I have to admit, the driving part about the school does not have me worried one bit. I am confident in my ability and experience, I think the open passing in a wheel to wheel situation will simply be added enjoyment. I have already experienced open passing, but not when people were trying to pass me or trying to NOT let me pass them. It was open passing i...

Wow, Looking at the MazdaRacers.com thread on the latest fastrack mention about seats on sliders is intense! I am concerned because I have an appointment to have my seat installed on Monday (Couldn't be a better time to introduce more confusion, Thanks SCCA.) I wanted to have my Sparco Evo seat installed on Sparco mounts and sliders. But it is loo...
Well event #1 is done. Instructor clinic at the local track. They do it every year, and until today, I thought it was mandatory in order to instruct with this particular group... turns out no it is not.I like the clinics though, and this one is not only free, but you actually use their cars, so hey, how can you go wrong with that! Spec SEC Racing (SEC...

OK, I have my car. I needed a seat, harnesses, fire bottle, fuel test port, alignment, tires, and a good once over to be sure it is solid.I have purchased tires, seat (installing on Feb 28), fire bottle, and harnesses, and I have made tabs on a fuel test port from RP Performance. I only need to wrench on my car... sounds easy enough, right? THAN WHY AM I...
Sorry! I have been away for a while. Out on vacation to the caribbean on a cruise with the wife and inlaws, and then closing out 2 contracts at work, but I am back! Since I took such a long brake, I'll include photos. Pictures are so much more fun that stupid words!Hoosier Mid-Atlantic had an open house on Saturday January 29th. I ran up t...
I have been on full track tires for the past... well since I can remember. I started on Kumho Victoracers (what was it, V100), quickly moved on to Hoosier, and have tried Toyo R88, RA1, Yokohama AD07 and A048, and of course hybrid tires like the Falken Azinis.I got pretty lucky early on in my driving addiction when I was introduced to a Hoosier distribute...
I was just thinking about it and I have been doing track events since July or August of 1999. When I started, I did about 4 track events (HPDE) per year and about 20-25 autocrosses for the first 3 years. After 3 years in, I built my first fully prepared race car, a '92 Spec Miata and MAN was it sweet! That car was planned to be the one I would go...
Well, Christmas has gone by and what do I have to show for it? My wallet is much thinner, belly much thicker... But my wife is happy (which is the most important item on a driver's check list)! I will certainly have lots of work ahead of me in order to get myself down to race weight this year, but a little vacation next week should help jump start...
Why I am writing: Well crap. I do enough events, and see enough cool chit on the track that I figure I'll put all of my stories in one common place. I This year, I have big plans... I want to win TTE for NASA Mid Atlantic, Get my comp license, and race in at least one 12+ hour race (in a car, karting is "Been There Done That" at this point)....
