      I was 6, at around 1am just outside of Kanagawa when that very thing happened to my mother/her boyfriends rental car. That’s why I pursued information on the club, from such an early age (aged 14), and why when I got in contact with some members and learned a bit of their story, made a concentrated effort to protect their privacy.

      Japanese history and culture is fascinating. You can see parallels in the way honour codexes worked in the Samurai age of the Edo period to the present day with honour codexes or rules among the Yakuza, in politics, in businesses or in the wider society. It is all connected, through a shared history, culture and values that stem from it.

      The Japanese culture can go either way from a westerner point of view. Often you get really awesome very interstings stuff, other times you're like "what the fuuuuuuuuuuuu..." When it comes to street racing it helps that their cops were so slow at the time. Even in the 70s and 80s cops in America weren't as easy to run from.

      True. It's amazing how they managed to do proper conduct to the point where the some of the cops leave them alone because they simply "don't do anything dangerous".
      Touge was closed in both roads, with scouts, comms and lightsticks on both sides.
      drift trains were maintained in a way where you signal properly.
      some touge courses forbids lane changing.
      the C1 runners stop any action once traffic thickens.

      The world needs to learn a lot feom japan, especially how to deal with modified cars and racing. They didn't just ban street racing in Japan, they first made sure that there is an alternative in the form of race tracks. There is a racetrack near every bigger city in japan and most of them are completely open for the public and driving there is something like 15$ for a day. Meanwhile here in Germany the only track that's open for public is the Nürburgring and it cost 40€ for one lap, no wonder so many people stick to street racing.

    I don't think half the people here realize just how much it takes to build a car that can do 180+mph flatout for that long. The immense stress and heat on components means its not just a blind competition of who has the most horsepower. This isn't forza where you slap some turbos on a corvette and go flat out on your imaginary highway, turbos generate an exceptional amount of heat under high pressure which is why many of these cars are engineering masterpieces...all in the 80's

      @Derid I don’t think you understand what such a car can do at those speeds, with that much power, for that long. It absolutely is heat. Heat is not the only factor though. It is also component wear. You have to understand your engine has to be incredibly reliable to run for that long under that much pressure. And this is not only the engine. Think about the gearbox or even the wheelhubs. They drove for long under the absolute highest pressure. Cars aren’t built to do that. They’re built to be reliable and long lasting. These cars were masterpieces for how they were constructed.

    Well to that I say
    Straight roads are for fast cars, Corners are for fast drivers.
    Edit: if you guys think about it (either going fast or drifting), you are taking dangerous turns so quit saying that in a highway you still have to turn because doing a turn at high speeds with small amounts of downforce is the same as drifting around tight roads with no traction.

    The club was not formed in 87', it started as early as 82'.
    Yoshida-san, president of the club, was originally a "junior" member of the ACC (American Car Club) which was one of the famed clubs to exist during the Tomei-era.
    In 82', drag racing along Aoyama route declined to a halt, however young Yoshida-san wanted to continue seeking recognition during his early years, thus leaving the former group and created his own, the Mid Night club (or commonly referred to as Mid Night simply).
    In 85' began the transition to the newly opened Bayshore line.
    The club originally consisted of 4 founding members, slowly they started opening up applications for drivers to participate in their club.
    In the early years the requirements to participate were relatively less-strict, one however has to be a seasoned racer of course.
    The requirements however only gotten stricter when it was realized that participants would only join the club for the banner/bumper stickers, thus the need to retain quality drivers in order to uphold the prestige of the club name.
    The popular quote "Drifting and autocross is for the weak; We only do maximum velocity" is a complete made-up quote by some anonymous fanboy, no club member ever upheld such extreme ego to announce this.
    The club never disbanded, the club is still very well alive up to this day. However the members now indulge more towards circuit racing and do not mass-promote street racing anymore.
    Currently the club still has new members joining, they can be seen bearing a pink bumper sticker which signifies their rank as "kouhai".

    A lot romanticism seen through rose tinted specs here. The Mid Night club spent lots of money on their cars, yes. But not one Yen on driver training, and it showed.
    Important point missed by the narrator: When Wangan racing was at it's height (1987 - 1994) the Wangan was bits of roads to nowhere - sections of highway on artificial islands linking unfinished tunnels to yet-to-be-completed bridges, which is why they were ideal for v-max racing. Why else would anyone go there?
    Once it was all linked together, even at midnight, it became packed with trucks and minivans full of families, surfers or snowboarders heading out of the city on weekends (depending on season). Most petrol heads realised the fun times were over and took to the hills or, better still, dedicated circuits; but not these guys. As for the assertion that they were "successful businessmen"...
    well, I suppose technically that's true.

    That drifting quote seems misguided. In the same vain different fighting styles serve different purposes, so do different driving styles.
    Also like others have mentioned in the comment section, for most people, top speed is a battle of who has more money. Unless you're the talented engineer working on your own car as you push it to the brink of breaking, I wouldn't have such an inflated ego to say people who auto-cross and drift are weak.

      I feel like that quote badly translates into english as well, if it was even said in that case (sober). I also think the 2 million dollars put into the cars was mistaken for yen. At the time 2 million yen would have been around 150000~ usd in the late 80s, which would have been roughly 350k-450k today which is still a lot but not 2 million (4.5 today) which i very highly doubt they would have put into their cars.

      Technically, the Wangan Midnight comics are fiction, though some people have tried to recreate the cars. The author said that he used the S30Z as the protagonist’s car since that was the prize he won from one of his earlier comics. The cars were most likely chosen because a) they were famous for their speed, or b) the author wanted to explore using different cars for the purpose of top speed runs (Evos, Z31s).
      But I will say that the video should have mentioned the comics, be it big or small.

    A lot of you show awe at how responsible these street racers were in Japan. Thing is, most of them were, not just Mid Night. Loss of life in Japan after WWII became such a devastating thought that people began to show huge concern in their own actions if there was any possibility of harming someone. Bosuzoku would beat the living tar out of anyone and they were wreckless. But let's make a distinction. Bosuzoku were criminals and thugs. Their honor code was only for themselves. Like pirates. Street racer gangs comprised of middle or upper class were always very courteous, but not why you would think. If a thug hurts someone in a crash, they have nothing to lose because their status is already low. If a businessman or doctor hurts someone, they can lose their job, wealth, family status, family honor, and much more. Even if they are KNOWN to have street raced, they can lose all this. The cause for most was selfish, not noble. So don't go mistaking them as knights in shining armor for racing. As soon as someone was injured, they disbanded instead of defending their name and putting blame to the bosuzoku. They did this to lay low from police, not because they were honorable. I'm all for street racing. I think the risk you take is your own. Anytime you risk someone else's life, you're a thug or an idiot. Young drivers have too much confidence in their abilities. Mid Night were all men in their mid 30's to early 50's.

    This club was the basis - or inspiration, if you like - for the Wangan Midnight manga series. Think if it as the sister to Initial D.
    Whilst Initial D focused more on mountain trails and drifting, Wangan focused on the route mentioned in the video, and, like the club, focused on tuning cars to be the fastest machine in the Bayshore route.
    The main car in the series, the Fairlady S30z (Datsun 240z) - aptly nicknamed "The Devil Z" - features specs similar to the Z in the Club.
    The manga even referenced the Club as a night bar with the same name.
    Like Initial D, it got so popular to the point where an anime and live action movie adaptation were made, as well as several arcade games, the current in the line being Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6R in Japan (WMMT6 being the most recent release to South Asian countries, and Maximum Tune 4 in North American releases).

      Yep, the inspiration for the "Devil Z" was the ABR Hosoki S130z, and the "Blackbird" was based off the Mid Night Porsche Works/Yoshido Specials 930.
