In no particual order: National Anthem. She knocked it out of the park. It was inspiring. Jennifer Lauritzen vs. Joy Higga in AFemme. That was some great racing. Tucker vs. Gish. Gish relegated Tucker to 2nd all day long with breakaway performances. Tucker pulled out a perfect last lap to...

Preface: My uncle Will was a bit of an entrepreneur in his younger days and to this day, a high number of P-51s that are flying in the US are credited to his efforts. His stories rival many Hollywood adventures with corrupt cops, pirates and more. This is an excerpt from the draft of his...

Bear with me, as this is a motorcycle connection as he used various bikes to get around in Central America. Long story long, after WWII, the U.S. sold a lot of its surpluss planes to Central American countries. In the early 60's my Uncle Will came up with a scheme to buy them and bring them...

If anyone cares to join me, I plan on jogging the track when it goes cold on Saturday. If you've never done it before, you really learn every bit of the track. FYI - 6-9 is one big, long uphill and 8-9 is much more brutal than turn 5.

Maybe crash isn't the best word to use. Just seeing if anyone has couch space in an RV for Sat night.

Another weekend of talking instead of racing for me; but, here's what stuck out for me from my view high atop the 64th floor of the Thunderhill Towers : Steve Metz pulling his first (and hard fought) win in the AFM versus a hungry GoGo The incredible efficiency of the turn workers all day and...

Budman covered many of them and a couple readlly stood out to me. Congratulations to Brian Bartlow for not only taking his Ninja 250 down to 2:07's; but, for delivering on his vision of the 250 challenge, too. The Saturday race was action paked and one of the more thrilling races of the...

I've been holding onto this bike as it's the very first vehicle I every bought brand new; but, I just don't ride it anymore. I've put 2,000 miles on it in the last three years and I have two other bikes, so I'm putting this on the market. The bike has 24,xxx miles and has had the oil changed...

New bike, new leathers, new sticky Pirellis and Dito to capture them all. It's kind of funny, I didn't even put 0.1 miles on the OEM tires. After all these years of riding the track, I still get giddy each and every time I roll up to the grid.

Long story short, my son's Pinewood Derby is this weekend, so I made it a mission to build my own car for "documentation purposes". The car had to come in at 5.00 ounces or less. It isn't pretty, it was just an exercise in hacking off as much material as possible while still having enough...

I've had this bike sitting in my garage for a couple of years since switching to other bikes to race. I start is up every few months and that's about it. This is a well sorted GSXR 1000, built by Mike Canfield and tuned by Ken Hill. The bike was converted to a race bike from new. Ken Hill ran...

This Z² weekend, once the track goes cold, I'll be hitting the track for a jog. It will be hot. It will be miserable. It will be insane. Anyone crazy enough to join me? If so, bring running shoes, hydrate up and be ready to go running at 5:00 PM. Why do I do it? Call it a personal challenge. I...

I used to paint jackets back in the day. Never thought to take pictures and just have one of the ones I did for myself. I put away the paints for many years. Then I found a story about a local P-38 pilot who was shot down in WWII. No pictures of him flying, so I did some research and created...

My wife had the good timing to hold off until after the race weekend. Zoë Viktoria Anderson jumped the start and was born four weeks early, on 9/21 at 12:19 pm. Tech inspection almost put her in impound due to suspected low blood-sugar levels; however, she was found to be legal and released...

Some of you may recall my experience with the BMW that took up two parking spots right up front at Chuck E Cheeses a few months back. Today, I got my second therapy session in. So there I was... (all good stories start this way). I was at Costco, waiting for a pump to free up. I was in my Chevy...

Meet Koli. 11 week old Akita, with my son Kris.

I'm usually a pretty mellow guy. I let a lot of things slide off my back and most of the time, I'm patient. I had just taken my little boy to Chuck E Cheeses. They have a firefighter video game that he thinks is the coolest thing in the world. We blew through about $10 in tokens and had a...

I hope for everyone else's sake not. "eeeeek will loan you the shirt off their back." I hate that my Grandma was an English teacher...

...you don't tug on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger And you don't mess around with Jim I've never actually heard the song that those lyrics come from. It's just something I remember my dad saying when I was younger (I didn't know my...

Anyone heading up to watch? http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/ I ran in the first couple of Lemons races and it was so much fun. They will be running a modified version of the track and while I can't run this race, I'm going to try to make it up to watch a little.
