Everything is a blur. The monstrosities of life have overwhelmed me. Stay cool and keep your wits. My camera died. Vancouver was difficult. I drove like shit. I did nothing except embarrass myself, and I let the difficult parts of life destroy what could have been good. Nevertheless, stronger friendships have been formed. I have new goals in driving, and […]
BNR32??
Boredom and business. A major update is due, which will reflect the fact that this website has become entirely my own. I’ve become lazy with such things recently though… so… stay tuned. Anthony L. last years Canadian National DS champion, and I have recently found a shared strategy for competitive driving. I’ll be codriving his supercharged DC5 in Vancouver this […]

Andrew and I went to the CSCC auto-x again on Wednesday. I still struggled with the 615’s, and Andrew agrees that they’re really slippery. The car is definitely slower. Cars that I was tight with at the first events now leave me way behind. Pressures were finalized by the pyrometer at 46/39psi on a hot day where track temperatures read […]
RT615 Struggles
Auto-x last night on the road course. This was my first time driving on Azenis 615 and I was not impressed. In 8 years I've run a good variety of tires, and I have some solid favorites that I would gladly buy again. In the case of the Azenis, I was looking for a fast tire that I could drive rain or shine, on the track and on the street. Past experience in mind, I would have picked the Advan A032R. Not a really fast tire, compared with other R designated tires, but a solid rain tire, and one with forgiving characteristics (which is prime for going really fast). The Yokohama name though... is not cheap. So when I came across Azenis at STRD for significantly less dollars than the Advan I thought they would be worth a try. The Azenis is afterall... the tire of choice for most FD drivers and dominates SCCA solo 2 street tire classes. [...]
First Auto-x on Azenis
DTP was cool. Car shows aren’t my thing… but my car looks good and I’m happy.
DTP… meh
Things happen that make me want to sell my car and give up this life. A difficult drift practice on June 01, whose consequences I have been dealing with this week, a saturday wedding and a beautiful girl, a shattered clutch disc, a smoking engine. Work becomes overwhelming, and I’ve made some promises that I can’t keep. That said… I […]
