Drifting
I haven:t been proof reading, and I:m making the same mistakes over again and again. I refuse to relearn typing for a Japanese keyboard layout. Rain yesterday. Masaharu calls sometime when we:re still sleeping to say, if it keeps up he has plans for us. It rains all day. The sun sets and it only rains harder… We pick up […]
A Night on the Kakegawa Touge
Tried to run an all out car day yesterday, as a sort of escape. Went drifting at Motorland Mikawa with Masaharu and his old Sunny in the morning. The boro boro style at best. Left the gas cap 2hours behind in Hamamatsu. Left turns were sloshing gas all over the track... they punted us, and we couldn:t rig anything up to make the officials happy. 3500Y gets you one hour on the track... run as much as you want... small track... 2nd gear action, third gear if your ballsy... built just for drifting. Another 2000Y gets you your second hour [...]

She got my number, from […]
My Farwell to AE86 ??For Now??
Another weekend come and gone. Lethbridge is about how I remember it. The old backroads are short and tight and maybe not everything memory stacked them up to be, and the town is a little more crowded than before… but what can I expect. The drifting event was great. I learned a lot about driving. Practiced up, performed well… shredded […]
