Rallycross in Spokane was awesome! Car ran great, track was great, friends were great, I drove like garbage lol. First lap I had enough penalties that it essentially put me out of competition for podium from the get-go. Really bummed about such a bad performance on my part, but already making plans to redeem myself for the rest of the season. Thank you to The ParkingZone, and MeLe Design Firm, as well as Northwest Rally Association, and Qlispe Raceway Park!

Henry AND I ARE IN A VIDEO GAME!!!!! 🥹

Had a blast taking 2nd this weekend at the Labor Day Rallycross! Car still isn’t 100% and am not sure what it is at this point what is making the car die intermittently. One more race left to spoil points for class 🙂 the podium streak for the season lives on!

Officially on the entry list for Ojibwe Forests Rally! Excited to be sitting next to Henry Tabor, another young, up and coming driver from the west coast with both on and off-road racing experience! What can two Ken Block Flat-Out Award winners do together? We will find out!

Look what finally arrived in the mail! Thanks for a great great run in 2023 James Pryzbylkowski, who ended up third in the east regional ln4 championship!

For all the questions about the shark fin, here’s a brief explanation!

I took my inspiration from unlimited class circle track, and scientific articles from formula and gt racing. The purpose is three-fold. Firstly, it acts as a turning vane, increasing turn-in and change of direction. You can experience this effect when you put a flat hand out the window of a moving car, and rotate your wrist allowing the wind to change your arm moving up or down. Secondly, it helps counteract massive yaw angles during cornering. Going sideways isn’t the fastest way through corners typically, and I can fine-tune how I want the car to respond to certain courses by removing or adding the fin. The photo shows an example of this where it is acting like a huge air brake, pushing the air/dust up and over, making one side high-pressure, the other side low-pressure. I theory, you’re looking at a few lbs of downforce. Thirdly, I personally think it looks fu***ng rad, and I’m a big proponent of the “look fast, drive fast” method 🙃
