　4/8(Sun)　Today's Report

"Race to the Sky 2007" final day has come! Thanks to everyone, I have won the race again! Thank you!
Today it was perfectly sunny day. But the temperature was only 1 degrees at the top of the hill in the morning. By the time I start to run though, the temperature got higher and higher. In the morning qualify, I was 17 seconds ahead of second place Kenneth, 8m 12s 7464. At the final race, the stage condition was rougher than it was thought to be. I clocked 8m 03s 9354 which was not quick as last year, but managed to win the race. I would like to say thank you for all the support until today!

"Today the fog was very heavy and the at the top section it was almost unable to see at all! In the morning we had practice run and my time was 8m26s2432. Kenneth was 8m42s256. In the afternoon I clocked 8m22s1828. It got 4 seconds quicker but it was too far from the record I made on 2006 which was 8m01s.
But since it was practice and I need to flat out tomorrow, I saved the car's performance as much as possible. Watch me tomorrow. See you there!"

"Today we have done the test session.
The weather here is very dry and dust was so heavy and very slippery! But my Grand Vitara worked very well and the set up went perfect. The dream of 7 minutes seems very real now! Kenneth came to see me so I had to hide my performance (laugh)! I hope you saw me and my machine at Channel One. Thank you Channel One! Tomorrow is scrutineering, and race weekend will start!
Looking forward to meet you all at the race day!"
