kazama?D1?

[kikit-sideways]

hey guys, wondering if u can enlighten me as to what happened to kazama, he last drove the blue s15 last year, but i havent seen him appear in this years events, so the question is "where is Kazama?"

[BustedS13]

last i heard nick hogan was giving him a ride somewhere. he hasn't been answering his phone since though :bite:

[deadpirate]

he didnt have any sponsors...got dropped from what i heard...could be a rumor. i have no facts to back it up

so dont quote me

[jeeper_x]

it's a damn shame if it's true...most of the D1 drivers can't get any sponsors just like how miki got dropped from top secret, now he's stuck in Formula D...

[azndoc]

I heard something about him driving in another series.

Like XDL or some shit like that and then he got dropped from D1.

Which is pretty fucking weird cosider he was like the fucking golden child of D1.

He was like Tsuchiya's pet.

Idk. Could be just rumors and most likely.

[jeeper_x]

after an extensive researching on wikipedia, i found out that Kazama got dropped by Cockpit and was replaced by none other than Katsuhiro Ueo (the most gangster AE86 driver ever on D1) .

[azndoc]

I think wikipedia knows when I shit and piss every day.

Wikipedia.org = secret services + gossip magazines

haha
yeah d1 dropped him
he did other events
they dont like when u do other events
miki, orido, taniguchi, etc etc
the only one who did or has done other events and still done d1 is Ueno. but he isnt getting any where points wise/series wise
he's quite well off so he can do what he wants

i had quite a few lenghty converstaions w/ people in japan about d1 (drivers and sponsors), not going to go into details though.

[IIIXziuR]

Man I knew Dous would know. He rocks.
He should quite his job now, move to Japan and deliver to us the 4-1-1 and gossips.
In Return, we should pay him cool car parts like awesome BN sports bumpers and wheels

I miss Yasayuki (sp?) he was a badass driver in D1

What is that "Cockpit"? Other than N.E.R.D.'s home.
"I take 'em to my home, they call it the cock pit"

I was looking through some of my old mags and saw their ads. Is it like a Bridgestone Performance store?

[ManoNegra]

D1 politics? Nonesense, now hush and go buy more Option mags and DVDs like the good boys you all are.

Cockpit is like Superautobacs....

[bstone]

Do they exclusively sell Bridgestone's, or what is the tie-in?
http://www.cockpit.co.jp/ <--- Bridgestone is all over their website.
and their store front.
