Nakamura-san is the “boss” of the Trickers car club/group/team/collective-of-people-who-put-TRICKERS-stickers-on-their-cars and runs a shop of the same name. And despite his intimidating looks, he is a jovial, kind-hearted guy who loves being an ambassador to drifting more than driving itself (it would seem) which is the reason for the event. So it is only appropriate that [...]

So the next morning, we power down to town and grab some food from the konbini (convenience store) and get back to the track as it opens. We gut the food and get down to business. We have a full day ahead of us: oil cooler/filter relocation kit, water temperature gauge, attempt to fix Omori [...]

Back in June, my brother, Steven, approached me with an idea for a trip. The idea involved me traveling over 12,000 miles, driving on the edge, 10 hours of jet lag either direction, and the potential for good times and good stories…hmmmm, naturally I was in. So where was all this going down? Japan…

Before we get to the rest of the Japan trip and Drift Matsuri pics and such, we wanted give a big thank you to all who supported our semi-last minute Red Cross fundraiser! All said and done, we raised just over 100 dollars ($106 to be exact) that will be donated to the Japanese Red [...]
Drift Matsuri: Missil80 Prep

We’ve got a short list of prep to knock out on the Missle prior to Drift Matsuri. The main concern is keeping the car cool. Drift Matsuri in the middle of summer will be hot. On this front, we’ll be installing a Yashio Factory two row that will be waiting for us at Ebisu. And, [...]

It seems like I was just doing a write-up for the 2010 Okinawa Motor Festival, but here I am back at it with some pics from the 2011 Okinawa Motor Festival. Much like last time, my notification of the event was happenstance – then it was a poster on a restaurant’s wall and this time [...]

When I arrived on Day 2, I found some the cars I showed in the Day 1 coverage already out on the track getting after it. I was super impressed with this S13. He was running pretty consistent lines and the car looked awesome.
Event: Okinawa Motor Festival 2010 – Day 1

When I caught wind of a drift competition going down this past weekend, I felt morally obligated to check it out. After all, I have been in Japan almost three months and I had yet to see any drifting. Okinawa Motor Festival 2010 held at Yukari Bokujou (a.k.a. The Bullring) would be where I cut [...]
