21st July, Monster Tajima paid a courtesy visit to Iwata city mayor and reported a sixth successive win at Pikes Peak.
At Iwata city hall, I received very warm welcome and celebration from Mayor, Mr. Osamu Watanabe and the member of city council and Mr. Yoshifumi Suzuki and staff of city hall. They presented me Japanese special sake and bouquet.
In the meeting with Iwata city mayor Mr. Watabe, he reported that he achieved his two goals.
The first is a sixth consecutive win and breaking "10 minutes barrier" and set the new world record, another is cheering up Japan and people who has been suffered from earthquake and show Japanese spirit and energy to the world.
He told many stories of troubles and pleasure during the race, and he also reported that many fans in Colorado gave us donation for Japan and many participants put the "Pray for Japan" sticker to their car.
I would like to thank you again to all of my fans. I respect all of you!
