Fuji Speedway – Toyota World Conference with The Driving Connection
In November of 2015 I worked with the Driving Connection once again at a pretty special location: Fuji Speedway, Japan. The last bout of work I had with Ron Nelson's unique company was on Alcatraz Island during a TV show premier shuttling folks up and down the narrow and steep roads on the island to a jail-house party.. This time around we were in Japan. I was one of roughly 150 driving instructors and professional drivers that flew in from the United States to work the Toyota World Conference. I spent my days at the track assisting in course setup and riding right-seat in the then totally new Toyota Mirai (Hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicle).
