there's a picture of me on http://www.jdm-option.com/eng/ !!!kinda cool for me since its the first time something like this happened to me so im excited, plus the fact i got 4 free tires!!:aw:

this event was held on dec. 2 at el toro. 3 tracks laid out with d1 drivers as instructors. it was free for anyone running federals and i know alot of you do run federals cuz zilvia is full of poor lowballers that are cheap, including myself :bigok:

anyways, point of this post is to get the word out about their event, they said the next event is gonna be in feb and they are going to try to 4 events a year, dont know if its gonna be free tho, hope it is.

copied from their web site:

35 drifters participated in Federal-Dai’s Drift Academy, sponsored by Federal Corporation. The event was instructed by 3 Japanese veteran drift drivers: Toshiki Yoshioka, Kazuyoshi Okamura and Daijiro Inada for the first time in the US. Their words of advice and hands on lessons were greatly appreciated by all students. From the intermediate class, Jason Kim, who drove a 350Z won full set of Federal tires for his outstanding improvements throughout the day at drift school.

I wish Dai would do something righteous like that on the East Coast.
Sounds like a whole lotta fun
