November 24, 2009

The boys have outdone themselves this time. Tom Williams and Scott Simmons spent a good part of an afternoon traipsing around the Poconos in BMW’s wonderful Z4.

Getting wet in the 2010 Kia Soul

October 27, 2009

Anyone who has known me for a while knows that my taste in cars can be best described as somewhat eclectic. Why else would I decide we should do a wet track day video of the Kia Soul. Funky and fun it is. Fast is ain’t. Really though, the rain at Pocono had been coming [...]

October 12, 2009

During our recent travels to the Poconos for the IMPA Test Days, Tom and Scott got out on the road in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo MR and, well, tested. It turns out that Tom knows a thing or two about the Evo and looks a damn sight better than I do on camera! See what [...]

Challenger SRT8: Did I mention that it was Orange?

November 30, 2008

Leading up to the 2008 IMPA Test Days at Pocono Raceway, we had compiled a short list of must drives. Top spot on that list was held by none other than the Dodge Challenger SRT8. Few cars have created so much buzz in recent years and few cars have stirred the memories of so many. [...]

Lotus Exige S: more track porn

November 8, 2008

I don’t think there are many gearheads who don’t truly get the mystique of the Lotus name. The heritage behind the marque comes from years of racing success and innovation. The modern cars are nothing short of spectacular, combining lightweight construction that would do Colin Chapman proud with modern Toyota drivetrains which are infinitely tuneable [...]

2009 Cadillac XLR: Cruising The Poconos

November 2, 2008

I have an uncle that has always driven the gold chain wearing, boss mobile. First there was the automatic Supra, followed up by a Cadillac Allante. Somewhere along the way, he picked up a new T-bird. Amazingly, he never found his way into an automatic Vette. While in The Poconos, a few months back we [...]

Drifting in the Poconos

October 18, 2008

At their 2008 Test Days, the International Motor Press Association chose to mix things up a little bit with the addition of a few new features. This year, the folks at Consumer Reports wanted to expose members to a bit of modern motorsports with a drifting demonstration. Instead of just whipping a car around the [...]

IMPA Test Days: Getting up to speed

September 14, 2008

I suppose getting up to speed is a relative saying. We definitely drove a whole bunch faster on Day 2 of the IMPA Test Days than we did on Day 1. How fast? Well, that’s the relative part. We spent quality time in a bunch of very different vehicles, with much different outcomes.
