Hello BPR D3 racers,

Finally, Yoshi Akiyama, who used to race D3 with you at BPR has contacted me.
He may come down to Cheerio SpeedWay tomorrow to see what is going on at our Tokyo D3 racing program.
He is now racing Pla-Fit cars in a raceway located one-hour-drive from Tokyo.
I hope he will join us for racing D3 in Tokyo.Posted Image

Haruki-san;

You will find Yoshi a great friend, and one helluva good racer, too. He was a welcome addition with us always and will be the same with Tokyo D3.

Please tell him all at BPR say hello. ;)

Yoshi visited my raceway today, enjoying racing his D3 cars.

Unfortunately, he will not be able to race with us at our seventh Tokyo D3 race, but he is going to do so in October.

He says hello to all the BPR D3 racers.

I am so happy to have such a nice guy as Yoshi in our racing program.

Haruki-san,

Thank you very much for the invite to your blue King. I enjoyed talking about all the great BPR racers.

And thank you, BPR friends: Philippe, Oscar, Mike Boemker, Mike Kravitz, Ron Kiyomura, and everybody.

I will never forget all my BPR friends.

Hi Yoshi,

It's good to hear you'll be racing with Haruki and the Tokyo D3 racers in October.

The Tokyo D3 racers have learned quickly how to build/race D3 cars. It's good to see racers in Japan having fun.

Hi, Keith,

I am very glad we have got such an experienced D3 racer as Yoshi joining Tokyo D3.

Last week, I sent him two sets of Hanada F1 kit. He must be building them for our race in October.
