Rd.6 of JDC, "2009 Touhoku Dirt Trial KIRIYANAI" was held in Aomori at Circuit Park Kiriyanai. The weather was cloudy and the track was dry, but with thin layer of sand covering the hard surface. Once the sand blows away after running Heat1, the outcome of Heat2 will become the key factor to today's result since the average speed will increase due to improved track condition.
Hara, in N2 class faced machine failure during Heat1 and he was unable to start Heat2, which ended his day placing in 10th spot. Kojima and Kawashima, in SA1 class rolled their cars in Heat2 and retired, resulting in 11th and 12th respectively based on the result of Heat1. They were all unable to show their best performance where it counted the most, ending their day with bitter taste.
Akaba in N3 class finished 9th place, and Kushida in SA2 class finished 5th place. Yamamoto in SC1 class finished 6th, and Sumiyama, in SC3 class finished 4th. All of them were not too far behind the top group, but they were quite not able to catch up to the lead.
In next round, "THUNDERS DIRT TRIAL" will be held in Kyoto, at Cosmo Park. Hang on tight for more action from TEIN users! |
