Hello Retro Racers,

I have just got the results of our first race this year from Mickeyzo.

Akitani-san will send a more detailed report with lots of photos to Keith soon.

We have an extremely cold weather in Tokyo these days.

A very cold & dry weather outside, strong air-conditioning inside made the track condition of our G13 very unusual .

A low turn-out on the practice day on Saturday and the race day on Sunday did not left enough rubber on the track surface but the sprayed glue was hard and sticky when we started the racing program .

However, we enjoyed racing for the first time this year, having a great fun.










We have Can-Am & F1 race on our G13 King track every month this year.
The next race, Race 2 of 2012, is on February 19.

Good Racing ,

Haruki

4.17" is a pretty fast time! Obviously our friends in Japan could give all of us a fight if they decide to descend on us, as shown by the excellent performance by Haruki and the Japanese-built cars at the Checkpoint Cup...
