Well then?

Since I did bring it up while we were skydiving, I thought it best to ask again when the two of you are sober and not hyped up on a speed-rush.

NASCAR Japan. Shall we make it happen?

Excellent. My lawyers are already drawing up the paperwork to form a corporate entity to govern the project. I will be President. Do you want to be the Secretary or the Treasurer?

I am in the process of acquiring land to build the first of the required tracks. If you want to start working on the plans to actually build the thing? This one is for racing. There will be another for something called, "Demolition Derby"...which also features, "Monster Trucks." I'm rather afraid to ask.

HELL. YEAH!!!

Excellent. You get to be on the Board of Directors. Whichever job Kamio doesn't take will be yours. Don't worry about the title, Kamio and I will be footing the bill and we have people to do the actual paperwork. We just need someone we know and trust to sit with us.

Uhm...cool? Unless it doesn't interfere with my working hours. I'm not doing my job as a pastime, you know. If my emergency phone goes off during a meeting, I'm off.
But other than that, I'll be glad to help out and make sure evrything runs the way it should.

Of course, that is well understood and appreciated. Saving lives is the most important thing, after all.

On the plus side, you will also be able to make important decisions about where to place emergency personnel on the tracks. I understand that injury can be commonplace in this sort of racing environment.

Really? You've turned into a speed demon?

screened. atoberex April 12 2013, 06:09:30 UTC

Not exactly. More, I am interested in bringing some needed jobs and tourism dollars to Japan. It was a personal request from someone I really couldn't say no to.

At least with me in charge it will be as classy as such a thing can possibly be. Which isn't very, but please allow me my hope?

I see. a different sort of philanthropy, is it? Count me in. I may not be able to do much, but I can serve as advertising for your projects. Not even formal ads are needed, I can just mention it on-air.

That would be greatly appreciated, Yuushi. If you want to do interviews with any of the people involved, just let me know.

NASCAR?

atoberex April 13 2013, 01:24:40 UTC

It is a racing organization. Stock cars rather than Formula One. Rather well known in the US. They are looking for a Japanese sponsor.

wingofkyushu April 13 2013, 09:22:02 UTC

Interesting. Sounds like fun.

hidden_tazer April 13 2013, 00:54:37 UTC

Do anythin with bikes, let me know

atoberex April 13 2013, 01:25:47 UTC

I don't believe NASCAR does bike racing. But as Oshitari Kenya is on our board of directors and he does enjoy that sort of thing, I don't see why we couldn't.

hidden_tazer April 13 2013, 05:32:44 UTC

His bike is prolly a crotch rocket. My bike's're a bit dif'rent.

speedo_star April 13 2013, 12:15:24 UTC

Hey!
Don't insult my bike! It's the fastest in Japan!
