MR2uesday
“You know those are illegal,” ...they told us at every toll booth.
48 hours, 2600 miles, 18 States, and 1 brake caliper
Our 1985 MR2 race car we bought specifically for autocross just made a surprise trip to Florida from New York City in order to get registered correctly.
Well Done, Vettel
One of the first things that they teach you in whatever version of driver’s education that you take is that if you hit someone from behind - you’re the one in trouble.
Provisional Karting Times (Not Race Results)
As we never got any cumulative lap time board - here you go:
Cars Of New York
I’m not up on mid-90's Volvos like I should be, but I bet you are. Is this an S90 limo? Anyone know anything about these?
One Rear Tire
Come on try, radial
Cars Of New York
You know that feeling when you’re walking along with your nose in your phone and suddenly you stumble across $1.15 million in the street? Me either, but this is likely as close as I’m going to get.
How Many Cylinders Does It Take To Move A POTUS?
I counted 62 before the beasts even showed up, then I gave up.
No Ghosts
Everything about this 1935 GM factory chassis promo is perfect.
What Is FCA Doing?
How is it that I can lease a well equipped 2016 4x4 quad cab Ram with a $6k higher MSRP and a perfectly adequate Pentastar V6 (inconsequentially much more adequate than my current Ram’s V8,) for $35 less per month compared to a five cylinder Colorado W.T., aka Chevy’s “without things” trim level, and with over $1k…
The Devil Inside
I’ve been a fan of 67-72 Darts for as long as my Dad has been telling stories about why I should be, but there’s something about Dodge’s Demon that I always found slightly unsettling. It wasn’t the name so much as the shape that didn’t quite present so well.
Tractor Chicane
Please enjoy this video featuring the use of tractors as obstacles at the WRC Rally Finland for 2016 from just a couple of weeks back.
Everything Right With My Truck
V8. Limited-Slip. That’s it. That’s all I need.
Before You Cut Off That Guy In The Camry In NYC
...remember that most of the time it’s just a commuter in a Camry.
It's Going To Get Moist
The race gods just blessed Silerstone’s starting grid with a five minute downpour of appropriately English proportions. Catch up with what’s happened so far at the British Grand Prix here and tune-in to the race on your most convenient flat viewing screen!
Brake Check : Austrian Grand Prix Debrief
Hamilton broke his streak of poor launches and held P1 at both the start and finish of Lap 1 for the first time this season. The Mercedes driver was perhaps a little relieved to have his teammate four spots back on the starting grid in Austria. Rosberg, though, would bounce back from his penalized starting position.
We Have A Race On Our Hands Today In Quebec
Vettel wanted his Ferrari under 1:13.00, yesterday. He got it - but only by one-tenth - with a 1:12.990. Good enough to qualify third. Vettel’s time is just .178 behind Lewis in P1. Like the Mercedes and Red Bull cars that Vettel squeezed in-between, the Ferrari driver thinks his car has more. I believe them.
Canadian GP: Your Pre-Race Briefing
No one’s properly hit the wall of champions yet, but be patient. We’ve only been been through practice. That doesn’t even matter, though. With just half-a-second between fourth and fourteenth on the time-sheets turned in on Friday, Formula 1's weekend in Canada looks ready to deliver.
FIA Looks To Add Bio-Metrics After Alonso's Australian Accident Analysis
Telemetry has been in-use by various F1 teams in grand prix cars since the late 1980's. Modern micro-chip electronics crawled their way from the engine bay and fuel systems where they began, creating a webbing of sensors covering the cars entirely. Now, the FIA has announced they’d like to do some probing of their own…
Ilmor: Some Of The Sickest Race Engines Around
The 2016 100th running of the INDY 500 will feature two brands pitted against each other in a battle for ultimate bragging rights. Honda builds their Indy engines at the Honda Performance Development center in California, but both the Japanese company’s and Chevrolet’s domestic entry have design roots closer than…
