| We're building up to race time. The activity inside the paddocks was frantic as teams made final preparations for the race later that night. It was a shame we couldn't see this famous car run but rules are rules...the car must be in current production. I was surprised to see they even brought it! 
Slotted as they should be
 fourZero posing. Way to blink, hoser ;)
 So he wont feel so bad, here I am trying to draw focus away from myself. (Steelers fan since I was four, so bite me)
 Here's a run of various shots from inside the paddocks. Most are of the JGTC cars but we found some of the drift/exhibition garages open as well. The Japanese were very cordial and allowed us to get pretty damn close. 











Waiting in line to be staged for some practice runs. Good time to meet the drivers and pose with the race queens (more on that later ;)
 One of the various camera crews wandering around from Japan to cover the event. They liked my plate =) 
Up next is the post race photos. I'd need a better camera or at least a better optical zoom to capture the actual racing stills so I stuck with video. Rest assured the next batch is well worth the load time.
