First 2013 Track Day

April 9th, 2013 · No Comments · BMW, Car Event, My Cars, Photos, Porsche, Racing

Last Wednesday was the first open track day of 2013. It was a beautiful day, so I took my 911 out to see who was there and what was going on. I still have a few things to do to the S2000 to get her ready for our first track day, but I’m hoping with [...]

Sunday at the Track, in Photos

October 16th, 2012 · No Comments · About Me, BMW, Car Event, Driving, My Cars, Photos, Racing

Much like I did for Saturday, this post will just share the photos that I took on Sunday. Sunday started off great for me, as I was moved from D group to C group. Definitely a great accomplishment for me! All of us rookies had an instructor ride with us for at least the first [...]

Saturday at the Track, in Photos

October 11th, 2012 · No Comments · Car Event, Driving, My Cars, Photos, Porsche, Racing

Since I’m pretty lazy and would rather occupy myself with things other than messing with video, I figured I’d plan on sharing my photos first, broken down by day. Saturday was interesting, being the first day where us newbies were mostly learning the track and trying to show our instructors that we were okay and [...]

The Pre-Track Weekend Friday

October 9th, 2012 · No Comments · About Me, My Cars, Photos, Porsche, Racing

This past weekend was my track weekend and driver’s school with my S2000, and it was a BLAST. I’m still trying to figure out how to put all my thoughts together, and hoping that some video & maybe photos surface. I know I have 1 1/2 hours of GoPro footage to sort through myself! That [...]

May Autocross

June 20th, 2012 · No Comments · Driving, My Cars, Racing, Video

Now this autocross seemed different….. Way different. And it wasn’t just because it was only my second autocross with the S2000. She had her new KW Variant 3 coilovers on and an actual alignment. She felt like a different car — gone was the twitchy rear end, she felt planted through the corners and harder [...]

S2000′s Alignment Trip!

June 15th, 2012 · No Comments · Modifications, My Cars, Photos

Warning: You are about to go through a post that contains nothing but iPhone photos. Not sure why this matters, but I feel the need to have a disclaimer. Now you know. After the KW V3 install naturally came an alignment, and the perfect reason to visit a local shop that’s come highly recommended by [...]

Friday Track Day

May 29th, 2012 · No Comments · inspiration, Photos, Porsche, Racing

It shouldn’t be a secret that I love road course driving and racing. One of the best things about where we live (other than the total lack of fear over having our cars stolen) is that there’s a lovely 2.5 mile road course about five minutes from us. Sadly, even though I’ve lived so close [...]

First 2012 Autocross!

May 8th, 2012 · No Comments · Driving, My Cars, Racing, Video

April 22nd was an exciting day for me — It was my first autocross of the 2012 season! Not only was it my first race of the season, it was my first autocross ever driving the S2000. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to get the KW Variant [...]

2012 Auto Boat Speed Show

April 17th, 2012 · No Comments · Car Event, Photos, Porsche

Shortly after getting home from Florida was the Auto Boat Speed Show here in Spokane. It’s not a huge show, and almost all classic and muscle cars, but to me it means that spring is here and progressing and that car things are FINALLY starting to happen again. Lucky for me, there were a few [...]

Driving the 458 Italia

April 10th, 2012 · No Comments · About Me, Cars I want..., Driving, Photos, Racing, Travel, Video

I really didn’t want it to happen, but it did anyway (not that I REALLY thought I could get away with it not happening) — I fell in love with the Ferrari 458 Italia. Hopelessly in love. It is such an amazing car that you can’t help it. The entire time we spent at the [...]
