Well as the 2008 season comes to a close its time to remember the roller coaster it was. Staring the year out with a brand new unsorted race car is never easy but I made the transition without too many problems. Time Attack was also switching into high gear, as PTuning’s Time Attack tC Verion [...]

After a few months of down time the corvette comes back out for a spectacular showing! The problems started at the last HPDE I instructing at in the vette. The Northern Va Corvette Club rented out the track and everything was looking great, until I was flying down the front straight braked for turn 1 [...]

How Setup should have been
April 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Alright, since I’m on my Setup kick I’ll describe to my readers how I think setup should have been run. “Now, I’m not some grungy wanna be film maker” that’s searching for the next big hit in motorsports entertainment, but I do consider myself an avid motorsports fan.

Pro Racing

Recently I’ve been thinking about stepping up and racing with a team in the Grand Am Koni Challenge series. The problem is, as always, the price. A season in Koni Challenge costs roughly what my Corvette did, and if I race in Koni Challenge I don’t get to bring the car home with me. That’s [...]
Another day at the track
April 7th, 2008 · 2 Comments
One thing I do love about my job is the ability to take days off with two weeks notice. A while back I had been invited to instruct with the Mercedes Benz club of America for their single day event at Summit Point Main Circuit. Initially I thought I would not be able to make [...]
