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.

Sprint Racing

Participating in a sprint race at Dirtfish. Was actually happy with my performance on this one!

Corgi Boba

He steals every toy that's put out for him and his brother. He then brings them to me periodically, demanding to play. It'd be annoying if it wasn't adorable.

Shing02: Battle Cry

The encore of the show. I usually skip this song but I can see why they chose it for the encore - crowd erupted and it was a good tonal shift from Luv Sic.

Shing02: Luv Sic

For whatever reason, I listened to this set quite a bit after my little brother passed away. It was amazing to see it performed live... even if my feet were killing me afterwards.

BBQ Juicy Marbles

Their new short ribs product is nothing short of amazing. Pretty much the gold standard in meat replicas as far as I'm concerned.

A cross-shot of a slice of vegan seitan brisket. There's a visible fatty deposit that's caused by peach tree sap. The brisket is brown and marbled with different layers, and there's a crust exterior due to the cooking process.

Vegan brisket experiment

A washed-flour seitan brisket with boiled down peach tree gum to mimic a fatty layer. Probably one of my most successful experiments! Most people agreed that the mouth feel and taste were much closer than they expected it to be. Just a shame that I avoid wheat these days due to allergies... otherwise I would've pushed this idea further.

Co-drivers are amazing

Rally is a unique sport where you generally have a co-driver who handles calling out pace notes (among other things). Really helpful when fatigue starts setting in!

Showcasing the area

This photo is great not just for the slide - which is certainly fun - but for the sheer expanse of the mountains in the background there. Racing around Dirtfish is an incredible experience since it's nestled in sheer natural beauty.

Flowing hairpin

One of my favorite turns on the courses that Dirtfish tends to build. It's a long hairpin where you want to modulate the throttle to carry through.

Spray

No real great title for this shot. It's a good one though - the photographers at Dirtfish are incredible at what they do.

A car begins to initiate a sliding turn to the right. Another car has exited on the next straight over and is pushing ahead. The cars are black coupes with orange Dirtfish accents.

Running laps

This shot is deceptive, since there's a long run to the right - but seeing the car in front of you at any point does get you a bit amped.
