Unloading the truck last Sunday night was particularly difficult, mostly due to the late hour and complete exhaustion from what had been 'one of those weekends' for a lot of NASA racing and HPDE participants. However, I had to chuckle as I looked down to see the torn up piece of fiberglass someone had slipped in my truck. The brilliant red paint was unmistakable, Ferrari 355 circa 1997, but more about that in a minute.

This has been quite a 25. I want to express my extreme thanks to both the drivers, who really extended themselves to get the most from our situation, and the crew, who braved the rain, snow!, constant action, and difficult challenges for the entire race.
We arrived at the track still having to install the seat and nets, and then try to test as much as possible since the Lancer had never been driven on a track. We had dodged a bullet the night before, finding a misaligned balance shaft in the newly rebu...Read More

Willows, CA – December 2, 2006
I love my Evo. When I bought it from Snorre Grunnan at San Rafael Mitsubishi, he said "You are going to have a lot of fun with this car." Little did I know just how true that statement would become. My 2004 RS served well as a track toy, and once turned into a race car allowed Goodsport Racing and Dave Brown to win the 2006 United States Touring Car Championship title with excellent reliability and performance. However, there was still another challenge that begged...Read More
