Past Projects

In the fall of 2001 Ryan and I started assembling and modifying cars together.  All started in different forms, some from scratch, others from near full build requiring only tweaking and tuning.  Nevertheless, all of these cars have been ours… we have a tendency to go through a lot:  lots that never even made mention here, and some that I spent hours writing and thinking about.  It is some form of A.D.D…. really.  In the first few years after we teamed up, neither of us managed to make it through a single season with one car.  They came and went. Mostly it was because we liked to dream, but it was also partly because there was always someone willing to buy.  Cash just looks so good.

Note: These charts are for fun.  Don’t confuse them for us being hard core and bad ass.  Check it out.

…Since there’s been an action shot. I don’t want to dampen the spirits of those who come out to photograph events, but not many of them shoot with a style that excites me. Kevin has shot me before on ice, and he’s good at showing movement. He’s also a fellow Subaru guy (wait… am I a Subaru guy?) His full […]

It’s Been Too Long

Or maybe it’s just not fun when you get obliterated. My first Pro Solo was as painful of an event as I’ve ever experienced. It was in part yellow jerry cans being fed to cars, partly stop clocks spitting out the same times again and again, and part ass kicking. If you don’t know what Pro Solo is, think drag […]

It’s Only Fun When You Win

Having a co-driver makes Solo a lot more fun. Here is a video I put together from last Sunday’s event at the Westerner grounds in Red Deer. Read fast, and don’t get hung up on my spelling and grammatical errors.

Performance Analysis

In the days of AE86, if we wanted more than 185mm of tire, we needed more than 7″ of wheel. Heck in most cases, guys felt like 185mm of tire required 8″ of wheel. Now I’ve degenerated to the point where I’m pinching 245’s on a 7″ wheel. 245’s!!! I haven’t driven it yet, but I expect that it will […]

No Excuses

… STX, or CSP, or SM that is. As much as I have come to dislike modified vehicles, the pile of parts on my shelf keeps growing, and I’m slowly giving in. While it’s only a couple bolts away from being stock legal, 8J wheels and and an exhaust hole fill in plate on the rear valence were to hard […]

Won’t Be Long Now

The SoloPro Driving School has been coming to Calgary for six years now, and this year, not because of my own great motivation, I was given a chance to partake… and I learned something. Every event that I attend, I try and take something away from it that can be applied to future driving… but it’s rare these days that […]
