Porsche "The Rally -Amazing Moment-" Experience: Part 4 (Day 1) Kamisato PA-Oginoya Yokokawa-Lunch at the former Karuizawa Club

By the way, the first day of "Porsche The Rally -Amazing Moment-". After checking in at Kamisato SA and taking a restroom break, we will immediately head to the next checkpoint, Oginoya Yokokawa. At Kamisato SA, 911, which ran comfortably after getting out of the traffic jam, was steadily coming in.

After all, this is the first checkpoint that has just begun, so I wonder if there were many people who felt like "I have to go to the next one soon!" (Although we were the same ...). It seems like everyone was gone by the sword.

Well departure. From here until the goal on the first day, there was no traffic jam at all and I was just able to run comfortably. The scenery is all green in no time. It feels good! The weather was great. It might have been too hot for the 911 people who don't have an air conditioner ...

From Kamisato SA to Oginoya Yokokawa store was quick. Looking at the frame diagram, I was running while saying "I should have arrived in about 1 km", and I saw these Porsche flags. At the checkpoint, it is easy to understand like this, and many white Porsche flags are set up, so you can see it clearly.

On the other hand, I'm worried if I can't see the flag, but if I don't have the flag, I can easily tell that it's not here, so this flag was a very good source of security when looking for a checkpoint.

Here, when I brought the mount to the tent, the manager stamped it.

911s gathering together. There was a traffic jam up to Kamisato SA, so it fell apart, but from this area it became painful when the 911 became painful while running, and it was fun!

Let's start! At that time, I was worried that Mr. Air-cooled would not start the engine, but the mecha also accompanies this rally, so if there is something, the mecha will come and see it. That's right. In addition, there are several loaders available in case something goes wrong, so you can rest assured when you can't help.

Of course, it's best to be able to finish all the cars without incident, but I'm very grateful that I'm prepared for something, and this makes it cheaper for any car (older age, etc.). I think I was able to participate with all my heart.

At the checkpoint of the Oginoya Yokokawa store, I got anko mochi and a mini-kamameshi. Later, I talked with other entrants, but since it was early in the morning, everyone was "hungry" just around Oginoya.

The dilemma of "I can't buy Kamameshi even though I'm in Oginoya !!" (laughs). I wonder if this was one of the points like "It's right!"

and. Come there and distribute this "mini kamameshi"!

"Oh Porsche, you know! The next checkpoint is lunch, so I can't eat kamameshi here ... But I'm sure I'm hungry, so the two of us shared this small palm-sized kamameshi and hungry. It means to meet! It's too small size, but I think it's a good idea to eat this separately for two adults, but it's great if you can still taste a little Kamameshi! Thank you, Porsche! "

It's a very long impression, but I really think so and eat it right away! If you look at it. It was ruthlessly written as "candy" on this mini-kamameshi ... It wasn't a kamameshi ...

My disappointment at this time ... (tears) ← How hungry I am. No, of course, I had some food because I hadn't had the financier in the morning at all, but I just missed "Kamameshi Azuke" even though I was in Oginoya ^^

Now, let's take a second look and start! Next, we will aim for the former Karuizawa Club. Looking behind, Porsche and others are throbbing. It's kind of fun ~.

At this point, I was also happy because I finally met the older brother of the Porsche Center, which I had not met since the morning. When I met the people of the Porsche Center who knew the points, I was relieved, or I was happy like "Oh, I was!", Which was also one of the fun. The people who run it were the most wonderful people, but the joy of meeting the people I knew was many times different.

When you reach the road leading to the entrance of the former Karuizawa Club, Porsche flags will welcome you. If you run through the green, you will find the former Karuizawa Club. It is not a bright red, but it is a group of "Porsche running through the green"!

The old Karuizawa Club was a very nice place. When I went inside, it was decorated with Porsche, and even though it was a little thing, I thought that I had to carry and install this kind of thing, and the thoughts of the management side were conveyed.

Now. This is the first meal in this rally! Lunch seats are unreserved and you can sit anywhere you like, wherever it is available. And since it's a buffet style, we'll go get our own meals. Like small Temari sushi, fried chicken because it's a little fashionable, and sandwiches that are fashionable ^^, for the time being, all the meals looked and tasted nice.

Drinks are also self-serve. Of course, there is no alcohol. If I had alcohol, I thought that some people would drink only the co-driver ← I (laughs)? But here is a healthy lunch for everyone without alcohol.

… And when I got a lot of delicious food at the buffet and went back to my seat… No way. One plate main dish was served for each person. It also has a fine hamburger steak cooked nearby and ratatouille. It was very delicious, but I thought it was just a buffet, so the main dish with the addition (?) Made me quite full. Even though it is a mountain road from now on, the stomach is completely full. It's dangerous ~.

The former Karuizawa Club could be eaten indoors or outdoors. The weather is nice and it is great to eat outside in the right climate of Karuizawa. Moreover, Porsche and others can be seen from the outside (even from inside through the glass). This is exactly what I longed for, "meal while watching my car"!

I had a lot of lunch and said, "The following people will come more and more, so I have to get out early." When I tried to stand up, I was told that "dessert is on the rooftop!". Yeah! Come here, this time dessert in another place? ?? ?? … If you go up the stairs as you are guided, you will find it.

Wow, a very nice sight is spreading in front of me!

The roof looks like this. It was possible to have dessert, coffee, etc. by sitting and standing (self), and it was the most wonderful dessert time in the really pleasant weather and pleasant greenery.

Furthermore, even more! It wasn't the only place here. Looking under the building from this place ...

Ohhhhh, full of 911! !! It's a masterpiece! It's too beautiful.

I think that the scenery where so many and various 911s are standing in the green is really something that can only be seen on postcards or calendars, but that is the reality. It is spreading in front of you. Really impressed. It's too nice.

I felt that all 911s were loved and cherished by the owners.

The stopped 911s were really proud to be loved by the owners. I never get tired of seeing why it's so cool.

I was full of stomach and heart, and it was a really pleasant lunch! I think that it was a lot of trouble just to guide this much 911 and park everything properly. However, the cooperation of all the operators was wonderful, and I think that the operation was beautiful without any major delays. Thank you for your lunch in the best environment.

Now, when I'm full, I'll drive on the mountain road toward the next checkpoint, "Takamine Kogen Hotel". Recklessness to go on a mountain road with overeating! Moreover, while looking at the frame diagram. At the briefing session, I was repeatedly told, "The mountain road while looking at the frame map is quite tough, so please take a sickness stop!"

In fact, when deciding on this route, it seems that there were some people who had a hard time as the management went through the mountain road while looking at the frame diagram for confirmation after deciding. What will happen now! I'm looking forward to it ~.
