Rose City Opener XIII

Posted on 9 May 20046 May 2021 By Steve
Sprint race

My first race week-end of the year was actually the second Conference race: Although I had gone to Mission for the first race of the season, and even gotten my car run through its annual tech inspection, I ended up coming home Friday night. So, for me, my excitement for Portland also included an element … Read More “Rose City Opener XIII” »

The Fall Classic in Seattle

Posted on 5 October 20036 May 2021 By Steve
Sprint race

Going into the last race week-end of the season (points-scoring week-end, that is; there were two enduros still to run), I was a teensy bit nervous about my first experience with the high-horsepower “groundpounders” of Group 1, about which I’d heard so many unnerving stories. Little did I know that I’d get to see an … Read More “The Fall Classic in Seattle” »

The Fall Classic in Seattle

Posted on 4 October 20036 May 2021 By Steve
Sprint race

In a break from the rest of the season’s “tradition,” I didn’t drive to the track until Saturday morning. This meant that I had to attend the mandatory meeting for novices and area drivers (at 8:30 in the morning), get my car run through tech, and get everything else ready before Group 1’s first practice … Read More “The Fall Classic in Seattle” »

Hot August Days 2

Sprint race

The point of the Novice races is to gain enough experience to be allowed to race in the “regular” races. Now that I was at that level, though, I started wondering if I was really ready…

Hot August Days 2

Posted on 16 August 20036 May 2021 By Steve
Sprint race

Heading into my third Novice race, and first race at my “home” track, I was surprised at the combination of calm and tension I was feeling: Calm because this is the track I know best, my car had been ready for some time, and I was sleeping in my own bed at night; tension because … Read More “Hot August Days 2” »

Jim Swanson Memorial VII

Posted on 2 August 20036 May 2021 By Steve
Sprint race

Because of my little contretemps in June, I missed the race at Mission (also in June), which meant I had a two-month break between races. It also meant that my first race after the accident would be back at Portland. Talk about hopping right back onto the horse that threw ya!

Chicane Challenge XI

Posted on 7 June 20036 May 2021 By Steve
Sprint race

Another hot Saturday morning in Portland. Another prediction for record highs. And, oh yeah, my first-ever day as a racing driver.

Conference Novice school

Posted on 6 June 20036 May 2021 By Steve
School

Before I could start my first Novice race, I needed to take (and pass, duh) a Conference-approved school. Conveniently, there was one on the two days prior to an upcoming race. Not so conveniently, the school and the race were down in Portland, some 180 miles from home. And remember: I have to load up … Read More “Conference Novice school” »
