Jato Fox 🏎️

Having grown up with slot cars and having an endless love for the WipEout series, I need all of this.

First time back at the gym in… well first time this year. Felt good to get active again.

Prep for next year starts now.

In my personal experience, not even close. Preparing is a chore, and typically relieved when it’s over…

Funny that you have Caterpillar pictured there, but I don’t dabble in the machine space.

First day officially in my new job role. Still taking care a lot of the previous role’s crap, so the only notable change so far is the new desk location.

In other news, I’m all registered and reserved up for MFF in one month!

There hasn’t been a better example showing the NASCAR playoff structure is absolute dog shit than this weekend. I feel bad for everyone…

How could you tell?

Happy Halloween! Get spooky today!

Hmmmmm… yeah I need to have some stickers made.

We’re in the back corner to the left once you walk in.

Its one of those nights…

Thought about this a little more… are the first gen BRZ/86 twins in your price range?

I know it’s still early, but can the work day be over? Really just not feeling it today.

Roll bar should only be a hard requirement for track days, certainly not for autox alone.

Passing the broomstick test would be hard with the oem seat and roll bar. Could remove seat foam to get a little lower, but aftermarket seat would definitely be better from a height and lateral support view.

How’s the saying go… *something* is always the answer?

Right, miata!

Felt good to get caught up in posting onboard videos from the past 3 race weekends to YT finally.

Finally have some time to slow down and relax for the first time in weeks. Still plenty left to be done, but not having to rush is nice.

So, have to switch from Toyo to Hoosier tires next year. I’ve got a ton of Toyo $ that I won’t be using.

Anyone looking to get some discounted Toyo race tires? 👀

It did the thing!

Thank you everyone! The little boost I needed for the post-trackday-weekend hangover.

That’s a wrap!

Hell of a day: Pole position, 1st in race 1, 2nd in race 2.

It’s go time.

LOL my last seminar this afternoon, and the last of the conference, was attended by a whole one single person. So instead of presenting, I just sat next to him and we chatted about whatever he wanted for a little bit.

When we were done, I got TF outta there. Now I’m unpacked and the car is ready! 😴

Feeling antsy on the last day of the conference. Don’t even care about my last presentation today, the conference is a ghost town.

I’m ready to get to the track and RACE.

Nothing says “I need to relax after work” quite like loading a race car into a trailer and packing for the weekend.

Whew okay… First presentation for this conference is done, always the most attended one…

Just two more to go, tomorrow and Thursday.

It really is a fantastic facility, and the track is technical while still racing very well. Heartily recommend making it there to experience at least once!

NCM Motorsports Park. We have our annual year-end banquet at the Corvette Museum, it’s a great time!

Can this week be over yet? I want to teleport to 4:00 Thursday, after this work conference is over, so I can go racing again.
