On the way to Hollywood, we made one more stop, parking the car on the street. Since Yoshioka's Southern Cali home is just about 2 minutes from my house, we decided to roll out together, especially since he was borrowing the brand new Tom's Racing IS350 demo car, which was just outfitted with Tom's suspension, wheels, and other accessories two weeks ago. Instead of driving out to Hollywood in all separate cars like in Swingers, I decided to head down there with some of my good friends – top ranked AE86 pilot Toshiki Yoshioka, and our friend Hiro Kamiyama from Tom's Racing in Japan. I'll be honest with you though… even though I was planning to be there long before the stunt went down, we had some drama of our own last night. It was pretty busy – traffic on the 101 freeway was pretty crazy in both directions not necessarily because of the NFS launch event, but because there was a big red carpet movie premiere going on, as well as a concert at the Jimmy Kimmel Live stage directly across the street! Needless to say, a lot of normal tourists were surprised to see the staged promotional stunt for the event an Audi R8 and Dodge Challenger drifting in a tight enclosed area, being chased by a cop car, right by the famous El Capitan Theater on Hollywood Blvd. Last night, we attended the Need for Speed Undercover launch party in Hollywood.
