Logbook

This is the heart of the site, containing the details of every race (or race school) I’ve attended. It’s updated as soon as possible after a race week-end, with reports following as soon as I can get them written.

2019

No racing this year, either, but I have FINALLY bought myself another car and so I’ll be back on track in 2020. This time, though, I’ll be driving some good ol’ American iron instead of an import.

2018

Racing this year? Nope…

2017

No racing this year.

2016

Almost certainly no racing this year while I decide what to do next. SE46 still looks interesting in the abstract, but guys are already starting to go a little nuts within the bounds of the rules: built motors, $4500 diffs, seam-welding, and other things of that nature.

*Although I wasn’t running at the checkered flag, I won the class due to a rule change a few years ago that I voted against: the other car in SPU didn’t actually start and I completed more than 50% of the race laps by the overall winner.

2014

I still have (faint) hopes at an enduro seat in October, but looking like no racing for me this season.
