24 Hours of Lemons

by

Since today was the 24 Hour of Lemons at Road Atlanta, I was reminiscing about the car my brother concepted (I know that’s not a word but I think it should be so it’s staying) and raced with his brother-in-law years ago. The idea behind the race is “a race for everyone” and with a … Read more

Amazing News For Prototype Racing

by

I’ve been watching sports car racing for most of my life and the one thing that always kills it for the fans is the wide variety of classes and sanctioning bodies that prevent teams from efficiently marketing their cars across the different racing organizations. In some amazing news for prototype racing, IMSA and ACO sanctioning bodies will be working together to align their rulesets in a way that will make it so the top tier prototype sports cars in both programs will be able to run in both the ACO sanctioned races and the IMSA sanctioned races.

Urban Outlaw: The Perfect Name, The Perfect Passion

As cynical as it sounds, I rarely find anything inspiring on the Internet nowadays.

My Morning Commute Sucks. Thanks, Patrick Long.

by

I’ve spent most of my adult life trying to figure out how to avoid the stereotypical “American Way” and its 9-5 work hours. I don’t function efficiently during those hours, no matter how much I am paid or how much I convince myself I can, it just doesn’t happen. Instead, my “commute” has been altered to fit my own ever-changing schedule and means of transportation, whether it be my skateboard or BMX bike.

Today, however, one of my favorite racecar drivers has completely ruined my idea of the perfect morning commute with this video. Never again will I be happy with lackadaisically meandering to the corner coffee spot …ok well, maybe sometimes, but Patrick Long, Porsche factory driver of my favorite race team, Flying Lizard Motor Sports has a pretty kick-ass “commute” to deal with, almost makes me jealous, even if the coffee gets cold. I’ll be making coffee at Laguna Seca this weekend, however, just like I have been for American Le Mans events for the last ten years or so, and the coffee… it won’t be cold. Go Lizards!

Formula 1 Circuit of the Americas – Austin Texas

by

My friends over at @whtcollarcrime just sent over this new Red Bull video of the Circuit of the Americas. I figured since the rest of Formula 1 seems to be bowing down to Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull Racing this season, I may as well tip my cap to them as well. Red Bull is one of … Read more
