Cool. So you're just not into the whole thing. Which is fine.
But it is definitely not Takeshi's Castle on wheels. It's a Sporting event as you've mentioned.
A quite important and serious one, within Japanese culture/society, since it's the only legal way of betting.
NJS is they're bureau of control over every single component used on track racing. That's it.
Westerners made it what it is. A fucken circus.
Japanese are Japanese, Their Keirin is merely a reflection of the whole lot.
IMHO that's what makes it great.
