Saturday I got a flying start from 11th on the grid and ended up leading by turn 2. Unfortunately I pushed too hard, too early, and Sean wasn't able to...

Pikes Peak 2016: Sidecars To The Summit PART 2
[Continued From Part 1] Eventually I found an old article with the 2013 results and compared them to our time. Subculture Racing's 2013 record: 11:26.987. Team Johnny Killmore's 2016 time: 11:26.644: a difference of only 0.343 seconds. If I had missed one more upshift, if I had slacked off in one turn, or if Matt had missed one … Continue reading Pikes Peak 2016: Sidecars To The Summit PART 2
Pikes Peak 2016: Sidecars To The Summit PART 1

A modification to the body by sponsor Bill Becker added an awesome look and more … Continue reading Race Report: Miller Motorsports Park
Pikes Peak Part 1: Getting There Is Half The Fun???
Things started late in the morning with temperatures in the high 90's and 500 miles of desert laid out in front of me, followed by another 300 miles of heavy mountain driving. I borrowed back a 1992 Ford Festiva I loaned my father about a year ago in order to reap the benefits of a … Continue reading Pikes Peak Part 1: Getting There Is Half The Fun???
ROUND 1 RACE REPORT
ROUND 1 RACE REPORT There were a lot of interesting stories as the 2009 SRA-West season began at Willow Springs Raceway. Most of the field had played "musical chairs" with their machines, each team upgrading to the next fastest machine. Being a new driver, I slid in on one of the slowest, my 1997 Windle … Continue reading ROUND 1 RACE REPORT
