Summer is well and truly here in Okinawa, with the temperatures rising and the sun shining. Checked the weather report at 9am this morning and was told that it was 31°C but that it felt “like 36°C”. Thankfully the humidity was only 70% and a sea breeze coming through my apartment managed to keep me [...]
While the countdown is well and truly on for the solar eclipse next Wednesday, I have another big date before then. Tomorrow marks the first drag race tournament at Nago circuit I’ll be competing in since my engine blew up back in April. It’s been a long time coming and the rebuild took a while, but I’m ready for it and raring to go.
The car’s in good condition, although it could really do with a bit of fine tuning. I am hoping to put in a solid performance though and as long as the car can come back home under its own power then I’ll be relatively happy! I’ve been increasing the power steadily on the car but am still staying a little more conservative than last time just for safety’s sake. I sincerely doubt I’ll be aiming for a podium finish as I did at the end of last year but anything is possible I suppose. We have a long weekend here in Japan this weekend (Monday is Marine Day) so I will try to give a full report including pictures on Sunday evening or Monday morning.
Until then I hope the Three Diamond Gods are smiling down on me, and that my enginework doesn’t come undone!
