Indeed. Plus, in comparison with IndyCar, you get to be a bit of a celebrity in Japan while getting paid, as opposed to being obscure for all but two weeks in America, all while trying to find a check from people who reluctantly, if at all, sign it. The reward is greater in IndyCar, but the risk is tenfold. Of course, Mike Conway made it work...
