Ballet on dirt

James Stewart and Ricky Carmichael raced head to head in the first moto at Southwick, proving once again just how fast they are. Wicked fast. It went on all moto long and when the dust settled, James stood at the top of the podium. But the outdoor National series, consists of two motos, so once... Sign in to see full entry.

A NaPalm racing update. NaPalm racing has been absent from the track for some time now. It will be almost two years soon. Then he can race without having to sign up as a pro. Not that he doesn’t have pro skills, he just doesn’t have pro time. I am not one of these parents that thought it wise to... Sign in to see full entry.

Formula One, drag racing, NASCAR, motocross, it’s all available to me, and thanks to my DVR, I can fast forward through commercials, fluff pieces, endless caution periods and watch races in a reasonable length of time.

When the race track turns to muck, try not to get stuck, might have been the mantra offered by crew chiefs at the Seattle round of the Amp’d Mobile, AMA Supercross. The rains came and the race went on. The start saw James Stewart getting an early lead and Chad Reed needed a few laps to go from... Sign in to see full entry.

Irving Texas is in the record books, and a wild ride it was indeed. Ryan Villopoto won the Lites race and looked in control doing so. He will be rarin’ to go on his home turf in Seattle this weekend, although he cannot score enough points to take the championship, he has definitely left his calling... Sign in to see full entry.

RC car racing is challenging. A spectator at the race this weekend informed his daughter that these were not “real cars”. I wanted to tell him not to insult any of the RC aficionados with that uninformed comment. They are serious cars and the racers are having serious fun, or in my son’s case,...
