86400 Seconds of SPEEEED. Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at. Posted by Jim Whitelaw. In order to really absorb the flavour of the race and because I'm cheap, instead of a hotel, I camped out in the infield camping area of the track, the main feature of which is a 36-hr Gong Show performed by professional tailgaters. It turns out that a marginally muffled Mazda RX-8 zoom-zooming by at 200mph only 50m from your tent is not as sleep-disruptive as you'd think once you are tired enough. He Said, I said. As this w...

Monday, October 25, 2010 at. Posted by Jim Whitelaw. Now that summer autocross season is over and the Miata is in storage for the winter, I thought I'd have a go at rallycross racing. It's similar to autocross in that it's timed racing on a closed course, but it's done off-road and the scoring is a bit different. Rather than counting your fastest run in a day, rallycross totals your times and so it rewards consistency. My co-driver for the day was rally driver. Here's some great pictures taken by Grant C.

Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at. Posted by Jim Whitelaw. I couldn't help but notice the fascinating contrast in these two automotive headlines this morning. One is about a car maker that is selling stylish. Faster than they can build them. The other is about a company that received a USD$50BN taxpayer bailout. Has helpful government bureaucrats telling it how to operate,. And is partly owned by its union. Hyundai adding third shift, nearly 900 jobs in Alabama. GM to axe 100 R&D positions.

Saturday, April 24, 2010 at. Posted by Jim Whitelaw. I'm sad to report that I've come down with a bad case of shipwright's disease. I got started doing a few improvements to the Miata for this year's autocross season. Last year, all I did was change the oil and buy new tires. This year it was going to need a little bit more. I needed new front hubs, since I had one wheel that was really noisy and getting sloppy. I'll just get that done quick before the season starts. No problem. Except . . . Come to thin...

Photos from Autocross Sat March 20, 2010. Monday, March 22, 2010 at. Posted by Jim Whitelaw. Here's a couple pictures of me and the rollin' bimmer from Saturday's autocross. I'm running the Michelin X-ice winters and clearly suffering massive amounts of body roll. Someone called me "two-wheeler" yesterday. Ahem. Thanks to Keith Moore for the photo.

That car thing I do. Thursday, May 27, 2010 at. Posted by Jim Whitelaw. Here's a good video documentary explaining the sport of autocross. The narration is kind of wooden, but it pretty much captures the essence and fun of the sport: Precision driving, improving your skills, camaraderie with other gearheads and (usually) a nice day outside in the sunshine. Wednesday, May 26, 2010 at. Posted by Jim Whitelaw. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little pep-talk. If you're stuck in a rut you need to get out of...

Holy Slip Angle, Batman! Wednesday, July 27, 2011 at. Posted by Jim Whitelaw. A beautiful 'ring lap on a wet track, showing excellent car control skills by driving instructor Andreas Gülden. His line through the Karussell at 7:50 is a blast to watch. You can see he gets a bit more daring as the run goes on. It looks like the rain has just stopped and the track is perfectly wet.
