-WARNING! LONG POST. A LOT OF PICS COMING THROUGH!-

Oh, it's been a while since i update my progress, The workshop's has been making me busy lately and it spent almost all of my time in the last few week, so no car updates. But hey, hard work pays well, right?
Well few days after all those things were done, my internet friends (remember the paint guy? same people.) invited me to attend this Season's Tsukuba Track Day simply for fun.



Y'all ever heard of Tsukuba, right? The Time-Attack mecca, something-something Option magazine,Battle Motoring.... Dunlop Bridge? Well long story shot there's a track event that always been held in every season. It consists of car show, drifting event and amateur/pro time attack event. We doesn't plan to enter the last two because, well, it's a show car.

Well until some of ours misread the event discipline....



We've been listed as the Time Attack entrees.

Like what the fuck dude we doesn't have a preparation for anything and 5 minutes later we've been put into racers' paddock.
Compared to others' car we're a bunch of lookers, but you know that's not the important thing in a time attack event. :facepalm:

(also the decals in the window has been remove for compability sake, i haven't could make them separable.)



As the predictable it is our car stole the most attention. For a few minutes we consider to cancel our entrees but in the end we just like "fuck it and lets have some fun."
Glad we're in the Amateur class though, otherwise we're gonna be humiliated so, fucking, hard.



As nervous as fuck i am i'm entering the pitlane. I don't want to push so hard since my car was basically an half-assed drift car and i don't bring any spare wheels at the moment.



As i launch into the track i could feel the VR38 kicking in. The engine was fucking amazing.... Unlike my driving skills.



In a range of 5 minutes i got a few lap times... Reaches 1:11 while the others mostly got lower than 1:04... Not bad for the car with drift setup... It's actually pretty fucking terrible, but oh well.

After all those fuck ups i park my car back while taking my Camera. I took some pics from the both Car Show and the Pro Time Attack event.
Sadly the camera battery died before i able to took some pics from the Drifting event.



Saw a S15 Silvia with brand new D-Max Bodykit. Intrestingly this car enters the Time Attack event while people mostly thought it was a Drift car from it's D-Max kit.



Someone's bring the Supreme F348 into the race track. As you might predict it was struggle to go fast since the car used to be a show car while sitting pretty, like too much.



i-don't-know-what-the-fuck-is-this. Pretty fast, though.

But this one.



Kakimoto NSX.



Nobody bats an eye when it left the paddock, then 54 seconds later, BAM. everyone's looks in amaze.
And it's the overall winner. How predictable!

After the event ends we had some our private gathering and some beers later we decided to took off and the next day i've arrived at home safely.
I Had a lot of blast, like fucking lot.

Now i had an urge to build a race car...
