Day 1 - Friday the first of May.

woke up early on the first of the month.
headed down to the Angel stadium where i had a media/pit pass with my name on will call at the d1 booth..

mm.. the smell of empty parking lot at 8:30 in the morning


First met up with the Inada brothers with the stream Jr. car. I wasn't expecting Daijiro was going to drive.
yes its a s13 hatch, g35 rear, and 350z front.
so its a SG1350. i spoke to Hiroshi, and he told me that Top Secret did all the customization for the parts to fit..


The J car morning line up, fresh off the boat.

Saito's personal chaser... pretty baller i must say. with BN aero




Hello stranger. it's been more than a year since the last time i saw Nomuken. Last time i saw him, i bumped in to him at Yoshinoya in the hood.

look at that concentration and stance when smoking that cigarette...
