Photo by Jason Rogers. 6 The Witches' Wail 2008 Endurocross Solo by Jason Rogers This was the 3rd time we've held the annual Endurocross in recent years. If you haven't heard, an Endurocross is an autocross where the driver gets to make multiple course laps and is scored on the combined time. It offers more continuous seat time than a normal event and challenges drivers to stay ahead of the course mentally. It doesn't take much to get behind the 8-ball in one lap of a normal solo but it's a good deal harder to maintain focus and look ahead like you learn in Evolution driving schools when you have to go four in a row. In some cars you may even tire physically. I would have expected some of the latter in my normal drive, a manual steer Civic with a quick ratio steering rack, but it was half apart and on jackstands.

    Auto racing 1 Auto racing Auto racing Sebastian Vettel overtaking Mark Webber during the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix Highest governing body FIA First contested April 28, 1887 Characteristics Mixed gender Yes Categorization Outdoor Auto racing (also known as automobile racing, car racing or motorcar racing) is a motorsport involving the racing of automobiles for competition. History The beginning of competition Motoring events began soon after the construction of the first successful gasoline-fueled automobiles. The first organized contest was on April 28, 1887, by the chief editor of Paris publication Le Vélocipède, Monsieur Fossier. It ran 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Neuilly Bridge to the Bois de Boulogne. It was won by Georges Bouton of the De Dion-Bouton Company, in a car he had constructed with Albert, the Comte de Dion, but as he was the only competitor to show up it is rather difficult to call it a race. Another solo event occurred in 1891 when Auguste Doriot and Louis Rigoulot of Peugeot drove their gasoline-fueled Type 3 Quadricycle in the bicycle race from Paris–Brest–Paris. By the time they reached Brest, the winning cyclist Charles Terront was already back in Paris. In order to publicly prove the reliability and performance of the 'Quadricycle' Armand Peugeot had persuaded the organiser, Pierre Giffard of Le Petit Journal, to use his network of monitors and marshalls to vouchsafe and report the vehicle's performance. The intended distance of 1200 km had never been achieved by a motorised vehicle, it being about three times further than the record set by Leon Serpollet from Paris to Lyon.[1][2] Auto racing 2 Paris–Rouen: the world's first motoring contest On July 23, 1894, the Parisian magazine Le Petit Journal organized what is considered to be the world's first motoring competition from Paris to Rouen.

  • Backfire May, 2019
    http://www.brandonalecksonracing.com/ The Driver : Brandon Aleckson Brandon began his driving career at the age of 12, racing go-karts in the IKF series winning numerous championships and races during his 8 years of competition. At the age of 18, Brandon worked his way up to the open-wheel racing scene. After racing many years in the karting ranks, Brandon jumped into the newly developed open-wheel Formula SCCA cars in 2003. Because the Formula SCCA cars were an unproven class, they were placed in Formula Atlantic for the first 2 years of existence, proving to be no May 2019 competition to the much faster Atlantic cars. Despite racing against the much more advanced Formula Atlantic cars, Brandon finished the 2004 season 2nd in points in the FA class of the San Francisco Region SCCA. 2005 was a trying year that proved difficult for Brandon and the team as they struggled with gear box problems, but still managed a 3rd place finish in the season ending FA points Championship. 2006 was a fresh start for Brandon, as it was announced the FSCCA cars would finally have their own class. Brandon immediately set the bar high, as he won an impressive 16 consecutive races while setting track records everywhere he raced en route to taking home 1st place in the FSCCA San Francisco Region SCCA Championship. The 2006 season ended with the National Championship at Road Atlanta where Brandon took 1st place in a very convincing performance. Following an impressive year in 2006, Brandon was awarded the Motor Sports Press Associations 2006 Open-Wheel Road Racer of the Year Award IN THIS ISSUE WMR O!cials Page 2 Region Calendar Gunpowder and Page 3 Membership Recognition Page 4 In 2007, the Formula SCCA cars finally received their due as SCCA granted the class its National status under WMR Service Award the title of Formula Enterprises (FE).
