Mr. Wakamatsu
Man, what a cool dude he is.
I got the chance to hang out with him for a while at D1 USA a few years ago.
Somehow he managed to come over with his car and….. VERY VERY VERY limited sponsoship. I think he was one of the only guys with a street car. No matching wheels, not even sure he had a tire sponsor….
He ripped it up so bad during all the practice and everything. When he did the qualifying runs, they were some of the very best I saw at Irwindale.
He didn’t qualify somehow.
fuck.
He was super bummed out it seemed.
We drank some beer and talked about girls with boobs.
Onto the photos of one of my favorite drivers and cars.
BONUS!!!
I know DOUSAN knows what’s up here.

Privateer is always cool cause they don’t gotta report to no one but themselves
Those vents look outta place on a 180sx hood (doesnt match body lines), only look good on maybe a FD or something
