Thoughts On Risk And Death…
I used to pride myself on how fast I was in the canyons. I was a member of the illustrious "Primer Grey Crew." To be in the PGC you had to be damn fast and also own a bike that was not considered top-notch machinery. The bike needed a small engine, cheap suspension, or just … Continue reading Thoughts On Risk And Death…

ROUND 2 RACE REPORT: Willow Springs
Despite this report being almost a month after the fact, there is still precious little time to talk about our second event of the year. The format was standard at least; a double-header format with two, 6-lap races at Willow Springs Raceway. The most exciting thing was the unknown of Lucky 13 racing, back from … Continue reading ROUND 2 RACE REPORT: Willow Springs
2013 Round 1 Race Report: Chuckwalla Valley Reaceway
Well the season has kicked off and there is a lot to talk about, but little time to talk about it. We began this season with no major changes.

2012 Season Finale
I have no idea why I keep putting off a write up of the final race of 2012. I assume that I just “closed shop” in my mind and have been ignoring sidecar racing as much as possible for the last month or so. The event was rather forgettable from my perspective, but it was … Continue reading 2012 Season Finale

Pikes Peak 2012: Part 2. Race Day.
Saturday before race day is a chance to put the final touches on the machine. We had very little to do besides install the 20lbs. of ballast and clean the bike up. The MyLifeAtSpeed gang had a small get together and we were able to attend. It was great to be able to put faces … Continue reading Pikes Peak 2012: Part 2. Race Day.
Round 2 Race Report: Willow Springs Raceway
This was possibly our most successful outing at "The Fastest Road In The West," Willow Springs International Raceway. The funny part is, we had some serious hurdles to overcome at the same time. The main problem we ran into was gearing. When we modified the rear suspension in the off-season it gave us the ability … Continue reading Round 2 Race Report: Willow Springs Raceway
