Motorsports, travel, and random photos from around the world. Rally driver, car #91 in ARA National L2WD. Life is too short to just sit around and wait.

Dust trails

This was one of the dryest and hottest runs I think I ever did at Dirtfish. It's brutal to drive in, but it does make for some cool photos with the way the dust trails.

SCCA Competition Licensing exam

Doing this during the pandemic years was unfortunately a bit cumbersome, as having to have some kind of mask on in the car made the learning experience a bit stilted. That said, Proformance Racing School at Pacific Raceways has some incredible instructors and talented drivers. Between here and Dirtfish, the PNW is spoiled for chances to get good at this stuff. Learning here is also frankly incredible due to the rain in the PNW... you kind of can't avoid having to be decent in the wet. This was (IIRC) turn 3 or 4 on the course.

Potenza RE-71R

I believe this was at a drift event, but that info is sadly lost to time. The car is fantastic though.

Having had one of these in my earlier days, I get excited whenever I see one.

The format of this spot as a venue is, to this day, still incredible.

The Green Machine

Wonder whatever happened to this thing. Definitely wasn't crashed into a deer by someone I know... this car was a tank for the most part, got me through so many road trips.
