Hello D3 and retro racers,

The sixth Tokyo D3 race was held at Cheerio SpeedWay in Tokyo on August 21 with twelve turn-outs for Can-Am and eleven for F1.

Our great Race Director, Mickeyzo, has just sent me the result sheets.

New track qualifying records we set both in Can-Am and F1.

Nakamura TQ'd with 4.178 in Can-Am and Sasaki with 4.221 in F1.

Tebu won the both races.

At the F1 race, the cars built with Hanada F1 prototype kits finished first and second place.

Tebu's chassis was prepared by Kamosita and I built mine by myself.

The both cars handles great and Hanada-san will finalize the production version with our feedback.

Akitani-san will send me great photos of the race later to me and Keith as usual.

I will post a few pictures of my F1 chassis at the Tokyo D3 chassis kits & motor brackets section.

Stay tuned & Good Racing,

Haruki

Hello Akitani-san, Haruki-san!

All the cars and chassis's look great! Would you have any videos of the racing available please? Please pardon my poor attempt at the Japanese language.

Thank you.

Ernie,
I'm afraid we have no videos at present.
I wish our racing videos are available before long.
