Lets see, Rod C. Edgar F. Juan A., Ling Kang Tong, Jovan M. Christian L. Lee Pashael Steve B. Tony Tam Tony F. Mark D.and of coarse the last GT-1 champ that went to Japan Timmy V.
Sorry if I didn't include many other Past Champs that are still into Racing but these are just a few that come to mind!

It's doable or it used to be doable. I paid my own way in 2007 to race the GT victory class. I did get permission from Fred and Tamiya Japan first though. It was just as much fun as the first time.

The last lap is sure to be a good one, better wax those roofs up gentlemen

Seriously though...The year that Ling went it aligned to whatever promotional activities they were doing. In subsequent years those activities were tweaked so my requests to let any past champ pay their own way fell short with their current objectives. I will try and see what we can do in 2012. Maybe those objectives will align again

That's a tricky one Mark. The year that Ling got to do that was an odd year. I was able to use logic and persuade Tamiya Japan into letting that happen. The next year they said no way. No Ling...they didn't get upset about you venturing to the red light district unescorted Seriously though...The year that Ling went it aligned to whatever promotional activities they were doing. In subsequent years those activities were tweaked so my requests to let any past champ pay their own way fell short with their current objectives.

Careful Mark those "Orl" wounds haven't healed yet, but be that as it may I'd like to say a prayer from the book of Matthew, Mark, Luke and.....DUCK!..... incoming motor! BOOOM! (quote from Blazing Saddles!)

Wow! This-is-awesome. Time to shake off the rust and level up 
[wishful thinking] I know that a bunch of past chumps are older and doing okay financially. If what FWM says about past champs paying their way to Japan is probable, wouldn't it be sweet to organize a short bus load of us to make the trip and do some team stomping?[/wishful thinking]
