1998 Tetsuya Ota Crash @ JGTC...RE Amemiya FD Came to the Rescue!!!
Thought I'd share this w/ my fellow 3rd Gen owners, as I'm sure you'll find this a moment of pride as well...
I'm sure we've all seen the video of the horrible 1998 Tetsuya Ota Crash @ JGTC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS2k0JbOpDQ). But today, I had a few min to relax, and was watching the full video of the race...footage I had never seen before. And guess what? The footage clearly shows that the FIRST on the scene to the rescue - in the middle of a race mind you - was...you guessed it...the RE Amemiya (Asparadrink) JGTC FD3S. If you watch the video, SECONDS after the fiery crash, the FD makes a CRAZY fast stop on the side, right next to the Ferrari - which is now in flames. The action starts @ 3:55. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZGyyWQcGD8&NR=1
All I gotta say is, I'm even MORE proud of RE Amemiya and their staff. This is what it's all about... My hat's off to them...

PS: For those who aren't familiar w/ the crash, Tetsuya Ota (driver of the Ferrari that crashed & burned) not only survived (thank God), but also went to win a lawsuit for 90 million yen against the racing organizers for gross negligence...
