Even if they hated JR with a passion, they'd judge him fairly. Even favorites like Nomuken don't win all the time. I've watched the Option videos for years and have never seen any favoritism in judging. Do you guys know nothing of Japanese honor? Even if they hated JR with a passion, they’d judge him fairly.

D1 has a good reason to make JR loose or make JR win JR looses, the japanese look good. Once again proving D1 is the superior drifting series with the superior drivers JR win, the US market has something to come back too watch for. We stay tuned, we feel we still have a chance. Next year we all come back looking forward too Vaughn whoopin some ass. I dont really think D1 as a whole really wanted Vaughn to win. Maybe KT, no matter what anyone says he still likes good driving at the end of the day. But most def not Dai... why did Dai have to judge that world all star finale? Why did he have to shows his face during the USA vs JP dream match... He owns the series, it doesent mean he has to be everywhere all the time, doesent he pay enough personal for that? Was I the only one who noticed the judges look at the end of the kumo vs jr battle, they didnt looked stunned, they just looked disappointed and a little scared. Not a smile, not a smirk, nothing that showed gratitude. But as far as JR doing good at some japanese D1 courses.... honestly I dont know. Hes a good drive, I seen him rip high speed courses in his S13 back in the day. And the mustang has way more grip and a much broader power band then those things have. I see him doing much worst at some of the old school D1 courses (old kart tracks) because they took a lot more finest and a lot more technique then these old school ones. The newer course rely more on traction, who can squat on their line the longest and the fastest. FD hasn't had too many courses like that yet, they take some of the fastest tracks in the USA (sonoma, road atl,summit point) and use the most slowest parts of them. Summit point being the fastest, and JR blew his motor on that one. And when a driver blows a motor in this sport 8/10 that means he is ripping it, he feels conferable going 110% on the course. Even though this was a good event, probably the best event ever at irwindale and one of the best they had in the states, I really think D1 needs major help for next year. And I personally feel no one can save them... but thats just my opinion. Vaughn.... keep doing your thing. If you really look at it, it can be seen in both ways.

JR win, the US market has something to come back too watch for. We stay tuned, we feel we still have a chance. Next year we all come back looking forward too Vaughn whoopin some ass.

But as far as JR doing good at some japanese D1 courses…. honestly I dont know. Hes a good drive, I seen him rip high speed courses in his S13 back in the day.

I control you...All of you are pawns in my game. Howz it feel to be controlled by an idiot? I also thought J.R rocked some ass...Who else can smoke it from one end of the course to the other without letting off the throttle...I would like to see how he does on the J courses...Autopolis, Sugo, Suzuka, etc. He is a great driver. Now you have to ask yourselves if I am being sincere or not...Hmmmmmmmm. Feed into it buddy. I knew this would happen…That’s why I posted this comment. I control you…All of you are pawns in my game.

Why is everyone always so unbelieving when something out of the normal happens in drifting. Sam and Rhys werent on the podium in FD near as much as they usually are this year...I guess FD is up to some tricks too.
