Nomura in LA?!?!?!?

alright, i got a question about a video. I was watching a drift compilation video and saw maybe a two second clip of Ken Nomura being chased by a cop car. I flash bakced to an article i read in drift magazine by import racer. some guy quickly brought it up when he spoke about the evolution of drifting in the states. I have been looking high and low for this video and i cant find it or info on it. I think that Option rented a few blocks of downtown LA and just let Ken go crazy with a cop behind him. plz any info on this would really help!

did you actually hear some information somewhere about them renting out blocks in LA or are you just assuming? that would be sooooo much money....but worth it

alright found the article.. now for the part... found it
it says:

"The next day Option moved on to go take care of another project in Los Angeles. Once again, Option paid the city to close down a couple blocks of downtown LA and arranged for Nomuken to come flying though the streets, drifting, all while being chased by a police car. It was a very memorable moment, one I will never forget. It was a turning point in US drift history again."

if any of you happen to have drifting... magazine its on page 85, first column, about half way down.

im not sure, but i think i have the vid, because in it, you see a few seconds of someone driving a car with a cop coming after the car, and it was a drift compilation of different vids. Ill have to try to host it sometime


edit] yes, i do have the drift compilation where hes running from the police.

Off topic but at D1 Nomura was walking around the pit area with a camera crew and he got in the cop car and they drove off with him...I think that part might be in the D1 DVD.
