Just to fill you in...
I live in Wakayama City, of Wakayama prefecture. It's in an area of Japan known as Kansai.

I currently do most of my model car racing at TM Circuit. For those of you that know me try and see if you can spot me - it a bit like where's Wally, which should be easy since (according to my Japanese friends) I look strikingly like him... If you can't spot me there's another lovely picture here!
I'm racing my mini here at the monthly night race - the level is very high, I've yet to make it into the A main, but I'm getting closer each time (last time out I was pole on for the B main).
This track is also popular with nitro cars, with a lot of people racing in the Kyosho cup. I'm getting back into engines after a few years off. I'll inform you of my progress as I go.
TM circuit is a bit of a trek in the car, but locally there is a mini-Z track which is available for practice 24-7. Places like this are why I love Japan. Well, that and the 1 liter cans of beer...

First post
Did some racing of Tamiya minis yesterday. I'll try and put some video up later in the week. I went to Sakai kart Land today to watch some kart racing. I should've been racing my-self except I broke my ribs a few weeks back and am still out. First post so please forgive me for being short, sweet and pretty much meaningless. Sorry!
If you want more then check out my old blog from when I was last in Japan.
