It was supposed to be an ice race, but the recent stretch of warm weather meant it was more of a slush/snow/ice/water/gravel race. Regardless, it was an absolutely amazing time!
During the morning, Protege2886, Aero, and I piloted Caboose (#33) through three single-car practice sessions around the snow-x track at Capital City Speedway. Caboose was [...]
While I stood in line at registration back in August 2008 for my first ever autocross event, I was pretty sure I was going to like this driving quickly through cones thing, but I never imagined that first day among the cones was going to be the gateway it has since proved to be. I [...]
Back on the 18th, I spent a couple of hours on Shannonville‘s “Long Track” layout (much more fun than the Fabi lay-out). I’m happy to report that the Big Enchilada sure made a difference in horsepower. Back in June, pre-mods, Ginger topped-out at 145kph on the long back straight. This time around, she [...]
Where do I begin? First off, I guess I have to say that the autox crowd is full of incredibly helpful folks. Everyone is willing to lend a tool, a hand, or a safe place to park. Some, will even offer a trailer or a tow to a comrade in need.

Miraculously, my order shipped from Toronto and was avaiable for pick-up at No Limits Auto Parts on Friday after work. Immediately upon arriving home, I installed the calliper and began adjusting the e-brake. Ped then helped me
It has been too long since I posted, but I can explain myself. I’ve been spending all my time surfing forums and websites learning about Mazdaspeed MX-5s, their likes/dis-likes, things that make them go faster, stop harder, corner better… I’ve also
For those who know me well, it will be hard to believe that I don’t have the words to express how much I’m enjoying Ginger. Driving her puts a smile on my face, even when the ambient temperature is just above freezing and the top is down (note to convertible owners: unless there is moisture [...]
Thanks to the weather, there was little show, even less bbq, and absolutely no shine, but there was tons of laughter and good times
