Oracle of DelphiNOB & Tarzan to set Grand Am Wild
May 12th 2006 01:21
Prominent JDM stars Nobuteru “NOB” Taniguchi and Eiji “Tarzan” Yamada are set to compete together in the US Avondale Mazda Twin 200s. They will be racing in the 2005 Grand American Series ST class champion SpeedSource RX-8. This will be the firs time that top Japanese race drivers team up in a usually American dominated Grand Am series
The history’s of both NOB and Tarzan are inspirational, representing a lot of young street driver’s dreams and ambitions.
NOB, which actually stands for “No One Better” started in the streets of Hiroshima and clean up amateur drifting championships when he started racing (Initial D anyone?). NOB is considered one of the best in the Japanese drifting arena with plenty of crowd pleasing tricks all done with lightning pace. He is the 2005 series champion in the Super Taikyu endurance series with team-mate Manabu Ordio (hoorah!) and also is a multiple winner in the renowned Japan SuperGT.
Tarzan, as his name suggests, is King of the Jungle. He was won nearly every race you can think of. He won the Freshman Series in 1982 to start his career, and since then he has been a big name in both Japanese and US motorsports. Some of his scalps include the Zaurus Cup in the All Japan F3, Mirage Cup, Super Taikyu and of course the JGTC/SuperGT.
All the best guys!!
