2010 "Road to 8hours" Suzuka 300km & ST600 100km Road Race
2 MORIWAKI Club riders appeared at Suzuka Circuit today. Shota Fujishima in 300km and Yoshitake Miyajima in 100km.

Fujishima entered the 2010 “Road to 8hours” Suzuka 300km Endurance Road Race from Honda EG Racing & Koyokai Dream Racing team. Fujishima marked 2’15”007 at the second session of qualifying practice and that put the team on 26th place on the grid.
Clouds covered the sky on Sunday morning and rain started falling before the race started, and wind was picking up. The condition was getting worse. The rain got heavier just before the race and some team decided to change their slick to rain after the warm up lap, which caused 20min delay on schedule.
Fujishima was the second rider of the team, took over the machine around the half way and tried to control unfamiliar 1000cc machine in very difficult condition. However, he managed to improve their position from 39 to 30 and completed the race.

The next race and the last event of the weekend was Suzuka/Kinki regional championship rd.3, Suzuka ST600 100km Road Race. Miyajima from MORIWAKI Club challenged the event.
His qualifying lap time was 2’19”936 from Saturday session and got 4th position start.
He moved up to the second position right after the race started. Rain got really heavy then, and number of crashes occurred at the Degner curve, followed by another 5 crashes at 130R. The race was interrupted with the rain and red-flagged at lap2. The race restarted at 17:00 with 12laps instead of 18 as it was scheduled. Miyajima was in the 4-way leading pack. The second position rider crashed at “S” corner on lap3 then Miyajima took off from there. He had 28.770sec lead from the runner up when he cross the finish line.
