Screaming Streets poised to scare Mobay! (Sprint)

March 13th, 2014

I am a huge fan of Sprint events, so when I checked the 2014 Motorsports Calendar and saw – March 16 MBMC SPRINT (Tarmac) – I was beside myself with immeasurable joy! I did not require an invitation to begin the process of fine-tuning the logistics, a trip to our tourism-Mecca, demands. I have fond [...]

A track-worthy Lexus?

March 8th, 2014

I passed through the heavily promoted car-party, Heelz and Wheelz, on Sunday. This is not the official report, but I was blown away by the unexpected and as such my hand has been forced. This is a secret that will not be kept. My story-telling African heritage, at times, is my most massive enemy, but [...]

Champions are never usually excited to reveal any form of weakness and in the cut-throat world of [...]

February 25th, 2014

At Round 1 (April), the season-opener of the 2013 circuit racing season, we jumped off the deep end. I was aware of the steep climb that we had but as we say – Neva Scared! We went in recognizing that we would possibly be schooled by the seasoned campaigners. And as expected, I received the [...]

AE86 Update: The journey home after Round 1.

February 24th, 2014

The AE86 made its Dover debut in April (2013) and as expected several areas of concern which all deserved attention were identified. We left the track motivated and determined to have a better showing at the next event – May. AE is one resilient machine – it drives to and from the track! The F1-type [...]
