Worldsaurus travel guide launch

Worldwide travel guide Worldsaurus.com is a new website I’ve been working on in my spare time. It’s a travel guide powered by people, and features integration with the Google Maps API so you can browse around for locations. I needed an easy way to share information about places I’ve been to, and decided to make it easy for anyone else to share things also. The site lists attractions, things to do, reviews, and photos and is a fun way to quickly see what areas around the world are like. Check it out at http://www.worldsaurus.com/

Drifting is a popular motor sport in Japan in which cars go sideways. Drivers compete for style and accuracy points. There are many variations of the race. The one at Nikko, Japan today is the D1 Street Legal competition. All cars must be street legal, which means they are restricted in horsepower and other features.
