The Far East closed another show season with a bang as the Truck Masters Finale outnumbered its previous year with record numbers. The best of the best came to compete for the top trophies. Trucks came out from all corners of Japan for what turned out to be a wonderful, sunny day. As always, however, the day started out cold with menacing clouds overhead. This year's show pulled in more than 500 trucks with ease, which led to a parking lot packed to the brim.
We look forward to next year's show to see what else they can come up with to impress us.
