May 7, 2012 in Japan Auto

While the Silver Cup doesn’t carry championship points nor prize monies, trophies are still awarded; encouragement for those still cutting their teeth. Taking the win here was Dennis Palm in the Nissan Skyline R30 GTX with Duane Small taking second and young 17-year old Mozambican, Chail Cassamo claiming third. Read the rest of this entry →
