copemech Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Stick to the plan Pat! Get a good breakfast at McDonalds and kick the living sh-- out of Craig as a warmup before section 1!!!!!! Must be afternoon there now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
city trials Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Hey all. Pat just finished his practice session and is inspecting the sections now. He seems upbeat today despite his lingering sore back. This Twin Ring motor-sport venue is massive. There's two stadium sections and the rest of the course is located around the complex. Patrick goes out at 9:54 AM JST. As usual, I'll keep you all updated as the weekend goes along. We thank everyone for their support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomant Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Is Craig minding for Pat ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansalton Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) Oh, now, wouldn't that be interesting... Go get 'em Pat... may the Force be with you (or whatever it is that allows you guys to defy the laws of gravity like you do).

city trials Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) Clouds. Check. Fog. Check. Rain. Check. This is what the complex looks from the hotel window like this morning. You're suppose to see mountains in the background. You're suppose to see a large grandstand in front of the mountains. Pat said to me last night, "I thought this country was going to be sunny"? As for who's minding Pat? That chore is in the hands of David Chaves. For all of you David fans in the States, I'll make sure to snap a few photos of him in action today. Looks like he'll be real busy. Edited May 30, 2008 by City Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
city trials Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 20 minutes later. Now, that's a little better. Notice in the righthand side of the photo - there's a few sections up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

city trials Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) Hop Sing, I couldn't tell if today is going to be any different. Take a look at what I see out the window of the hotel this morning. Today you can't even see the track through all the fog.

Andy Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I moved the previous topic into the World Championship Forum as Craig is the only TC forum guy or anybody we have on-site in Japan and his reports, although a tiny bit biased, deserve a little bit more exposure for being brave enough to head out there!

hop_sing Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I was trying to stay on the USA forum because he is not the ONLY bias person posting. I do understand others wanting information, But they may have to hear me say over and over GO Pat Go!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
