well.....
Today was awesome....to the 100 power x50...it was perfect...well...almost perfect..
woke up early due to anticipation of the day ahead, with a slight headache from sleepin in a funny position...and got dressed and jumped on the computer for a tad...couse I was up so early and the ride was not going to pick me up til 6 am....
anyways...we got to the mini-circuit on time...got passed by a civ type r with a full load...I show you the load later...hehe...and we set up Sute's car for the fun day ahead of us....
I'll say this...I have a new respect for cars....all of them...
the stagea kicked ass...if the driver had more practice..it would have been awesome....I had to give him a few hints...hehe...he listened and knocked his time from 38.7 down to a 36.1....we worked good together as a team.
that car has balls.
then jumped into a civic type r (ek9)...with a crazy driver....and almost crapped myself....literally..the dinner from the last night kinda turned into a soft poo...but lets not go there.
let me put it this way...the monster B is building...with the driving abilities that just slightly surpasses Chip's driving...(sorry Chip...this kid can drive)..and an attitude of...well...like mine (I don't care if it breaks on me...as long as it gets past the finish line)....and put those all together...it was a scary
needless to say...I was looking for a toilet after that ride...luckilly I found one...hehe.
Then after the speed demons ride...I wandered to the other tracks...and guess what...I heard some noises that sounded too famillilar....could it be?????
Three tracks over...was the SuperAutobacs drift show!!!!
I had no idea about it....
but anyways...remember that blue skyline in my pics???....it was there tearing up tires like a monster.
And about 75 other hot full JDM drift machines...and I ran into an old buddy..and he remembered me..hehe....Chunky Bai, one of the Signal Autos drifter twins..and Kuroii san was also there..We first met at the NJ drift comp 2 years ago, and Chunky remembered me right off the bat, it took Kuroii-sam a few minutes..but when I said red S30....he remembered right away. S30 is the chassis code for the old Z cars. We talked for a few minutes, and then they jumped in their personal cars and hit the track.
Then guess what happened......
The battery died on the camera
I used up 96mb of memory taking pics and vids on the other track, and when I got to the drift side...no battery left to take any more pics....so I misused the camera...98% grip driving...2%drift.....
And for the drfiting guys...there was tooo many things to take pictures of...and even then...my surplus of memory sticks would have been depleated in a heartbeat anyways...
But...holy cow...they can drift...even the begginers there puts us to shame...I only saw a few spins and at the percentage of the cars drifting/spin ratio is about 5%...they were awesome...so the rest of my day was going back and forth between tracks..in perfect weather...with no sunblock lotion...so I was a dead and tired burnt crab.
when we got home, we picked up the wife and two of her freinds, and we went to an izakaiya again...more beer...and more laughs
mostly about me fubaring up the photo show
anyways...with the amount of pics I have to upload..they will have to wait till I get back to America...I leave tommorrow for the ryokan...a resort in the mountains living the old style Japanese way for 2 days...so no internet, phones, tv, work, cars, busy schedual......nothing but baths, beer, good food, natureal sceanery and the wife and her freinds.
but I'll connect online in the morning before I go to see whats going on...
