Buy a piece of Hoonigan History, Ken Block’s HFHV is for sale

18 Feb , 2016   David  

Ken Block HFHV Ford Fiesta for sale

A couple year’s ago, Ken Block set out to build a car that he could use for rally, rallycross and Gymkhana and boy did he ever. He drove the Ford Fiesta HFHV to victory’s in the Global Rallycross series, Rally America and more. Oh yah, he also made one of those Gymkhana YouTube series videos (it only has 33 million views) that he does from time to time. Now it’s for sale and you can hoon just like Ken Block for the low, low price of $362,000 USD. That might seem kind of steep but it’s really not that bad considering that it comes complete with the full rally, rallycross and Gymkhana set ups from the Hoonigan Racing Division.

2016 SCCA Solo/Autocross PAX Index

11 Dec , 2015   David  

Yup it’s that time of year when some sort of formula determines how each SCCA Autocross will compare to another class. After a full year of stock class cars being on street tires there have been some changes that should make things more accurate. CSP, STF and SMF also had some rather large adjustments. Also of note is the addition of a new Street Touring class, STP.

A Tack On A Wall

12 Oct , 2015   Chris  

Engineering. Working within a set of rules to constantly improve upon an idea. Engineering can be easily lost in the light of a final product. Nobody knows about the 39 WDs that didn’t work, the turbos that flew apart at engine idle, or even the puddles of weird goopy film that lead to the eventual creation of Nylon. Engineering is what happens when nobody is looking; when nobody even knows there’s a problem to be solved. There is a cap at the end of an inflatable life vest not more than an ounce in weight. Now hundreds of people are alive because they floated. Because they didn’t need to run to the back of the plane to get a foam vest. Because an engineer made a great product better.

2015 SCCA Solo National Championships RECAP

17 Sep , 2015   David  

It seems like every year Nationals sneaks up on me quicker than the previous year and this year was no exception. I felt the least prepared for Nationals this year than I ever have and my driving showed it, but we’ll get to that in a bit. My Nationals ‘week’ started early, it actually started the Tuesday before as I made my way out to Lincoln Air Park to help set up the fence that forms a perimeter between Nationals and the active air port. Setting up the fence is no small feat, as there is well over a mile of fence to set up and usually a relatively small group to do so. Luckily that group has a lot of practice and we have it down to a science. More…

Sebastien Loeb Takes His Citroen WTCC ’round The Nurburgring

13 May , 2015   David   Video

We all knew that Sebastien Loeb was a god among men when it came to rally driving. His domination of the WRC over the years easily proves that. When he decided to switch things up and tackle the WTCC, we were all sad to see him leave the WRC, but excited to see what he could do with consistent grip. Well he shows just how crazy good he is in this video of his 9 minute lap around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in his WTCC car.

Hold on tight, it’s gonna be one hell of a ride.

5 Everday Cars Ugly Enough To Rival The Pontiac Aztek

8 May , 2015   David  

Pontiac Aztek

Everyday I see cars on the road that make me think, “out of all the cars in the world, why would you choose that one?” Sometimes I think that because the vehicle is absolutely, dreadfully boring, but a lot of times it’s because the car is just downright ugly. So if you want your car to look good you may consider How to remove oxidation and see the benefits of it. We all know about the Pontiac Aztek and how it is considered one of the ugliest creations of all time, but what other cars could claim a shot at the title?

If you regularly get your car’s oil changed at your mechanic’s, you will notice that it is more of a hassle. However, at Walmart, you don’t have to waste any time. You are not bound with the car, and instead of waiting for the mechanic to finish, you can go do your shopping at the Walmart store and come back to a serviced vehicle. It doesn’t get better than that, you can have a peek at these oil change prices at Walmart here for your preferences!

Here’s my list in no particular order, you might not agree, but since I’m writing this my opinion is the only one that counts!

If you or someone you love has been injured in a motorcycle accident, having a reputable motorcycle accident attorney will help you cope with the consequences, if you were actually injured by someone driving a motorcycle then you should contact a personal injury lawyer for your claims.

Dirt Rally! The Rally Simulator We’ve All Been Waiting For

30 Apr , 2015   Andrew   Video

We got a pleasant surprise from the gaming world this week. Codemasters, famous for the Colin McRae and Dirt series ninja released their next installment to the franchise with Dirt Rally, an early access Steam title on PC. Taking a step away from precious Dirt titles, Dirt Rally has a primary focus on stage rally and is closer to simulation than we’ve seen in any rally game in awhile. For fans of the series, or if you’re looking for a challenge Dirt Rally is a game worth checking out.

2015 Rally America Oregon Trail Rally Recap

27 Apr , 2015   David  

Lauchlin O'Sullivan and Scott Putnam took home the SP victory at 2015 Oregon Trail Rally

Oregon Trail is always one of the most beautiful rally locations of the Rally America National Championship season. This year was no different, with Mt. Hood as the backdrop and wide open flowing gravel roads creating the perfect scenery.

With no Ken Block, Travis Pastrana or other factory sponsored driver, the 2015 Rally America Championship is Subaru Rally Team’s David Higgins and Craig Drew’s to lose. And lose, they have not. SRTUSA has been dominant all year, taking victories at Sno*Drift, 100 Acre Wood and now Oregon Trail. It’s gonna be a steep road for anyone trying to make a run at them the rest of the season.

And That Was That….As They Say

25 Mar , 2015   Chris  

There goes an old saying…”Sometimes monkeys die.” It’s not a particularly good saying, and it hardly fits in this instance.  So moving on, in an update to the Jeremy Clarkson debacle from a couple weeks ago, it has been made official by the BBC that they will not be renewing his contract.  Shortly thereafter a statement was made by James May in one of the most oddly surreal front porch interviews I’ve ever seen, that James, Richard and Jeremy are, effectively, a package deal; echoing the statements made by James and Richard initially when Clarkson was suspended on why they wouldn’t be doing the last three episodes without him. So here we are. Top Gear as we know it is ending after 13 years, in a very sad, and ultimately unnecessary way. More…
