Mobara track day Japan!

[YokotaS13]

OK, so I FINALLY made it to a track day and here is how it broke down
We left at 4:00 AM, got there at 7:00 am.
Signed in at 8:00 adn gt out numbers and cars ready. It was 4 of us that went from yokota, and another guy from yokouska
Anyways, this is my FIRST time EVER on a track for drifting, adn first time EVER really drifting in anythign other than a parking lot.
It was raining, was wet, windows kept fogging up EVEN with the defroster on. Horrible conditions, made learning to transition UBER hard. But i got it down.
At the beginning of the day, i spun out the entire first round. But then i figured out what i was doing wrong, ran everythign through my head sitting in the car, adn then went out the next session. (10 minute sessions each).
I threw it out tryign to go balls to the wall. Spun out a few times, But got some REAL good corners in, and started to learn to connect turns slightly.

to skip the boring part of me learning everything, I ended up Linking almost the ENTIRE track minus linking 2 different turns because i couldnt keep the angle over the straights they were on (im trying to locate an online layout of hte track so you can se what i mean)
Neverthe less best part of it all is!
I got 2nd place in Beginners class in the competition that i didnt even know i was in. THe other guy in the black 180 that was with us got 3rd, and a Nihon-jin placed 1st.
It was held by Team Liar (have no clue who they are)

But enough of the words, heres some pics!
