Here is a nicely done overview video of what an autocross is & how it’s run.  This was put together by the Akron Sports Car Club (ASCC) of the Northern Ohio Racing Association (NORA) at Northfield Park, Cleveland-Akron, Ohio.  It’s about 1o minutes long, but well worth it! This was a very fun looking course, [...]

Never doubt the power of a well-tuned Miata!  Look at what my friend Craig did at the San Antonio Raceway Midnight Madness event, this past weekend. Yup, he blew off a Suzuki GSX-R superbike in the quarter mile!  And know that the core block of this engine has close to 180,000 miles on it.  It’s [...]

There are 4 different activities to start off your Saturday morning.  Wake up to some good coffee, [...]

I found a fellow Miata/MX-5 enthusiast, Peter L., who runs an interesting website called MX-5 Unleashed.  He’s set up a cool “web tool” there to share.  He calls it The Locator. With The Locator you can post your Mazda Miata/MX-5 location with some basic information about you, your car & web-related business promotion data.  Also, [...]

I was able to personally experience the fastest, normally aspirated Corvette (212@MPH!), at last May’s SEA Track Attack, which was conducted at Harris Hill Road (H2R) .
