I'd pay $825 for 45 horsepower and a warranty, pretty sweet deal!

"“It was a fun day and sunny, which has been rare. It took us a little extra time getting to the dealership, but I'll let Fred tell the tale... ”" It was early morning; I’d just finish my daily ride on my recumbent bike when I received a text from BP. “I’ll be there at 10:15, find out wher...

I haven't had anything to post lately, so, the roads have been dry for sometime, I thought I'd test the heater in the TrackBird, it started right up, I can tell you after a little 5 - 10 mile run that the heater works just fine, It took about a mile before the tires became round. Just waitin' for sp...

BP did a great job capturing a moment and putting this photo together.



Having the 442 in the background completes the visual.

Can almost see light under those skinny front tires!

It was my last chance to attend another iRace until next year so I planned on attending the Weather Tech Raceway Laguna Seca. This was the 16th and last version of this iRace series. Laguna Seca is approximately 2700 miles from home, either a 29-hour drive or a private jet out of Burke Lakefront Air...

You can clearly see the tach goes pass 6,000 rpms approaching the kink. Just sayin'.

The Private Jet and the rental car were both sanitized before I took them.
Now the Ohio Governor and the CDC have me in a ten day quarantine.

It was Wednesday the 02nd of December and I wanted to attend the iRace version 15 at Barber Motorsports Park in Leeds, Alabama. Well that’s 750 plus miles from home, an eleven-hour drive. So I decided to charter that private jet for a 3-hour flight to Birmingham, were I had a rental car reserved for...

OK! Thanks for those two great jimmy videos. That 14.39 pass speaks for itself,
but lining up against a Mustang convertible, thought I was toast.
It must of been a 6 or a 4, but that's ok the jimmy received the "white" time slip.

All the videos were fun!

Another balmy 40 degree day at TRP, only a slight cross wind. BP, 'Smoke, Tony, GMJohn, and I were there. I went ready, to the point I removed everything out of the jimmy, right down to the spare and the jack. I had a 1/4 tank of 89 octane and was looking for some good passes. I made 8 passes, the f...

I just updated the GMC Jimmy's new numbers.

It was Wednesday the 11th of November, I wanted to take in the iRace version 14 at the Virginia International Raceway (VIR). So, I rented a C8 Corvette and hopped on to I 77 which took me within 75 miles of VIR. It’s 530 miles to the track, took me 6 hours to get there. The weather was pretty good, ...

Great Saturday Surprise November 7th at TRP. Weather was amazing for November. 70's. Hundreds of racers thought so. But it was also the TrackBird’s Drag Racing debut. The Bird made 4 passes.

Thankfully I didn't fill the TrackBird tank for a day at Nelson Ledges,
but I will be filling the front tires with 45 pounds of air, 28 in the rear
for a T-N-T at TRP. Get the Bird some numbers.

I believe TrackBird may never have run better then right now.
