Suzuki was best known as one of the three original key judges (the other being Keiichi Tsuchiya and Manabu Orido, which Orido left at the end of the 2004 season to compete for 2005, while Tsuchiya left D1 with Daijro Inada due to irresponsible management) in the D1 Grand Prix series.
This phrase is used to express an instance where the "drift" is extremely close or a driver is almost in a position where he/she is going to crash.
One of the funniest moments of Suzuki's career was hosting and judging a 'Remote Control Drift Race' in Japan.
He was judging it with fellow D1GP drifter/host Manabu Orido and turned it into one of the most exciting remote control car races in history.
Suzuki is also involved in car designs, appearing on a segment in Drift Tengoku on DIY graphics and even working on the paint scheme and decals for Orido's 2005 RS*R Toyota Supra JZA80 and Yasuyuki Kazama's 2006 DG-5 Nissan Silvia S15.
