This California rally is vintage Japanese car heaven
What's so good about the future? This is what I was thinking when some folks at Mazda invited me and a handful of other journalists to join them on the second-annual Touge California. It's a rally for classic Japanese cars
 that covers a huge chunk of Southern California's twistier roads, where
 fans get to test their beloved machines. Oh, and it attracts swarms of 
admirers with cameras.
"It is not a race. It is a vintage touring rally," said Ben Hsu, editor 
in chief of Japanese Nostalgic Car, and one of the coordinators of the 
event. "In Japan, touge most definitely refers to racing, whether timed,
 in touge battles, or drifting antics. Touge California was created to 
give drivers of Japanese classics a taste, as close as possible, of the 
types of roads their cars were forged on."
