Angle Factory 1 has come and gone. This was by far the most challenging course I’ve ever driven, made up of three turns. Turn 1 was a third gear entry slightly decreasing radius, turn 2 was a second gear corner that got really tight at the end, and turn three was an increasing radius corner. The first two turns on […]

Anglefactory 1


Well… I’ve been meaning to get here for a few weeks now but it’s been really crazy. Massive rainfall has at times, literally turned our acreage into an island. The basement is flooded, the roof is leaking and there has been at times, a river 4” deep flowing in one end of the garage and out the other. My Dad’s […]

Stratotech Drift Practice



Picked up a JZA Torsen diff for the GZ out of desperation after discovering the OEM Clutch LSD was useless. Not ideal for drifting but can’t be any worse then open.

I’ve been meaning to write here more, as I’ve been spending so much time cruising the web and finding absolutely no online car life […]

Mr. TOO JDM TO SYMPATHIZE – On Drifting


Ready to RollRyan and I hosted a private drift session today at a potential venue for future drifting events. Eight of us arrived and ran, to show the Westerner Grounds in Red Deer a little bit of drifting. Circumstances limited us to a quarter section of the enormous lot the CSCC uses to hold their auto-x but we still managed a couple simple 2nd gear courses. I hope everyone had fun, and learned a lot! I am certainly hoping for the opportunity to do it again. [...]
