In more ways than one of course. What a decent car weekend, despite missing auto-x on Saturday. Sunday morning was spent moving my exhaust. It’s almost perfect now… the flaw being that it still isn’t quite centered on the bumper opening. Making exhaust sucks. I spent a lot of time trimming and grinding pieces of pipe so they fit together […]
2 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 […]

I could really spend a lot of time dissecting it, and I will… later. (ha) This is just a tease and exclamation of relief. The […]
2 Only one more week with stupid camera. The car is finally on the road once again… that’s a good thing, but I’ve become an old man and it’s not the fun that it once was. Bang and scrape got tired. 4000rpm+ cruising on the highway? And why does everything smell like oil and gasoline now? I could wine and bitch […]
