Cocktails and Crankshafts: The Podcast

Before I built my track car, I tried (more than once) to built a rally car. It went bad, every time...

Sort of a composite of my summer 2006 and 2007 visits to "St. Louis, MO" (Madison, IL) for NOPI Drag/Drift events. This episode has drift event audio, tire squeal and PA announcers in the background.

A brief discussion of my memories from the 2005 Sandhills Sandblast Rally hosted in "upstate" South Carolina's Sand Hills State Forest near the town of Cheraw.

I talk with Mae about frozen lake ice racing in the Midwest. Recreational motorcycle ice racers in Iowa and International Ice Racing Association (Car) events on Madison Lake near Mankato Minnesota.

Mae and I discuss what happened between 2002 and 2007...the "Dark" years for my 1996 Nissan 240SX nicknamed the "Stinger".

In the late summer of 2015 I purchased a "Silverstone" 2003 350Z Enthusiast. The rest is history...

In 2000 I participated in autocrosses with 3 different clubs in the state of NC. I was participating in a new (to me) class called "Street Modified". In my home club (Triad Sports Car Club) I had a good season. My standing in the North Carolina Autocross Championship series was somewhat less so. 

What happens when you take a bone-stock, 13 year-old, 135K mile Nissan 240SX to a Time Attack / Time Trial event at a fast road course? Nothing good.

Mae and I discuss my laps in a Nissan GTR at Exotics Racing Las Vegas. This version includes only the voiceover track and not the ambient audio from inside the car.

I went to go fly. The plan...2 model rockets, one small park-scale warbird (P-51 Mustang).

What actually happened? An hour baking in the sun, a lost plane and a failed rocket ignition system.

Oh...and since I forgot to put an SD Card in my GoPro...no footage.
