Demon Rally Team Debuts New Car @ Wild West 09!
The site of the event was a small town in the southeast corner of Washington state. A town where if you blink too long you may just miss it. Once a year this delightful town opens its doors and welcomes the competitors, teams and spectators for the Wild West Rally. This year would mark the return of the Demon Rally team in their brand new VW mk2 Golf. Just a year ago the Demon Rally team had a very bad wreck which left their VW Rabbit in completely destroyed. This year they came back, and they came back with a vengeance! Since the wreck in ’08 the team had found…

IRDC Driving School 7-26-09
I recently had the chance to take the IRDC’s (irdc-racing.com) Performance Driving School. I have been preparing my car for lapping days for quite some time now and finally felt the car was ready for action. The cost of the school is $250, and includes a classroom session and a full day of on-track action!

Got the car loaded up late Saturday evening and loaded everything up. We made it to the track by 7:15 and…

Ralleytuned Sponsored SPU car @ Pacific Raceways!
This weekend the RalleyTuned/TRAKS Clothing SPU race car made its season debut at Pacific Raceways in Kent, Wa. It was a very warm weekend with temps in the shade hovering around 90deg. We saw track temps both days in the 130′s!! Needless to say it was a very warm weekend and we are pretty certain everyone got some color from the sun! The weekend started off shakey on Saturday morning with a very tail happy practice session. We found that the issues lyed in the heat cycled out Hoosier R6′s. The decision was made to take the Saturday qualifying session on the better/newer Kumho 710′s. Brad set a pretty decent…
