Reporter: Barrier
This soon(Orcboandoseki II) It did not take a stance so much, and it became participation by the truth this year that became times second in the EV4 name of an era. It splendidly became the low rank in the team however. However, it is not discouraged because of this, and the speed wants to pursue something with ERK pleasant happy/for us not to pursue so much/interesting in the future.

Number 33: SUGAO-01 ver.2
Reporter: Kojima Tacashiyo (Woods Engineering)
It becomes the third participation. It dies an honorable death splendidly though it faced thinking only this year because 3rd place and a wonderful result were able to be left last year in the team. It crashes in EV-DAY the second war. A long-cherished ..restoration.. machine has been improved. The brake has still become a problem though it tested last week. The brake doesn't follow though power improved by the controller's change. Gymkhana in the machine that doesn't stop is painful. Moreover, I want to do to the festival that can enjoy only thinking next year.

ERK trial of the fourth times in this time. It is a large waiting lid because it was able to leave a good result last year that thought," etc. "The condition this year. The driver spoils the potential of the machine and to the result of the dance though only overrunning and the Miss course escaped to the half spin. Oh dear, it was possible to participate in the festival happily as usual though a good grade was not able to be left.

Number 43: ZEK-00
Reporter: Okuda Dragon (team friend)
"ZEK-00" of my team that cannot even run straight for the past several years after winning the team the championship in the 1st festival (Is it true?) if it thinks. However, this year's "ZEK-00" ( in reality) obtained the performance to be able to fight thanks to member's Mr. Y. It was glad. The combat power of being possible to go up to the commendation stand (Were you able to win the championship in reality?) surely if I of the owner of the team (Everyone : in the owner in reality) had put out more straight time was gained. Please look at my team and next year when only continuous participation has been holding out to the boast (Do not you think it is terrible when it is possible to participate 7 years in a row, and to do really?).
