HARAGUCHI drove in afew FD's last year. I have seen him in Young Version as early as 2001.

-How did he hook up with silkroad/falken?

Falken hooked him up and silkroad needed a good driver.

-Will he ever run again?

You can count on this

-What happend to the BN sports FD and FC?

the Yellow FC is not BN's car - it just had BN body kits,

Drift Speed

-Did they buy the wise sport car?

I dunno

-Will okubo be the permanent driver of that car?

see above answer

-Do they really not have a tire sponsor?

Yes - so someone should hook them up

-Why is Quoc Ly so good?

He has been getting a lot of seat time since before dinosours. This is the same guy to get a D1 liscense in a stock KA24de powered S13.

Quoc is all around bad *Censored**Censored**Censored* driver and he is also a really good person in general. He can also teach drifting like a true sensei. If you ever meet him in person you should buy him a soda. He deserves it.

regarding the Driftspeed stuff...
I dont believe they bought the WiseSquare S15...but AP Boss does have an office/US Headquarters set up at Driftspeed's new location in Los Alamitos. The S15 is APBoss'. I believe Okubo is driving for them all season, but not sure.
The Wisesquare car is sponsered by Bridgestone, and the Driftspeed car is sponsered by KUMHO, but since KUMHO isnt a sponser of FormulaD, they cant run their tires...

Yea, i saw him at irwindale and in a vid from seatle. I'm just curious about the time he wasn't in d1, from about 04-06....

Without getting political my understanding is Haraguchi quit driving D1 for the same reason a lot of Japanese drivers are quiting D1. He just happened to be one of the first to see through the BS and call a spade a spade. For that, he is a badas$ and to do it at the end of 2004 he must have had a good inclination that he wasn't one of Keichi's favorites. Another reason for his early departure from D1 was to focus on his shop, 326POWER. The shop and there trends are among the leaders in the Osaka style luxury drift scene. In other words, he doesn't care what anybody thinks of him or his crews style and he is an all around rad dude!

Much RESPECT!

The BN FD got smashed with Tezuka's 81 Mark2 at Nikko.
The FC - I don't know.
Haraguchi - like said already, been doing 326 stuff.
