Before and After
Driftwerks 3 is THE video that got me into drifting, and of course the beginning of my Ueo crush, however, I realized I never shared a little piece of information it held that I found interesting. Nobushige Kumakubo is the famed leader of Team Orange, as well as the owner of the drift heaven Ebisu Circuit (which BTW was in NFS:prostreet as their drift track but you'd never know it because you couldn't tell where you were looking in that damn game).

So, I've been on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for the early part of this summer. Trying to get my shit together and get my car going. Part of my time has been in the fantasy world. Going back to my Digital Roots, I've been playing a lot of Street Legal Redline Racing. Recently a Tsukuba Time Attack challange came up and I was more than willing to participate, and you can too!
