[AaronConklin]

they need to come to the eastcoast/southeast

that would be good as well, but alot of work...they should get a D1 USA points series like 5 USA venues in a series thats seperate from the Japanese D1, even though we have Formula D, well....I really dont know.......*sigh*

whoa, wait a second... no sam or taka?! no kumakubo, Ueo, or immamura

and we already know that taniguchi and orido are 'mia' from drifting... I guess it's time to root for Ueno again

[driftersil80]

Who is Kensaku Komoro? All I can figure out is that he drives an AE86. Anyone have any pix/info on him?
