Touring car vet Osamu Nakako was unstoppable with his Honda Accord that
crossed the finish line nearly twenty seconds in front of any others on
the track in the first race. Second race saw a different scenario as
Naoki Hattori and Takuya Kurosawa fought like nuts from the word go all
the way to the flag in their Accords.
