| I have always liked touge, even before I knew that there were communities that raced it seriously. I had my Forza aero'd Skylines and Supras and would always race down Kaido when my drifting team was idling. That was a lot of fun, even though I was not good at it. I then found MiNdChArGeR through his Twitch account. At the time, he was streaming touge lobbies with Wilson, and I decided to join them. In that lobby, I made a fool of myself. That lobby showed me that I was not as good as I thought I was, and I needed more practice if I wanted to take it seriously. After the lobby, I spent the rest of the day building cars and seeing if I can make one that can be competitive with MiNd and Wilson's cars. After a couple days of tuning, I finally made the first version of the Mazda MX-5 Superlight, and I was ready to devote to touge. I tried out for GTxS, which was one of the most popular teams at the time. After their testing, I was not accepted. I do not know the reasoning behind them denying me, but that drove me to become faster. I used my frustation as fuel to get better. I was friends with MiNdChArGeR and Wilson at the time of this, and he gave me some tips on what to do to get better. I took his advice. Once I got my times into the thirties, I tried out for Garage Kaido; the team that MiNdChArGeR and Wilson were on at the time. After their testing, I was accepted into the team. One of the first things I did was go into their club garage and test out their cars. I was amazed to find out that all of their cars performed much better than my MX-5 at the time, and I was curious as to why. Later, I asked for a tune of theirs. I was then sent a tune, and I went into the tuning menu to see what caused the car to perform the way it did. Once I found out what they did, I used the same method to produce a similar result with my MX-5. Garage Kaido worked together with me to create the MX-5 Superlight that is on the leaderboards today. I felt like I was part of a family more than a racing team. Even when Garage Kaido died and Street Version was born, we were still a family. I am currently a member of Street Version. I am fifteen years old, and am a freshman in high school. I reside in Palm Desert, CA, and I am into computer science and graphic design.

| Well, if you haven't noticed already, I have been off the site for a while. I have been caught up in schoolwork for the past couple of months. Being a freshmen isn't easy! Anyway, it feels great to be back and I now have a PS3 with Gran Turismo 5 ( 6 is on pre-order ) and I have PSN.
If you wish to add me, my PSN I.D is "Konasumi". | |

| I'll be sure to do that, haha.
This wheel gives me quite a workout. I've been playing iRacing for most of the day, and I'm beat right now. | |
