In 2008, Roo managed D1GP Veteran Michihiro Takatori to a very successful "Rookie of the Year" season in America's Formula DRIFT Series. The Super Autobacs sponsored R34 Skyline GT-R was the most popular car in the series.   For 2007, Roo was managing pro NASCAR driver Stanton Barrett in the NASCAR Busch Series. Alternating between sponsors Interush and NOS, Stanton have an overall successful run in each race.   2006 brought Youichi Imamura to head the effort with yet another 350Z. With a new look and setup, Apache Racing division manager, Roo, helped the team improve on the previous year's success.   2005 saw Miki take over driving in the ORC 350Z, supported by Top Secret, Roo was once again part of the effort. Another fun year was had by all.   2004 was Miki's last year in the gold S15 but he definatly made it one to remember, taking the 2004 D1 championship! Dart Izumi joined in the fun with ORC backing him in a purpose built 350Z. Once again, Roo was there to support the efforts and keep things running smooth.   Back again for more international fun, Miki and the whole Top Secret crew had already become regulars at the D1 USA events and Roo was there once again to support and manage the team through each of the events.   Apache Racing Director, Roo's first effort into the professional motorsport arena, he worked with Top Secret and their famous golden S15 driven by Miki Ryuji.
