Notes From Willow Springs: Sidecar Racing
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...
Monthly Round Up: Moto, Lifestyle, And More
When I decide to avoid the things I should be doing, like work on the projects in my garage or write useful stories, I usually scroll through social media for news. It's one of my de facto time-wasters. As anyone would guess, I end up down a rabbit hole most of the time. There is … Continue reading Monthly Round Up: Moto, Lifestyle, And More
Tax Time Shout Out: Debra McDaniel
I am in the process of sending off the piles of paperwork to get my 2016 taxes done and it reminds me how there are two distinct groups in this country. One group gets their W-2's and files immediately, receiving and spending their refund before Valentine's Day. The other group is like me: laboring to … Continue reading Tax Time Shout Out: Debra McDaniel
The Year In Review: Looking Back & Forward
Joyous new year to you all! The coffee is on for some, and the Bloody Mary mix is out for others. Some are looking on with apprehension, some with excitement; others just see another day. Whatever floats your goat. New years are a time to get your bearings, but I do not like to use … Continue reading The Year In Review: Looking Back & Forward

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
Race day was unique for the 100th anniversary of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The field was drastically reduced and that promised to get everyone up the hill before the afternoon weather came in. The only problem was that water from the previous night's rain had not yet abated. This was obviously going to … Continue reading Pikes Peak 2016: Sidecars To The Summit PART 1
The Best Sound Ever
After four days of tremendous effort, Rising Sun Racing finally managed to fire their engine for the first time at the 2016 Pike Peak Hill Climb. The engine would run at the hotel, but every time they took it to altitude on America's Mountain the lump would stubbornly refuse so so much as stutter. Finally, … Continue reading The Best Sound Ever
