Got a new sticker, think its quite fitting for the way I treat my car on track.
Got a drift day at Honjo circuit this Saturday running in expert class with the big boys, little worried but I got assured I should be fine. Will be doing all incar camera footage all day so hopefully there will be some good door to door battles.

Ahhh the memories, this time they will all be captured on tape. Heading out to Ebisu this whole weekend with the Trusty Canon HD camera and filming all the action! I have 900 minutes worth of DV tapes for the camera, lets see how many tapes I can use!

Sad i wont be drifting but these things happen, I have a drift day coming up this month anyway! Just packed my Kei car up with all my camera gear and now we are ready to go!

So what do we do when we arn’t driving our life size cars? We drift RC cars. We use to have quite a few big RC nights where all the team / friends would get together and battle it out all night. We dont do it as much now days but every now and then we will pull them out for a quick spin around Hoshino’s track at his workshop.

My personal car, I’m not huge on looks but its got a tuned ECU, aftermarket engine, locked front and rear diffs, plastic / rubber mix tires for higher speed drifting and bad ass scando flicks, something you can’t do running normal hard plastic tires.
