Just posted a new video to YouTube of my lapping outing on June 30th. My first ever track session. Fabi layout at Shannonville Motorsports Park. The vid contains two laps from my first outing when I was being coached by DEye. One of these has me following another red miata. After the transition is my last outing which shows some improvement relative to that same Miata, and the fact that I’m faster when someone shows me the line. Cameo by condor888000, too. Video is embedded here for ease of reference…
We just got back from our first “test trip” in Ginger during which we explored the twisty roads of New York State’s Adirondack Park, staying one night in picturesque (and rather posh) Lake Placid, at the local Best Western. We logged approximately 980 km in 1.5 days of driving, which brings me to the meaning of “test trip.” Essentially, we wanted to see if we could be comfortable in Ginger’s cozy confines for the hours of driving that would be required if we were to use her, instead of Zhaan, when we take a trip to Cape Breton and Newfoundland & Labrador (more…)

Our big blue bitch finally got some love today. She got washed, clayed, sealed, and waxed. She looked so pretty, I had to get some shots — the first ever — with her fancy shoes. (more…)

It was a long day, but man was it fun. Siguz (my brother), condor888000, and I made the journey to Shannonville Motorsports Park (SMP) to run in their third autocross (more…)
The 6ULII rims will be in California on the 10th. They’ll be shipped to us shortly thereafter, so it shouldn’t be long before I have to make the trip to Ogs to pick them up. I also flushed Ginger’s coolant and clutch — only the power steering fluid is left to do.
