Quote from the site:

Hasemi Motorsports is sure to grab its fair share of attention with its entry of Nissan's flagship car, the Fairlady Z. Car development has gone well, the Z claiming the quickest lap of the GT300 class during the official test sessions at Fuji. Driver pair M. Kinoshita and M. Yanagida primed and ready to dominate from the starting grid at TI Aida.

Cool.
Too bad they are not a factory team wearing the factory (red/silver) colours. I'm assuming speed does not cover JGTC. Too bad. So does it have the 450hp engine in it?

Actually SPEED does show JGTC racing but tape delayed. I think they just recently showed the 2002 year races.

Hedonist, you must really like tempting fate with that sig of yours!

That really sux that SPEED's coverage is so far behind. They need to replace some of their rediculously overdone NASCAR coverage with some up to date stuff from Japan, and even Australia, and Puerto Rico (those guys are nutz!) Oh and some drift action would be sweet too. I can't wait to see some 350Zs having success on TV!

No kidding man, I have written letters to them about that. It may as well just be the NASCRAP channel now. It is the lowest form of racing to me. NASCAR officials, and racers have said in interviews before that NASCAR is 70% entertainment or something like that. They basically said that the ultra boring racing is actually staged to some extent, and the rivalries are created by the anouncers, and media, intentionally. Ugh, I hate NASCAR!

ya, playing bumper cars with 45 other cowboys for 500 miles is hardly racing.

Ever notice how phantom yellow flags towards the end of the race? In doing so, the field is bunched up, and when the yellow is dropped, there's a mad dash almost always resulting in a big accident. Accidents = excitement, and therefore big sponsor dollars.

Hedonist, you must really like tempting fate with that sig of yours!
Perhaps I should add a disclaimer mentioning that the two things are mutually exclusive?

I didn't mean to imply anything about your sig except that saying "no speeding tickets yet" seems like tempting fate.

Oh, gotcha... I thought you were referring to the combination of wine and mentioning no speeding tickets. Yes, knock on cubicle plastic, I've been fortunate enough to avoid the police (which is a miracle in this area since they're like flies on poop here).
