Someone asked him at Formula D in Houston. I believe he got his License suspended until the age of 21 because of illegal driving/drifting at the age of 15 or so.

Matt.

haha i guess when u gotta drift, u gotta drift.

[my 1 88 u]

Does he have any aspirations of participating in any other forms of motor sports?

What are some of his short and long term goals in both business and sport?

How does he feel or handle competing against older drivers?

Why did he choose a 250hp onevia as a drift car and does he plan to change cars or add power it?

[blargonator]

how did he start drifting at 12? i am not asking you to ask him. i am just wondering if anyone knows i guess answer or something.

[Feint]

That's right...he can't get his license till 21...He never had one to begin with.Kenshiro is the man,O look up to him like Kazama,Tsuchiya,and Orido.

1.When were you first exposed to drifting?

2.How did you get involved in drifting?

3.What is it about drifting that made you say "I wanna do that too"?

4.What are your recommendations to young drivers you want to get involved?

5.If there's anything you could do differently,what would it be?

Just a few to throw up in the air.

Thanks for getting this to happen.
This is why I love this board

[raging panda]

there was an article on him a long time ago in one of the mags, dont remember which one, said he started drifting when his dad took him out into the salt flats or whatever flat dirty place it was at like the age of 12 , and just spun out alot. He was 16 at the time of the article if i remember right, and he didnt have his license, but it talked about his s13 coupe, he did a sr20 swap, nismo lsd, and tokico shocks were his only mods at the time. He did all his own work he said.

oh yea, if he doesnt have his license, im sure he doesnt have a daily driver does he?
