traveling to Laughlin

I had to drive to Laughlin NV, for the Formula D Pro Am to Judge. instead of driving by myself, I went up with acoulpe of my friends. the 15 fwy was jammed packed! so Lawerance (A-Spec) told me to take a side street. turns out to be a dirt path that went up the mountains, no guard rails, it was like rallying!
My poor car! only 6K on the odameter, I had to go though rivers and over big rocks! I hope the undercarrage is ok? :( Oh, thats Yoshioka on the right. (D1 Driver)
And just 3min from my destination I get pulled over by a cop! cought doing 79mph in a 45mph. zone.

Super Street Time attack

November 8th Masa and I brought out the Mine's GT-R to Buttonwillow for the Super Street Time Attack.
We had Tarzan driver the car. Unfortunatly we only brought 1 set of S tires (which was only good for 3 runs) and Tarzan could not get a good time. best time was 1.52 :(
it's me, Masa, Nakayama (cheif mech), Nikura (Mr. Mines) & Geka...
After weres we went to eat at "Kan" in Torrance and look who was eating at the table besides us...? Andy Luk (Formula D) & Dai Yoshihara!
This is Nikura-san telling Dai to leave Nitto and go with Bridgestone then they can work more together....
