[S13_marine]

Hello all, just wonderring if there are any popular places people go to drift near Iwakuni area. I'll be there in like 3 days, won't have a car, just wanna watch. Thanks.

Ill hit my boy up tonight whos over in Kuni right now and see what he says. What car do you drive? I was just over in Yuma for 2 months on WTI.

[S13_marine]

Cool... I drive a couple of cars, but the only two of which have been running lately are an '05 Ram and a black Murano. I got a few buddies out in Beufort with 115, who you attached to?

[Okinawandrifter87]

Oh ok I guess I didnt see your car there then, Oh really? Im with the MAG. Over all the squadrons here. I drive a RHD two tone silvia. Shes in the process of being shipped here in a month.

[S13_marine]

[Okinawandrifter87]

No its the factory two tone. Its the blue and grey.

[S13_marine]

[Okinawandrifter87]

When I was there their were a lot of spots you could hit, I dont know the names but Im sure some local crews still hit them up. I should be back in a couple of months, but drifting's not my deal. If Jordan is still there he should be able to point you in the right direction.

Hey! just found this drift circuit in Hiroshima which in on hr n a half away! heres the link ¥¹¥Ô¡¼¥É¥¦¥§¥¤¹*Å祵¡¼¥*¥Ã¥È (http://www.hiroshima-circuit.jp/)

idk how to change the name on the link but trust me n click it lol

More than likely it's in Kabe which is just outisde of Hiroshima City and its near one to best Junk yards in the area. (Kawamoto) it's small but doable. There was one south of thier near Shuto town it im not mistaken.

[deukalionS14]

nice! i'm doing everything i can to get stationed there...when the time comes ill be sad selling my s14 n my bike but oh well!!!! n getting used to right hand drive again is going to be a biatch i bet...

[Okinawandrifter87]

No its not really a biatch at all. Its fairly simple. Everythings in the same place you just shift with your left hand is all now, and Im right handed for everything too.

I was stationed in Beaufort with the MALS and deployed to Iwakuni in 2007, I hung out with a couple guys stationed there, one guy had a R33 and we took a trip to a track, forget the name of it but here is a shitty video of it (not my video). I'm pretty sure the guys at the hobby shop used to go there as well but I'm not certain.

Good find, man. I'll definitely hit up that place when I go back to Iwakuni.

[nisco]

Yeah, Hadashi Tengoku is a nice little spot. But also make sure to hit up Hiroshima Speedway. It's about a hour and a half drive from Iwakuni Inter-

That a grip course also? I prefer grip racing as opposed to drifting.
