I was getting a bit worried that the racecar might be doomed to the bone yard, stripped naked, a lifeless hunk of Corvette yellow metal, fiberglass, and carbon fiber, sitting dead in some scrap yard.SURPRISE!! :rocks:This past Friday morning at 7-am I received a PM from a DSMtuner...

Different Christmas PoemThe embers glowed softly, and in their dim light, I gazed round the
room and I cherished the sight.My wife was asleep, her head on my chest, My daughter beside me,
angelic in rest.Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white, Transforming the yard to a

Race PrepI decided to run the 2-pc Bogart rims versus the Cobra Mustang wheels this race to see if the weight difference between them would have a dramatic change in my lap times. When I went to check the tire pressures one of the Bogarts was down to ten pounds. I sprayed some soapy water...
This race commentary starts at Tuning Technologies where we broke in Mitch's (Engintecs) new motor and Scot Gray did his usual magic with the EMS.Alfred Beltran, the owner of the dyno shop, greeted us with open arms and a glass of cold water. It was 113.79 degrees in the garage that weekend...
I was watching the Rolex Series racing at Mid-Ohio this weekend when in the last 2-laps Joey Hand got bumped in the rear and end-oed nine times. It brought back memories of a similar accident I had at the old Riverside Raceway back in the seventies. I end-oed 13 times, destroying the car and...

With 2005 complete (and another championship yet), we're getting ready for another season. We began contacting our existing and prospective sponsors in the beginning of October to make sure we were dialed in for the new-year. We had some ups and downs and a couple of curve balls but we secured...
Like anything new and different there always seems to be a mystery at the beginning of a voyage. I relate a new adventure in my life like going from the sixth grade into Jr. High school. That first day of uncertainty, all masses of people, going from being a big fish in a small pond to being...

Several years ago Dave Turner had a vision for an affordable race class using late model RX-7s. It started with one car then two and then grew into what is now known as PRO-7. The cars were cheap, abundant, and handled relatively well on the track. What the cars did lack, was power until the...
