Joji Luz Tribute Announcement

TORC will be joining the upcoming State of Speed LA Cars & Coffee on April 19 (7:00–10:00 AM) at the Milestar Tires / Tireco Headquarters.

In collaboration with State of Speed, Toyota Owners and Restorers Club (TORC), Japanese Classic Car Show (JCCS), and Japanese Nostalgic Car, will host a special Memorial – tribute section will be held in honor of Joji Luz — an original member of TORC, owner of Toy Garage, and former CABE Toyota and CABE Adventure launching manager.

A dear friend, great leader and an iconic figure in the classic Toyota community, Joji’s passion and dedication helped so much shape and inspire generations within the Toyota family and JDM community.

At this time, this gathering will be the only confirmed public opportunity for friends and community members to come together and pay their respects. We encourage those who wish to join us to attend.

TORC and JCCS are also considering organizing an additional memorial gathering later this summer. Details will be announced once confirmed.

We appreciate your continued support and ask everyone to join us in honoring Joji’s lasting legacy within the Toyota community.

TORC
