Fuji Speedway! No problems! 富士スピードウェイ無事走行！

No problems! The car and the new engine performed perfectly. Although I ran S-tires, which did not provide the best of grip and so it was not my best driving. However, I have a new personal record for speed - 260kph!
無事走行しました！新マインズ改エンジンは抜群です！自分の新記録最高速度：260km! しかし、Sタイヤではなくラジアルタイヤを履いて走ったので、自分の走りにちょっと不満あります。

At speed (my car on the LEFT, bad photo...)


Sunako-jukucho and my friend Nick about to go for a ride...


Also have new video of Sunako-jukucho driving (with Nick in the passenger seat)!
静画は近日投稿します。動画はどうぞー砂子塾長と僕の友達Nickさん。




Interestingly, Sunako-san said he felt the car lacked midrange torque, specifically between 4000-5000 rpm (I never noticed). So I took the car to Mine's for the after track day oil change, and mentioned this - and Niikura-san said, if that's what Sunako-san's thinking, then of course we'll take care of it!

砂子塾長がエンジンの弱点を解釈し、僕に説明していただきました。中低トルクがない！4000-5000回転では「バーン！」とこないと。これをマインズに伝えたら、新倉社長が：「砂子ちゃんがそういうなら、改善します！」など言ってくれました！

Tired:

Of course, the prize ceremony at the end was fun, too!
触ったいけない！と｡｡｡


And the next day, I swung by Nissan Prince Tokyo to get some air put BACK in my tires (which I had deflated as the heat of running the track causes the tires to expand). Thank you Honda-san!
日産プリンス東京モータスポーツ室の本田さんにまたお世話になりました！
