May 29, 200818 yr Pat and I just arrived in the land of the rising sun a few minutes ago. We're waiting for our hired car to take us out to Twin Ring. Stay tuned, we'll keep you all updated as the weekend goes along.
May 29, 200818 yr Yes good to hear the plane made it so many miles small miracles soak it all in and ride the stadium stuff with agression ,keep us posted we are cheering /
May 30, 200818 yr 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!
May 30, 200818 yr Author 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.
May 30, 200818 yr 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). Edited May 30, 200818 yr by DanSalton
May 30, 200818 yr Author 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.

May 30, 200818 yr Author 20 minutes later. Now, that's a little better. Notice in the righthand side of the photo - there's a few sections up there.
May 31, 200818 yr Author 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. Edited May 31, 200818 yr by City Trials
June 1, 200818 yr 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!
June 1, 200818 yr 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!!!
