Dennis featured his brand new, brilliant orange 2008 Porsche Boxster S Limited Edition at the recent SPOKES autocross on 10/5.  You couldn’t help but notice that bright color, only available within that Porsche limited series model.     This was his second event with this car – it has only 4000 miles on it.  Dennis calls [...]

We had a rare treat at the last SPOKES autocross of 10/5/2008. There was a vintage 1967 Fiat Abarth Spider, on display (like a museum quality piece) and ready to compete. This little car was petit, to say the least. The other cool thing about this car is that this has been a father/daughter project. Both [...]

Vitek, driver of the silver Timing is Everything Subaru WRX STi, brought out his shifter kart to the SPOKES 10/3 autocross. It was sort of brutal watching him get “banged up” while out on course at speed, but then again, he did have LTOD (lowest time of day). Here are the details: – 1999 Tony [...]

See those beautiful metallic blue wheels? I have to admit, I was like a moth attracted to a flame, being drawn to this beautiful piece of automotive functioning art. I originally had no intention to actually talk to Rick, the owner of this immaculate 2005 Honda S2000. Rick actually asked me about my salivating attitude [...]

Like I’ve said in the past, you see all sorts of rolling stock entered into a autocross competition.  I noticed this different Volvo and talked to its owner, Owen. This is Owen’s mid-80′s Volvo 760 TurboDiesel Wagon.  He said he originally bought it as a parts car for only $100.  Then he put in a running [...]
