When I lived in Japan I was really into the hashiriya (racing) culture, so that is my username. On the weekends my friends and I would do runs at the track or on the mountain roads of Miyagi, Iwate, and Yamagata prefectures.
Dude....you sound like a regular Takumi! u don't deliver tofu on the side do you? Man, you guys are so lucky with all those crazy mountain downhills....a drifter's dream
It's nothing like Initial D, haha. There are no trash talkers or tofu delivery guys. All just guys like you and me doing what we love. We aren't really into drift, just grip. The drifting guys use a different mountain. The rule is, don't drift on a grip road, and don't grip on a drift road. They are two different cultures. Grippers aren't really fond of drifters , and drifters, well, they are all high school kids with unpaid dues.
