Nikko Circuit...

While in the Kanto area, I was invited to Nikko Circuit for a 'Practice Day' by Shino Murai (Shino Kouba Garage, Saitama). We arrived at Higashi Tokorozawa station by train from Veilside and met with Shino, then went to the garage around 11pm. Shino told me she works from 6am to 2am usually...CRAZY! After some food, chatting and a shower it was off to bed for a few hours sleep.

Up again at 5am, we made our way to Nikko Circuit with the AE86 on board. Not too long a drive, and we passed the time with some 80's music Karaoke and holding on for dear life as Shino played 'chicken' with the Toll barriers - SCARY!

We arrived at Nikko Circuit early to be greeted with about 40 or more drift cars all preparing for today's event. Also on the day there was Time Attack (Grip), which was good to watch also. We unloaded the AE86 and got it ready for some action. After a quick driver briefing it was good to go. Here are some photos from the day.

Onto the drifting, this was a VERY high spec AE86, and a hardcore lover of ONLY 4-AGE. I got a passenger ride and he is one of the craziest drifters I know...


This photo says it all...Drift life!
