Hi, have you seen my Apex? I seemed to have lost it somewhere. Is it important? Will I need it? Don’t forget that I have drift mode... I thought Apex’s are a road racing thing. I’m going to be sideways so I don’t think I’ll miss it. Not even by the entire width of the road... Read more

So you can call NASCAR and complain? And someone answers the phone, listens, and makes notes of it? Huh. How many phone calls does it take to make NASCAR turn right? Read more

Wasn’t that chassis passed around to like 5 race teams? I think Fall Line owned it at one point. It was a really crude tube frame deal from what I remember and the cabin used to get so hot I think they actually withdrew from a race on one of the earlier weekends. Read more

Love that car! How did you talk Jim into borrowing it? Read more

AWESOME! @teamSRD that made it through are my friends that helped us build the Baja Pig in 2010 and are helping us reprep it for this years race. Such great people and my favorite shop in the US by far. TEAM SRD! Read more

There a ton more problems with BMW engines than even listed here. Going back to S14 spinning rod bearings every time you fired one up over 100k. Nikasil cylinders wearing out. Then there were the bad designs like putting rear sump oil pans with no front oil pickup into cars driven by enthusiasts. Read more

crests are where the road goes up and then back down sharply. It usually means you won’t be able to see over it or past it. 300 is the distance between say two corners. could be 50, 100, 1000, but it tells you how far apart two items are. Read more

That 350Z is awesome. They should cage it and race it!

Haha! You remember that? Funny how IMSA didn’t find us a relevant enough to issue one... until we bitched. Then we became relevant real quick. They called, said they made a mistake and offered us a hard card(I could care less but a guy shooting for BRP really wanted one, and it is annoying applying every month for the Read more

The e36 might look good in pictures but old e36's smell like wet cardboard. Apparently something in the doorskin material degrades over time and causes this weird funk. And nothing in the inside actually bolts together. It just sort of snaps over the next piece so when it starts to wear out and come apart your whole Read more

Yeah but the Europeans were willing to spend the extra cash for a nicer engine. The US E36 M3 nearly didn’t happen. There was a whole letter writing campaign and a ton of begging to even get the 240hp one. I think people forget how small of a company BMW used to be in the early 90's. Read more

My Hyundai comment was clearly sarcastic. And I used to watch a ton of sports car races but have stopped watching Imsa entirely. The same is true of most of my car racing friends. Hopefully they’re attracting new fans because most of us have moved on to other series. We still watch a lot of sports car racing just not Read more

BOP ruins this class of racing for me. They might as well run spec bodies too because I dont really care if a Porsche or Ferrari or a Ford wins. I know the cars were adjusted to make them equal - in theory. Read more

The hosts aren’t really the problem, it’s the writers that need to be replaced. The script is so forced that I don’t think there’s one host on the planet that could make it sound natural. It’s also why Chris Harris does so well on the show. I’m pretty sure that his in-car is just him and the thoughts in his head - Read more

After sitting through three of these turds I decided to skip the 4th. They are so painful. It’s like sitting next to the toilet on an airplane. Just when you think it might be bearable, someone opens the door and overwhelms you with crap. But now I feel like I’m missing out on making fun of The Screaming Man and Joey.

I totally agree with your thoughts on the personalities. I do have a distinction between people who love cars and people that collect them. Some love the history of cars and telling everyone about where they have been and why they were built while others love driving their cars and doing things with them. Read more

Totally agree. Sabine is horrible on Tv. Its like watching a bad SNL skit and then you realize its real... I keep waiting for her to spit on the camera but for some reason but she never does.

I wish Totota would show us a picture of the failed part like every other racer on the planet. Hey guys, here what broke. I’ll get a better part next time and change this and we’ll be back stronger for next year. Show us the broken part! Read more
