My Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 trip

[Biggamehit]

Cliff notes:

-Left Northern Misawa Japan on Friday the 9th
-Got to Tokyo 8 hours later via Mini Van
-Went to show the next day
-My guys and I had press passes so we got access to some rather cool stuff
-Day was getting boring and then we went to the D1 demo and got to hang out with the D1 drivers and crew. We were able to walk the pits and check the cars out up close, cool machines.
-By far the coolest 3 days ill probably have this year.


Some mediocre pictures that I shot ( ones with me not in them ). Many more to come along with video from other guys that I was with who had better camera's

i am part of a group of Northern Japan American Drifters. we run a site called GaijinDrift.com

D1 guys come up to practice sometimes at our track. we just filled out paper work and got the passes as our site was recognized as legit coverage for northern Japan.


it was pretty sweet as it was my first Auto Salon to be able to walk right pass 1000 of Japanese nationals right into all of the restricted areas lol.

You got to stand beside all those D1 drivers. and goof off with them.

No fair. The only way I could do that is through my character, who drives a Hudson Hornet in the series...(in fiction, mind you..)

yea.. i was not in fan boy mode lol as im not like that around anyone.. they are just like all other drifters, they just get paid more and do it on TV lol. Very cool laid back guys such as myself.
