Hitomi-go at Meihan Sports Land - MORE!

I went on a photo/video taking frenzy this day!

Beautiful S15-


S14-

S13-


Onlookers usually slap the wall in hopes of egging on the drives to get closer and closer-

Runs were usually about 8 minutes long and as soon as one was finished, the next group headed out.  Sometime the drivers go out onto the track in a cloud of rubber burning smoke but unfortunately this group was pretty sedate-



I love the dashboard table and shift knob-

Rare to see anywhere but completely stupid to have one in Japan-

This Stagea was kicking ass all day-

And, here it is-

I liked the look of this FD.  Really....beefy-

The judges-

A RWD Skyline GTS ripping it up-

The aforementioned Stagea-


Badass Corolla-

It looks like a GTR....

It looks like a GTR drifting with that lack of counter steer-

 Stock looking FD trying his best-

The GTR looking car had a GTR engine.....  Could it be a real GTR.....



This car was about to go out onto the track-

So, I promptly knocked on the window to ask for a ride.  He was incredibly welcoming but he didn't say no!  I quickly ran back to another foreign drifter I had met earlier to ask if I could borrow his helmet and jumped back into the car-

Unfortunately, he wasn't very good.  This was his best run while I was in the car-


 These two S15s were practicing their tandem drifts and were getting closer and closer throughout the day-

In Japan, a "high five" is called "high touch."  That is why I laughed and thought about how much fun it would be to work there-
