Hobbytalk new member Yoshi Nagura. Yoshi is a Fresno/Clovis local that I've known for about 8 years through both slot cars and R/C cars, and has expressed an interest in becoming more involved in my slot car program. So much so that he has offered to buy into the Laguna Seca program and purchase a 25% interest in the track and its operations.

While Yoshi and I talk almost daily we've both agreed to keep you guys informed of the progress in establishing the series. Yoshi has also assumed control of the Cup of Soup/Dragon Panoz Team after Martin Simone withdrew his intention to race in the series due to travel distance problems. I will complete the first car and he will do the second in the next few weeks.

Yoshi is the parts department assistant manager for a local Nissan dealership and a real world drifting competetor. While relatively new to HO Slot cars he has raced 1/32nd scale for many years. He has also raced 1/10th scale touring cars too.
