?!?
Oh, and I thought al Qaeda was the number one terrorist organization?
It really looks like the U.S. sanctions against Iran are actually meant to hurt Western (European/Japanese) competitors to U.S. corporations.
Up until the mid 1980s Nissans were sold in the U.S. under the Datsun name. Now Nissan is reviving that brand, but not for the United States.
Nissan says Datsun vehicles became known as cheap but reliable cars. They are reviving the brand name for the Indonesian, Indian and Russian car markets.
Datsun started in 1931 as DAT motors. Its smaller cars were called DAT-son, as in son of DAT. In 1933, Nissan took over the company and changed the name to Datsun, because the Japanese Emperor is considered a descendant of the sun goddess Amaterasu, and because ‘son’ means loss in Japanese.
The cars will be made in factories in those countries. Indonesia is now the number one car market in South East Asia, 890,000 vehicles were sold there in 2011!
Nissan announced they will spend $2 billion to build yet another factory, in Mexico. They already have two factories in Mexico. With three factories they hope to push out one million cars every year. But guess what? Those cars are not for sale in the United States.
Nissan is selling the cars in the newly created CELAC (new united South America). The United States is no longer the worlds car selling market, South America is!
Nissan is already pushing out one million cars per year in Japan and China (again cars not for sale in the U.S.). Honda and Mazda also announced plans to increase production for the CELAC market.
