# BigSmoke : Hey I live at Tsukuba (the city, not the track. The track itself is located at Shimotsuma city, a neighbouring city), my crib is just 18 kms from the track. Feel free to come here if you want to!Hey Smoke, Left my house yesterday. Just got done at the trackday, mind if I crash at your place? PM me the address and I will swang by. I failed to mention that I got some used tires for the S13, they are the same Bridgestone tires as before, just lower profile. I was actually able to find someone in Osaka to trade tires with.   Anyways the drive down through Tokyo was wild as always. Pulled up to Tsukuba around noon. The car was not able to pass the tech inspection because my battery was loosely secured in the trunk. I was fortunately able to borrow a ratchet-strap from a fellow racer, who didn't hesitate to offer me one of his older ratchet straps. Anyways, I was able to get the hang of this whole drifting thing rather easily, the S chassis sure makes it easy! First couple corners I understeered into the sand pretty hard. I was able to gain more and more angle with every lap. The CA18 turbo is definitely an underdog when it comes to sliding!    After the trackday, I cruised into the city of Tsukuba to crash at Big Smoke's place. This guy is totally gnarly when it comes to his builds. Mad respect for him. Anyways, as I write this I am laying in bed offloading the images from my camera into my editing software. I dropped a few of the raw shots above for you guys. Next time I will try to bring my GoPro so I can snag some POV videos. If anyone knows a good way to mount it let me know. Before I leave Smoke's I will be sure to slide him some V$ for his hospitality. |
