I would like to wish IT.com and all of the great people who visit. Some of you may remember that I was a w2w club racer. Just recently I moved to Japan for work.

I wish everyone the best in this new year.

I have been snapping digital photos of many of the places that I have been to. Below are a few collections that I have placed at imagestation.com

This is Samurai's castle. (rebuilt)

Hi Greg how have you been, were all still pluggin along. just bought a virgin 83 RX7 for the motor for my ITA car, this thing was garaged its whole life until it got broadsided. Ill have it rebuilt with all the goodies in a few weeks. my EP RX7 is almost ready for paint and I hope to have it out at Buttonwillow for a shakedown in a few months.

Production classes are taking a huge upturn this year with gobs of new cars coming out spring, not sure why the trend but it will be interesting. when are you coming back?

Hey D,
I am scheduled to come home around Summer 2005.

I have been very busy with work, but I do find sometime to enjoy life.

Thats my two-seater regional flogger, built to take a hit from a 3000 # ASC stockcar, or did you forget we race with them. dont worry, I have another car that will be real light for next years nationals, tank, hehe

last year I was all worried about waddin up my only car so I solved that problem with three cars, now I get to drive it like I stole it. I had three cages bent and got three more shells, I got 1 3/4" .095 car you call "the tank", one similar with less tubing, and one 1 1/2" .095 with the bare minimum. plus im keeping the ITA car intact for my son in 05. been busy.
The "tank" will probly get a V8 for SPO class as soon as the "light car" is done.
