[MoNkEy_MaGiCx]

haha, yeah.
i think the chaser is just SLIGHTLY heavier and bigger than the hachi.
just slightly.

good luck this year man!

[slideways2004]

i still remember you as the hatchi driver. that cream colored car was a great car.

is the s15 you will be driving white? i think i've seen it before

[berzo12]

[_PG_]

HIRO!!! Make it cream colored for the original hachi. I remember how you had that Bride Maxis and you couldn't talk to the passenger cause the seat hwas so big! Haha. And what happened to that ghetto hachi you brought to WSIR??? Haha Blue, white, red, black... that's SO not the Hiro i know!

slideways2004 -
you know which s15 ? oh, you're from houston . . . i see !

_PG_ -
ha ha, it's not gonna be cream. and my hachi still has that
same old maxis seat but the car's painted white. i don't like
white, but it was the only choice at the time because then
i didn't have to paint my white fiberglass bumper. . . . ha ha!

yet another hard wall experiece at long beach!!!

i can't even count how many times i bounced off the
hard walls of long beach this weekend !!!
after the hard crash on saturday, i thought my event
was over, but with the super hard work of lots of guys
i was able to get back on track again. the car was
completely totalled, but somehow i was running on sunday
good enough to place 2nd in the round of 32.
i just want to say thanks to Falken tire, Kure-Int'l (esp. Sam),
all of Drift Assoc crew (esp. Taka, Koji, Brian, Owen, Yoshie,
Naoki, Moto, Richard), US Earth guys (esp. Jin and Mitsuo),
Euphoric Designs (esp. Jesse), G-Speed Corp. (esp. Kenji 'NOS' Sakai),
R&D Factory (esp Edo-chan), HKS (esp. Andy),
Megan racing (esp. Steve), Hiro SF, Signal Auto (Esp. Mr. Mad K),
Long Beach safety crew guys, SCCA crews (esp. Renee), and
of course the crazy Rotary Power dudes (esp. Steve, Ross,
and the ‘sheet metal master’ on Sunday) for banging out the
'main' frame that was smashed more than 90 degrees!!
None of us had a single minute of sleep from Sat to Sunday,
but it was well worth it! Thank you very much everybody
that helped me and supported me for the weekend!!!
And thank you Formula D staff and the Judges for the awesome
start of the another crazy season (^ ^)//

and yeah, i'm glad that i have another car ready for round 2 . . . . .

You did great in that zombie of a car Hiro, get another arm and keep it alive, that chaser sure is a testament to the determination to keep going team Drift Assoc has! Go into round 2 with a little sleep, you and Taka both!
