Well it is upon us. The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is at its 100th anniversary and the action has begun. Teams have had their first taste of the mountain and are tweeting pictures. The road is clear but there is still some melting snow at altitude. The field has been thinned in an attempt … Continue reading Pikes Peak 2016 Begins

I wasn't happy with our headwear offerings so I modified what I had and I hope y'all like it. It seems only right that a guy with a shaved head would offer a decent hat. Take a look here and here.
The Loss Of Ian Bell
I've just learned that sidecar racer Ian Bell was killed in an incident during the Isle of Man TT sidecar 2 race today. He was a long-known name to me, always near the front of the field and his trademark red/yellow/blue colors were instantly recognizable. Ian first raced the TT in 1995, while I was … Continue reading The Loss Of Ian Bell
Fund Raiser Update– Great News!
We reached our goal!!! Thanks everyone who chipped in to get us to the mountain. Since we still have some swag packs from G-Form and Evolv, we are going to lower the dollar amount to at or below retail value. Both companies sponsor Matt in his rock climbing and/or stunt work, not his racing. That … Continue reading Fund Raiser Update– Great News!
Work Begins On The 2010 Bike
Time off from racing has been spent... well, dreaming about racing. Or should I say scheming about racing.

Race Report: Miller Motorsports Park

After putting well over 100 hours of labor into the bike, my sidecar looked essentially the same. 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 2: Registration and First Practice
Arriving at the campground Tuesday morning I got a chance to meet Dave and Steve Hennessy, who I had only talked to on the phone until now. Both motocross hack racers, they seemed to approach the coming race with a casual manner. Dave had grafted an EML left-side chair to a Suzuki TL1000S, with a … Continue reading Pikes Peak Part 2: Registration and First Practice
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???
