Destined For Greatness: 3 370Z’s Prepare for the Arrival of Top Secret
Secret Services Auto was surrounded by 370z's last thursday as Planet Zero, Swat Performance and Baker-Jackson Nissan were dynoing their Nissan 370Z's in preparation for Smoky Nagata's (of Top Secret Japan fame) arrival and tune starting on March 29th, just in time before Import Reactor Unlimited. I must have counted 5 or 6 370z's that day in front of the shop, three of which sported a small "Top Secret" decal on the rear window.

So, we continue our coverage of Wek-Fest. As we had mentioned before, we had been awoken to the sound of exhausts and scraping frames at about 6:00am on Sunday morning.

On March 31, 2010, Houston will experience the legendary Smoky Nagata of TOP SECRET Japan like no other has before. Smoky, along with one of his trusted Top Secret Mechanics will be coming to Houston as special guests to local Houston car show, Import Reactor. Smoky however, is not just coming as a guest, he will also be tuning TWENTY Nissan cars over the span of THREE DAYS at local tuner shop Secret Services with a new ECU prototype, Top Secret Process.
The Chosen Nissan Cars to be tuned will be selected from the Nissan 350z, Nissan 370z, Infiniti G35, Infiniti G37, and R35 GTR. Over the span of three days, the first two will be PRIVATE tunes only, no public access will be granted. But, on the third day, from 3:00pm until 12:00am the Houston tuning community will look on as Smoky Nagata puts his personal touch on the remaining cars to be tuned.
This is truly a golden opportunity for anyone who has dreamed of having their car tuned by Top Secret Japan. Not only will 20 lucky people be able to meet the one and only Smoky Nagata of Top Secret, but they will also be able to have their cars tuned by him as well.
Meeting Smokey Nagata has always been a dream of mine and in March, Houston will get to experience the legend himself. OH HELL YES!

OTWeb: It’s here, Ken Block’s new ride. 2010 Team Ford Fiesta!
Well it is no secret now that Ken Block and his DC media powerhouse have now teamed up with Ford for the up and coming Rally season due to Subaru's recent withdrawl from WRC. I am a bit partial to Subaru so it will take a bit to get adjusted to, but man, this Fiesta looks pretty bad ass, and I am digging that Monster drip scheme..check it!

Event Coverage: Formula D Pro-Am Nationals pt. 1
Well, back to reality...the office on a Monday morning..coming back from The House of Drift, Toyota Speedway, Irwindale, the home of the 2009 Formula D Pro-Ams. It was my first time to witness drifting at this spectacular track, and I got to witness it as 24 of the nation’s top amateur drifters battled it out for their Formula D 2010 professionals licenses. Comradery, drama, wrecks, and awesome driving were all witnessed as each driver drifted with an FD license in mind.
