I attending the last Solo 2 event for the Calgary Sports Car Club this past weekend. Our friend Ambrose, the Solo Director this year, was away competing at the SCCA Solo 2 Nationals in Topeka Kansas and he had asked for my help to design and setup this final course in his absence. This was the main reason I attended […]
Just back from 2005 CAC. Haven’t been soloing at all this year so it was a refreshing change. The drifting thing has been an exciting challenge and I am really enjoying the learning experience. The one thing missing from it though is the competitive aspect, something I crave. I’m sure it will come it time as the scene develops in […]
Well, first solo2 event over. AutoX is not foremost in my mind this year but I can’t seem to show up to an competition accepting that I am not going to win. Well, i certainly didn’t win this time. I’m not sure exactly who was running in my class but I did not beat any of the drivers I set […]
First event of the season (a Test n’ Tune) was this past weekend. In the week before I’ve had the whole diff apart on the floor and the passenger front brakes apart to change a wheel stud. With my current lack of trust in the car, it was a white nuckled 130km road trip. No radio and the constant chirping […]
The CSCC put together a post season solo event today, and though the 86 is stashed away, we did manage to get the Soarer out. We got together Thursday night to go over a few things, and drop the car down to track height. It can go really low. [...]
[...]amongst all this I took the 86 out one more time yesterday to a surprise solo event at Race City Speedway. I really only have a pair of r-compounds left, so I ran on my dead drift wheels and tires. Very loose set up. Of the twenty some cars out, I got dusted by an S2k, STi, and 911 not too disappointing. I'd forgotten what it was like to play on the road course. The speed is incredible. Enough to make me wonder what the excitement of drifting really is. Entering turn 6 in fourth gear, braking late, downshifting and turning in... this was real fun. I guess what it comes down to is that I just love driving, and I'll do whatever I can. It was definitely nice to have a clock again, and to have some big boys remind me of a great challenge [...]
