A lot of fun stuff… and not so fun stuff… happened today. It was a good chance for me to capture some more cool in-car footage from my GoPro, and also I finally tested the new engine build on the S14 at the track. With the previous stock build, I was able to get a 1:30 on 595 RSR tires.… Read the rest of this now >>

Technically, I should have been driving a Miata on this day. But unfortunately, it wasn’t ready for tracking. So, I ended up taking my S14 instead, which also was not prepared for a grip event (it had drift tires on it) but was at least mechanically okay.

It’s time to hit up Streets of Willow again. This time, there’s no joint drift event happening on the same day, so hopefully we can all get out there and have some fun. It’s going to be a hot day and a long night, with highs in the 100’s. Lawdy pray for those of us with turbos!… Read the rest of this now >>

What a spectacular day at the Balcony. As expected, with the small turnout we had over the weekend, there was a ton of track time to be had by all the drivers. Here are a few highlights from the event, followed by the big gallery!
I never claimed to be the best drifter in the world, but I know I can teach.… Read the rest of this now >>
