Yes, it ran a full season in 2007 but only made top 16 one time (Sonoma, round 5).

In 2008, it changed liveries (black and red), and was totaled halfway thru the season (I think at Englishtown?) and Yamamoto finished the season in an S13 (I think the one that later became Dai's car).

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the car wasn't top 32 @ long beach or irwindale 07

Apparently it took a lap at long beach, unfortunately i just cant remember

Correct, 2009 was when Top 32 tandem battles started (but there was still top 32 and then top 16 qualifying).

It did get totalled at Englishtown. The s13 that is Dai's was Ross Petty's that year so it can't be the same one.

i know it wasn't the best chassis and wasn't very successful, but always kind of liked the Discount Tire IS350. not sure why. maybe because it reminds me of Saito and Takahashi's Chasers in D1.
