well theoretically anyone could rock up and watch and I dont think they'd mind too much. the real trick would be getting there (most of the good drift spots are ~2 hours drive out of the city). as it's at night there are no trains, and the spots are no where near stations anyway, plus unless you know exactly where it's going to be, and when you'd end up spending weeks trying different places. the japanese guys I was with keep in touch with cell phones every few mins to coordinate what's happening and they meet up usually around midnight at a convenience store, then head up to the mountain. so unless you know someone in a japanese drift team, or a friend of one it would be pretty hard to tee up

here's some more assorted pics

nomuken was kind enough to sign some stuff for me, and make a stupid face for my photo. thanks buddy.

this was certainly "out there"

They had 2 evo X concepts there. 1 full size and one mini.

anyway that's enough for now. I have to get up at 5am!!! to get to Fuji. sayonara.

Man that chicks tall .

It's funny how people criticise street racing and drifting on the streets over here, but as soon as it's in Japan it's awesome and fine to do and watch.

^^^ I was thinking the exact same thing, bit hypocritical hey?

[d0p3y]

I'll be in Japan for a month next year. Gonna rent out an apartment. Looking forward to it.. TAS should be awesome, and I'm bound to have fun lurking around Tokyo not being able to speak much Jap.. think I'll have to carry picture cards of stuff I want so I can hold it up and point hahahaha

Interesting point.

Maybe because Jap street racers are more skilled than everywhere else?

Also maybe becuase they don't have P platers in commodores over there to do burnouts everywhere they go.

Japanese "hoons" are much more appropriate at picking the times and places where they get up to mischief, from what I've seen anyway. I'd be interested to see the statistics on the amount of injuries and deaths caused by Japanese "hoons" I am pretty sure the numbers would be pretty low.

Different country, different culture, it's hard to compare it with Australia directly.

more pic of the ARC evo.....the teasers are making me hot and bothered.

[maclarenf1]
