Sub 1:40 – The Benchmark of Time Attack

A few years ago, in a Facebook Group called Track Midwest, a post was written that echoed loudly around the community. "If you don't run sub 1:40, you shouldn't post." It was somewhat harsh, but it had some validity. It was supposed to be directed at the newer guys...

Bit By Bit, Improving The 987

Intro A cardinal mistake you often see in the upper levels of Time Attack is doing too little in a short time. Instead of following the rule of three, don't change more than three things at once. Then you test. Often, people throw parts at a car, hoping it will go...

Daft Junk: Pipey McGraw’s Bugeye Sprite

Daft Junk: Pipey McGraw’s Bugeye Sprite

by | Feb 8, 2021 | ,

People always ask 'what we’re looking for' in a feature car...  Relatability. That’s it... that’s the big secret lol.  Because to me, relatability has an energizing & encouraging affect. Relatability has more impact than perfection. Perfection is nice, but...

Old School Civic // 2010 S3 Throwback

by | Jan 28, 2021 | ,

Man sometimes I look at old S3 features, and I cringe lol. Not this time....  In 2010, Import Alliance was at the height of it's momentum. In the moment, I don't think we realized how good it was... the way it was bringing us all together. See the 2008 recession had...

Mid engine, gated 6-speed, V8 R8

by | Jan 26, 2021 | ,

I consider the R8 to be an exotic... and exotic-type cars normally don’t appeal to me much anymore. What makes a sports car exotic? The rad-era exotics of my youth, loved ‘em! But that was the 80s/90s when we had F40/Countach/Testarossa/911 posters on our wall. Not...

Overland Sprinters - they’re like the Leatherman Multi-Tool of 4x4s. Meaning... they’re bulky, you really don’t need it, and honestly you’ll probably just leave it at home 90% of the time.  But there’s something so...

Listen, there’s something special going on with this Mechanical Advantage time-attack team. Ima tell ya.  Maybe it’s the solid team dynamic. Or maybe it's their race cars being both brilliantly practical & brilliantly engineered. It could even be the fact that...

No clutch pedal on a 944

We got the 944 running! And as spiritually uplifting as that feels lol, it just means that we now have to address every... other... problem... with this car. Starting with the Porsche 944 clutch pedal. We don't seem to have a clutch pedal. It just flops to the floor....

G35 Coupe so clean

G35 Coupe so clean

by | Jan 11, 2021 | ,

I tend to dislike G35s... Infinity made too many of them... in unexciting colors. G35s have lost all their value, which relates to them becoming cheaply-modified. And most of the G35s I run across seems to be clapped-out, riced-out, not maintained... riding on...

I was on the Autotrader & Cargurus websites the other night... and I was browsing around for something just like this Nissan Laurel. Well not exactly this. But a newer version of ‘something like this’. Something you could go to a dealership & finance. Problem...
