So, last night MaydayGarage ventured out with our friends to meet up with the legendary Smoky Nagata from Top Secret as he landed here in Houston, Texas.   This is the beginning to an exciting week that is about to unfold here in Houston as we prepare for Smoky’s Top Secret “Process” tunes and Import Reactor.  Smoky, who will be tuning cars here in Houston for the next three days at tuner shop Secret Services is looking forward to seeing the tuner cars of the local area.  We don’t know about you guys, but we are hella stoked!  This week is going to be insane..

The man himself.

Continue on for our coverage of Smoky’s arrival…

When we arrived to the airport we were super excited because we were about to meet the man himself for the first time!  I mean really, when do you get to really get to meet a Japanese tuning GOD on your own home turf.  Man, talk about a once in a lifetime opportunity.

John Leigh and Hajime Maki greet Smoky.

When we first saw Smoky walking in the airport we must of looked like a bunch of highschool kids at a Jonas Brothers concert because man, the people at the airport were looking at us like “what the hell are these guys doing?”.  We all started pointing, “Oh man, it’s Smoky!”

MaydayGarage was on it, paparazzi style

Luckily we were able to get some quick footage with Smoky himself, and one thing is for sure, we have taken a poll and none of us are washing our hands again! Haha!
