From the Archive #2: Kenji and the crowd

The 2010 Formula Drift event at Road Atlanta just wrapped up this past weekend, and as always I had a blast. The above photo is from 2008 (my last before we move into this year’s hard earned cheddar) and shows Kenji Yamanaka having a little fun during the driver introductions. At each event, the top 16 drivers that make it to the final bracket of competition are brought out in front of the crowd, and as each name is called, they give a wave or jump on their car. Kenji decided to take this to the next logical extreme, and instead jumped right up onto the barrier beside the fencing to snap a photo of himself with the fans. You rock, Kenji.
