Auto-x


1

I say sex now, after remarking last weekend that auto-x in the AE86 felt like nothing but masturbation.  Obviously the car has been built for nothing but my own pleasures. Yesterday Ian let me co-drive his JCE10, and like sex, there were some awkward moments and things didn’t really happen like I imagined they would.  In the end… it was […]

It’s sweet how the internet is changing.  I really want to start making videos…  Ryan and his son Adrian put this together.  Last auto-x I was joking to Andrew about making a time lapse movie of a day at auto-x.  It would have like 1000 frames of driving to and from the event, 1000 frames of standing around and waiting […]

Worst day at auto-x in a long time.  It started out great, with Andrew and I being about as quick as I could hope.  I believe after the morning, I had a scratch time that would have put me second overall (1st place being one STX prepared WRX) and Andrew was about 1 sec back with a clean run, and […]
