New Sponsor – English Racing!

Welcome and big thanks to my newest sponsor, English Racing! ER is primarily (for me) an Evo shop, tuning my Evo & it’s ACD for an optimal autoxing setup. So while they don’t do anything directly for the Mini, they have been supporting me as a driver and in return I’d like to support them…

2014 Season Finale & Conclusion

Decided to do a final event in the Evo, which turned out to be somewhat of a mistake. Had a hard time getting used to the car and plowed and plowed everywhere – I’ve got a wheel liner, undertray & lip to fix now during the offseason… oh well. I ran consistently in the 51.5’s…

Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 225/50-17 (Evo, 11/2014-current)

Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 225/50-17 (Evo, 11/2014-current) Bought these as my commuters for my Evo.

They’ve got a ton…

General Altimax RT43 195/65-15

General Altimax RT43 195/65-15 (Corolla, 11/2014-current) Bought these to replace the old General Altimax tires I had on the Corolla before. While the tires perform decently, they do seem to have some sort of quality control issue or something. I’ve had several tire leak problems, none of which stemming from the tire actually having a…
