MSC CHALLENGE2011！！- EAST AREA 1 -
MOBARA TWIN CIRCUIT／March 6th, 2011 (SUN)

Kusaba last came to Mobara Twin circuit at the end of last year to compete in the MSC Challenge Super Class. At the time, he had a last minute trouble with his car, which forced him to change to a different vehicle right before the qualifying round. Even with the borrowed car, his runs still qualified at the top spot. However since the car was not equipped with the Super Class regulation side-bar protection, he had to be disqualified.
Top qualifier status vanished…… Now Kusaba was back to Mobara for the first round in order to revenge the unfinished business. Although he was not able to regain the top qualifier spot, his stable runs got him the third spot.
Kusaba's runs continue to get better as he defeated the Mobara Twin veterans like #1 Takamiya (JZX110) and #10 Kannno (RPS13) on his way to the finals.

Kanno has been “unbeatable” whenever competitions are held at the final turn of Mobara whether it’s a MSC Challenge events or another competition.
He was the fifth in line for the qualifying and finished his first run with a good stable performance. The second run had both insane angle and perfect line. On his last run, he missed his line slightly, but the exciting driving definitely revealed his presence.
In the tandem tournament rounds, his first opponent was #8 Kataoka (S14). Semi-final battle was against #5 Kusaba (PS13), and although Kanno put up a good fight, he fell a bit short to receive his 3rd place podium.
