My New Project: Ride>Eat>Repeat
Read more: My New Project: Ride>Eat>RepeatViewing the human experience through the foods we share. I’ve been grappling with things for a long time now. Johnny Killmore as a “brand” isn’t really a brand. It’s job is to say “this is who I am and what I do, collaborate with me.” It does that job, but the identity isn’t the same as a brand. I’ve been…

Read more: SRA-West Race Report: Sept 5-6 2010Well things were quite chaotic at Miller Motorsports Park’s East Track in Tooele, UT. The event was a double-header in conjunction with the AHRMA Bonneville GP vintage races. My passenger Vanessa was unable to make Friday practice, so we got straight to it in the morning sessions on Saturday. Immediately I noticed the electrical gremlin that has haunted us all…

Miller Motorsports Park Race, Sept 5-6
Read more: Miller Motorsports Park Race, Sept 5-6I have little time to get into things, but I had a fairly poor race last weekend, finishing 5th both days and destroying my transmission. A video of the start on Sunday gives you an idea of how things went, seen from several perspectives. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e499pinwBE It was still great fun overall, but it ended on an expensive note. There is…

Pikes Peak: RACE DAY 2010
Read more: Pikes Peak: RACE DAY 2010After a good day off Saturday, we were awake Sunday well before the sun. The pit area for the bikes is really just in the woods, and it’s difficult to get into your pit space in the dark. We wedged into our spot and got the bikes out, and the wait began. This year the cars would go first, and…

Pikes Peak: Final Practice/ Fanfest
Read more: Pikes Peak: Final Practice/ FanfestThe final stretch of the Pikes Peak course is definitely and eye opener for an asphalt racer like myself. From Devil’s Playground until the last mile or so is loose gravel. The cars had already practiced up there the past two days, which pushed much of the loose stuff to the outside of the turns.

Pikes Peak Part 2
Read more: Pikes Peak Part 2DAY 3: SECOND PRACTICE DAY From John’s audio-journal: This next day of practice brought a new mindset; ride smooth and let the speed come to us. This is often times the lesson after a crash or off-course to be honest, and it always seems to help. This day featured all pavement and the famous “W’s”, a section on terraced road…

Pikes Peak: Part 1

Passenger Giorgina Gottlieb had no racing experience, driver John Wood had never driven a motocross sidecar and very little experience racing in the dirt, and the machine itself was never intended for…
