Happy to announce that we’re making some upgrades to the braking system on the car this year! I can’t say that it was brake problems that caused our crash on the peak last year, but during track testing in June last summer I had a harrowing experience at High Plains Raceway. I had good brakes [...]

We’re excited to announce that Enkei Wheels has joined our team as a sponsor for the 2012 season. As some of you who’ve been following our progress for the last couple of years know, we’ve been running 17×9.5″ NTO3+M and those wheels have put up with a ton of abuse. Last year on our race-day [...]

2012 Evo Widebody (Part 1 – Body Work)

With Pikes Peak finally being a 100% paved race this year, we thought it might be time to try and make room for some bigger rubber under the car. Of course also helping make the decision was the fact that the rear quarter panel was still damaged after last year’s hit into the guardrail. Read [...]

We decided to take advantage of a time when all of our cars were running at once. The idea? Lets take the Hill Climb Evo AND the BMW rally car out to the first RallyX race of the season. The BMW was being driven by Grant and Josh and of course, the EVO was being [...]

It’s not too often that I get to play around with my own cars at this time of year, as they’re usually torn apart for off season maintenance. Add to that that I’m busy working 7 days a week (5 in Denver and 2 in Steamboat Springs) and you can see how the stars must [...]

2011 Continental Divide Hill Climb

After the damage sustained at Pikes Peak this year we were a bit unsure if the Evo would see any more racing action in 2011. Turns out that despite the guardrail incident, the Evo came out relatively unscathed. We cracked a shock, bent up the rear quarter panel, lost a headlight, sideskirt, and a tire, [...]

BMW 318ti Build: Finding Weaknesses

Building a race car isn’t as simple as just bolting some parts on the car and hoping it will all work as much as I’d like it to be. We’re extremely lucky to have the CORE facility just an hour from our house, so we have many opportunities to shake the car down…hard. That means [...]

2011 Pikes Peak – Race Day

The Pikes Peak Hill Climb is every bit as much an addiction as it is a learning experience. Year 1 we learned that reaching the summit is challenge enough – even more so in a 20 year old car. Year 2 we learned that sometimes its 40 degrees warmer on race day than practice – [...]
