Ebisu 12hr Race Review Part 3 - Qualify

Early rise and get as we got to the track, there were already a stack of things to do. Swap back to race rubber, change a lot of stuff, fix a few things and get ready.

I can't believe I was still applying stickers on the car 2 minutes before the qualifying session.

We passed our technical inspection and were told we gaijins were to be watched very closely by officials all race.

This B class Integra DC5 had all the right equipment for the event. A very well sorted machine.

Rod did well putting us in a good spot for Sumi-san to start.

Pole sitter.. Simply... Fastest. "grrrrrrrrr" "pshyu" followed by flames! That's the story of turbo power.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

This Silvia also had no problems passing up the straight.

DC5 looked nice. Notice the window net too.
Even a AE86 on the grid, but it would only see about 100 laps.
Race countdown to continue.

  2. You wouldn't have had time to use it Aki.

    After the race started I only took a handful.
