Team USA Scholarship announces winners for 2009

2009-09-28T23:44:46-05:00

Connor De Phillippi and Brett Smrz have won
their Team USA scholarships and will head down
to England for the Fall and Winter classics -
The Formula Ford Festival and the Walter
Hayes Winter classic.

De Phillippi is the current Skip Barber series
point leader winning 7 out of 10 events.

Smrz has come a long way since his accident in
2007 after losing his leg below the knee in
a traffic accident. But it did not sidelined
him and he returned to the track winning
4 F1600 races. Then he continued to defy the
odds when he won the Jim Russell series.
Zanardi must be proud for him.

What country produces the best race car drivers?

2008-07-25T13:48:29-05:00

Pretty much this is a top 3 list. In your opinion what 3 countries do you think has the best drivers?

And don't forget to list your reasons!

Rally Drifting vs. “Fancy” Drifting.

2009-11-10T23:44:30-05:00

This question was on my mind for some time, in your opinion.

What is the better form of drifting when it comes to beating the clock if given a point A to B course? And explain your reasoning why you feel one is better over the other.

And in case you're wondering: No, I'm not some street racing punk who's gonna terrorize the back roads. This is just simply a thought I had in my head for some time.

Conor Daly tested Formula Master car

2009-11-08T01:50:25-05:00

This past Friday, AR Motorsport invited Star
Mazda driver and 2nd generation driver Conor
Daly for a test in the Hungaroring. This was
supposed to be a 2-day testing schedule. But
he had only 1. But he posted big.

In the morning session, Brazilian driver Cesar
Ramos top the time charts with a 1:38.287
followed by Swiss driver Nico Muller with a
1:38.685. Swede Philip Forsman posted the
3rd best time with a 1:38.692. And Daly posted
the 4th with a 1:38.867.

But in the afternoon session, the track was
fast and Mueller came with the best time
followed by Ramos, with Daly as the big
surprise with the 3rd best time.

Looks like Conor is trying to choose a suitable
series to ride in 2010.

Way to go Conor!!!

Oldest race programs you have.

2009-05-20T09:30:57-05:00

A couple of weeks ago my family was doing spring cleaning and we came across some "old" race programs that i got. The oldest one i have is from 1996 ( i know it isn't that old.) from the Busch Series Corstates Advantage 200 down in Nazareth. Just wondering what is the oldest race programs you guys have? I get them at each race i've ever been to, which is kinda sad too.

ALMS Flying Lizard Team has to cheat to hold off Corvette

2009-10-11T18:13:05-05:00

The ALMS Laguna Seca race was amazing it came down to the last lap battle for both the P1/P2 leaders going for it and the GT2 class battle between the Flying (Cheating) Lizard Team & the #3 Corvette C6.R. Clearly the corvette was the faster car and should be awarded the win.

It's one thing to take a line away so the faster car can't overtake but to run someone into the wall on the last straight is bad sportsmanship. The corvette had many chances earlier to tap the rear of the Porsche to take him out but didn't because that's not the way champions win. They should take the points away from the #45 car for this race.
