| These rental karts were cool machines in good shape, not like the beat to crap piles at Dromo 1 |
 |
| I am gonna show these drag racers how it’s done |
 |
 |
| The kart track at Motegi is groomed, flat featureless and not challenging, much like a modern F1 certified course |
Char Berganholz shreds on another group of kart racers, she was really fast

Ed won, Ron came in second and me third after I spun twice trying to pass Ron back. Did I tell you I weigh 60 lbs more than the Berganholtz bros? We beat all the other people in our run group |
Jenny Berganholtz checks out Karts that were more her speed. |

| We do the tourist photo thing at the Motegi sign |
 |
| They got big weenies in Japan; these long and flavorful hotdogs were everywhere and sold by many street vendors. They sorta tasted like a cross between a Vienna sausage and a hotdog |
After that we went onto the Honda Museum on the track grounds. This was pretty great as we were able to see the entire history of Honda production bikes, cars and race cars. Looking at how Honda engines evolved from motorcycles was interesting. The first Honda cars had engines that were air cooled and looked very much like motorcycle engines.

That night everyone went out drinking and clubbing except for me. I went to bed. Sorry I don’t have anymore interesting tails to tell, blame Jared for getting me sick. Being sick messed up some of my coverage, I was planning to hit the Wangan for top end racing excitement and check out some of the Togue action but I could not risk getting sicker.

| I say goodbye to JDM food by scarfing down at the food court at Tokyo Narita airport. The food was some of the best airport fair I have gotten. |
Finally the moment you have been waiting for. I think that no trip to Japan is complete without my look at funny signs. I think as Japanese get more westernized, signs become less funny but I tried. Here is my collection from this trip

| I am sticky about my favorite things! | Take a S___ street |
 |
 |
| I want a pinkey ride! Sorry Jenn | Ad for the Japanese cure for muffin top |

 |
| A suckus store | Ghey bathroom |
 |
 |
| Aname porn | Don’t do this |
 |
| WTF? |
 |
| Ron posing next to a scary crotch bulge, camel toe chick billboard. In previous articles I have written about how a lot of girls on big Japanese billboards have massive camel toe. Do Japanese not care? Is it some sort of crazy subliminal thing? |
