The Gang’s All Here in Japan & We’re Off To TODA RACING!!…

After Sara left to go back to California, I had a full week of just hanging out at the shop with Yasu before the rest of the guys came to join me on the second half of my journey. Kristian landed first on a Tuesday and we headed straight to dinner since Ton from Temple Racing wanted to grab a bite. Originally we had wanted to wait for Der to come before we headed to Okayama to have a meeting with TODA Racing but they were only available on the day when he was schedule to land in the evening. So we had to go without him! While we were in Okayama, we also had some random adventures in the city along with some great meals. This turned out to be a pretty fun day filled with fun in Japan!…

Typically around this time, the only visitors at Yasu’s shop in Osaka would be me. Wekfest Japan is usually happening during this period and I’d be over there getting ready to go to the show with him. Because of the global pandemic, and numbers still rising over in Japan, the border has been closed off to foreign visitors and I haven’t been able to return as I would usually. From what I saw online, like the rest of you, Wekfest Japan was a great event. There were less cars and the crowd was likely smaller than usual, but it was expected with the way things are going right now. With Yasu being so busy with work, not wanting to catch anything, and me not even being there, he decided it would be best if he just stayed behind this year…
