Okayama International MX5

Congrats to Eduardo Prado for not only the win, but a clean sweep of all 6 races to win the inaugural Kamikaze Cup series. Way to go Ed!

Also thanks to all that participated in the race and the entire series. I think all in all, it was a pretty successful opening series for us.

This race was one of my better ones but my finish did not reflect that. It was just that there were some pretty good racers in the field. For most of the race, we had a good battle from 3rd to 6th. With David Toro, Felipe Olivetti, Daniel Gomes and I running nose to tail for most of the laps. It is so much fun racing with guys that race with class and my hat’s off to you three guys. During the final few laps I was on Daniel’s bumper, but just couldn’t get the speed to pass him. I even had my personal best lap and couldn’t get by you Daniel! On the final lap, we came around the second to last corner with David right on my ass and there was a lapped car right on the apex. That pushed me wide and I had to take the last corner coming off the dirt and David got a run on me down the front straight. David! I know you could have made the pass but you lifted to let me take 5th. That was very nice of you. But then again, I thought there was other times you could have attempted a pass but held back. You are just too nice and a class act of a racer. I thank you for that and I wish all racers raced like you. In fact, there were many guys that raced with us that raced so clean and with so much courtesy that I wish I could relive this season over and over again.

Thanks again to all that raced with us this season and I hope to see all of you this coming Cadillac series. It is a pleasure to run a league with so many great guys.

Thanks for the kind comments Charlie. It was a good race.

You are right, the finish was a close one. But I need to confess, I didn't hold back to let you take fifth. I missed a gear... check the replay. I'm not as nice of a guy as you think. I wanted 5th Charlie!

Great racing out there guys! I had a fun time chasing Richard. I'm really liking this car now that the season is over. Thanks again for the series Charlie. I will try to make the Caddy series coming up.
Congrats to Eduardo for the domination. :)

Huge Major THANKS to Charlie for making this happen.
I cant wait for the Cadillac series. The attendance has been good and the racing very fun.
Everybody very mindful of the others. Crashes sometimes happens and is part of racing.
@Charlie the racing was fun and tight. Every race towards the end i ran out of steam. I was lucky Felipe went by and i manage to stick on his draft and keep him honest.
COngrats to Ed.
