I was reading Yellow Giant's record of 2008's TDK earlier today. Pleasantly surprised that they use time-chips and send folks out in small groups at a time - sorta like how World Rally Cars are sent out one car at a time to complete a leg of a rally. That's definitely alot safer than tossing everyone out at the same time. I'm really looking forward to this now!
And regarding the downhill... I might be heading out there alone by my car or by train the day before the race. The downhill will obviously be colder than the uphill - according what I read from YG's 2008 TDK experience was that they have a truck that will take your stuff up the hill before the race?
Also, anyone up for heading back down to Takasaki by bike after the race? If I'm not dead after the race, I'd definitely be in. Reading YG's trek from '08 has got me excited.
