Ryan still hasn’t returned from his trip to the states, so I haven’t had time to be de-briefed in detail… but via a short conversation he did present something that may be a problem with his current set up.  It is typical for fast auto-x cars to run stupidly large rubber.  An auto-xer can get away with it more so […]

There is a lot to it, but Ryan got back from the Wendover Pro Solo with a broken car that may have let him down in more ways than one.  One of the things he was talking about was losing weight… and the acrylic hood on this AH Civic may have provided inspiration.  I don’t know about using it on […]

Ryan has left town with the SW11 in tow, and is headed for the Wendover Prosolo in Utah.  He’ll be up against Randy Chase and his SSM SW20.  If you don’t know Randy Chase… he’s kind of a big deal in the solo world… or at least he used to be. The data he can display in this video is […]
