I grew up with him as one of my action heroes. Red Dawn, Point Break, Roadhouse, and other greats like Ghost and Dirty Dancing....damn....he will be missed.

RIP Dalton...why couldn't it of been Kanye?

We've been in contact with the local chapter of the PCA (Porsche Club) and they are happy to have us at their next autocross, which is this coming Sunday, September 20.

Cost is $26 if you register online ($30 in person), and it's being held at the Augusta County Gov't Center in Verona - same place as the BRR events.

Registration is done online (click here) or in person. We'll meet at the Rockingham lot at 8:45 to leave by 9 on Sunday.

Interest?

So about 8 years ago Chan and I started this gangsta shit. The original goal was to get some students together so we could do motorsports-type stuff that we wouldn't really be able to do on our own and have like-minded students to enjoy the thrill of speed with. At that point both of us realized our driving antics would probably result in property damage, injury, and/or jail time so we figured getting our driving fix in a legitimate venue would keep us out of trouble. Property damage, injury, and trouble with the law happened anyway but I digress...

Starting out I just had a little 97 Honda Civic EX automatic. I did my first couple of autocrosses with that, then switched to a 96 Integra GS-R. Had a ton of fun with that car and got up to advanced group in track days with NASA. The plan was to turn it into a racecar but it got stolen before I could do that. That car being stolen was sort of the end of an era with me and cars. I hastily bought a replacement Integra track car that turned out to be a pile, and I let an Italian coworker of mine named Flavio convince me to buy a FC RX-7 that I never got around to fixing up. I sold both of them...eventually.

I joined the MM Dark Side in 2006 when I bought a 2005 CBR600RR. I did some track days with the 600 and sold it last year and bought an 08 1000RR. I've been permanently corrupted by the power and don't really plan on getting a performance car again in the near future.





Some of the cool things MM has allowed me to do over the years is crew with Bimmerworld for a few World Challenge races, interview some racers and team owners for VTEC.NET, and crewing for Ferrari Challenge for Ferrari of Washington. This club has been supremely rewarding for me, lots of memories, lots of friends, and still plenty of poential for the future. I hope some of the new people get as much out of it as I have.

Anyone going?

Hey guys,

I am Clayton and I have a factory Supercharged engine in my AE86 from an MR2. You guys may have seen me at the Millbrook High School Autocross event yesterday in my drift car with drift stickers all over it, including me wearing a blue drift shirt, haha.

Yesterday's event was my first ever non-drift event, and I have been drifting since 2007.

My car's name is Sway (now does my username make sense to you? haha) and she's has had a lot of work done to her by me.

Sway has done 3 events in the past 4 days, the first 2 were drift events on 9/10 and 9/12, then the autocross event on 9/13.

Totally bored right now, I feel like doing a little cruising around on the back roads. If anybody wants to get lost with me for an hour or so, I'll be leaving the Rockingham lot @ 6.

This one is a lot harder.



I'm going to give it to waffles for a couple of reasons.

1) I can make them at home really easily. I have a box of frozen waffles in my freezer right now, all I need to do is throw it in the toaster.

2) I invented this awesome breakfast that consists of two toasted waffles, two slices of cheese on top and two eggs over easy on top of that. That mixture of waffle soaked in egg yolk and cheese is the win.

3) Waffles also invite jelly to go on them, so they are more versatile. You really can only eat pancakes with syrup

With that said, whenever I go out to eat at a breakfast place I usually order pancakes, because they're kind of a pain to make so I rarely make them. Pancakes have their time and place, sort of like that 3 star chick at the end of the bar who has been eyeing you all night and starts to look mighty good after all the talent has left.

I know i can do it on Madizone or whatever, but i was tryin to find an option to stream it using my phone. Cause i wont be home for some of the games, and i would like to be able to listen to it. I know the following radio stations are supposed to be broadcasting.

WWWR 910
ESPN-WGH 1360
WMET 1160
WREJ 1540
WSVA 550

But i cant find a good streaming source to use. Anyone have anyideas?

Bagels by 20 car lengths. Here's why:

Bagels tend to be easier to cut open. Even when english muffins are "pre-cut" you still have to use a fork to open them up to preserve all of the "nooks and crannies"... if you use a knife it just slices right through them and you basically just have a thick piece of circle shaped bread.

I believe bagels are more versatile. Bagels can be eaten at breakfast, lunch or dinner with jelly, butter, salmon, ham and cheese, hummus, basically anything else that is good goes well with bagels. If you are eating an english muffin for another meal other than breakfast, it's essentially a bastard child. You are forcing it to be something it is not.

Bagels come in a wide variety of types, which just adds to their versatility. I'm sure there are other types of english muffins (whole wheat, etc.) but you're not going to find an "everything" english muffin.

Also, nobody likes the English. When you go to NY, you see bagel shops not english muffin shops. Go 'Merica!

Now, bagels do have that inconvenient hole in the middle which can get problematic when you're using them for sandwiches, but the simple solution is to cut it in half so stuff doesn't squeeze out of the hole when you eat it.

Plus I just got done eating a bagel sandwich with egg, cheese, honey ham and ketchup.
