No kidding!

And does no one else find it ironic that now since Falken has dropped him as a factory driver, he's currently the highest ranked driver on Falken tires?

well the way i saw it which i dunnoe if im right or not is that falken put alot of effort into building their cars but gave very little seat time for the drivers to get used to them. taka and hiro get to practice alot at drift days but they never got to practice in the team falken cars. they were always using their back up cars.

That is totally true. Both Taka and Hiro rarely got any practice time in their competition cars outside of actual event days.

But now that Taka owns the Turbo/Hasselgren corolla, he's been getting LOTS of seat time. Changed over to DG-5 coilovers too, which he really likes. I had a chance to ride with him at a Just Drift event in March and he was feeling very comfortable in the car now. He's gonna be competitive this year as long as he can make it out to the events.

If I wasn't building my own project, I would chip in. Good Luck, Taka.

i'll donate if taka agrees to run a team rowdy sticker.

[OldSkool510]

He can start selling advertisement space on his car. Anyone who donates should have a sticker of their choice to put on his car. That would be cool.

Sell some advertising space to D1. lol
