Are You Unbeatable?

[Rod P]

I have a new contributing article with my stories on a online car/race enthusiasts website called Bangshift, follow me this year! with some back story, and current tales of good and bad, heres the start


Are You Unbeatable?


If so, then read no further.

I ended last year’s autocross season with a win at the GoodGuys Southwest Nationals and put up pretty good numbers at Del Mar the following week in the Pro Class. Even with a win, I realize that GoodGuys Autocross is a pretty small pond; I’m not an SCCA competitor, I haven’t raced anywhere East of Scottsdale, Arizona and my only road track experience is from Run To The Coast (American Street Car Series). I also have never had any formal training.
I have read every book on Autocrossing, listened to people who would tell me what they thought I should do, asked any fast driver who was willing, if they would either ride with me or if I could ride with them and I studied every fast driver at the track, watching lines and braking patterns. But again, I have had no formal training; I don’t know what I don’t know.

Great article Rodney! The two of you did great that weekend - your car was definitely getting the job done. And I think that means a lot given the number of cars that came and left on trailers and/or had slicks and permanent numbers attached. Sadly my Avis rent-a-mule wasn't quite as nimble.

And congrats on the Bangshift deal!

Definitely enjoyed checking out your articles Rod.
I would ask you post here when there is a new article available. I did not look to see if there is a way to subscribe via Bangshift. It would be nice to be notified when there is a new article.
