Hiro Sumida at D1GP 2005
While browsing through myspace looking for drifters, I stumbled across a picture of Hiro Sumida’s Toyota in front of the judges stand at the 2005 D1GP ‘All Star’ after he narrowly avoided the same k-rail that later claimed Ken Noruma’s car. I quickly realized by seeing myself in the photo that I had quite a bit more video from that event that remains to be edited and uploaded and I became inspired. Since Hiro’s photo was the inspiration, this video of his qualifying runs will be the first that I pull up from the DriftLive archives.
