Pahrump, Nevada is a smallish city in the acute, southern tip of Nevada. The population is roughly 70,000 and most of it, when behind the wheel, sticks to the posted speed limits of anywhere between 25 and 45 miles per hour. At any given time, however, a handful of drivers will be doing well beyond those numbers. They are the temporary residents who have shacked up at Spring Mountain Raceway for the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School.

Free tuition is just one of the many perks that comes with purchasing a ZR1.
Set up to teach drivers how to get the best out of their own driving and, if they happen to own one, the best out of America's sports car, it's one of just two official Corvette schools in the country. In fact, free tuition is just one of the many perks (including building your own engine) that comes with purchasing the most almighty of all Corvettes, the ZR1. Within one year of taking delivery of your car, either at the dealership or the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, you can seek tutelage at no additional cost from Mr. Fellows, or attend Bob Bondurant's school in Phoenix. We sought our training in Nevada.

Wine research through a distorted lens

Last week, an organisation called Wine Intelligence put out a press release concerning the apparent lack of trust consumers had in wine bloggers. I can only imagine it was intended to bait bloggers and commentators into some sort of argument to create headlines. Ryan Opaz and I talked about it and found there were simply too [...]

The Wright Stuff

Fresh off a win at South Boston Speedway, Brad Wright scored his second straight win in online race Number Seven for the InTheZoneRacing.com Truck Series. A staggering  41 sim racers attempted to make the 30 truck starting field on iRacing.com’s simulated version of the 1/2 mile Bristol Motor Speedway. The new iRacing.com build provided for outstanding racing, with multiple racing grooves present around the high banked bullring. Nick Johnston of California was the fastest of the 41 drivers, taking the pole for the 150-lap feature event.   Patrick Fogel of North Carolina who started fourth charged to the lead early challenging Johnston for the top spot on Lap Six. Contact between the two drivers sent Johnston sliding into the inside wall, damaging his truck and relegating him to a 21st place [...]
