2004 Meet The Beat

The annual MTB, was held at Twin Rings Motegi (TRM) May 9th this year.  TRM has just played host to its first Indy Car race and was still a buzz with the hype of the event.  This year unfortunately the weather gods were not smiling on the full-day event with the onset of rain in the afternoon.  Even with the forecast of rain, there were approx 400 Beats in attendance.
