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 |

What's the name of the guy you're standing next to in the last pic? I know he's famous and I've seen him in a magazine once, but I don't know his name... |

Just im a little low on the all powerful Japanese yen at the moment and my buddy wasnt in town. Ah well, there's always the Tokyo Motor Show (?) right? Aside from the booth girls, pro race cars and drift cars, looks like i didnt miss much. Neat. Pics, none-the-less. |
