4wd is underway with today being practice and controlled practice. As one of my favorite interviews of all time that includes the word ‘practice’ goes, “We talkin’ about practice!” Anyways, there’s definitely a different set of drivers in the mix.

The 2nd round of qualifying has proven to be just as exciting as the first. With one less qualifier to work with, the intensity seems to rise as we approach the day’s end.

I’m sure that his TRCR … Continue reading

Besides winning a WORLDS, winning a REEDY Race is probably the next best thing and in some ways… perhaps even better. The 2014 Reedy Race has finished and as always, the cream rises to the … Continue reading
So I finally got a chance to take a look at Jared’s 2wd from the Reedy Race and to my surprise, it’s completely different from the way he normally runs his RB6. I gotta say I do like the yellow in his new paint scheme and the yellow wheels as it gives it a bit … Continue reading
I had a chance to catch up with the Tacoma Terror and Rd 3 Pacific NW Showdown race winner, Michael Schoettler, and asked him a few questions about his car and how the performance was over the weekend.
