My racing off-season is winding down, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I haven't reached any of my goals yet, but I am still working towards them. This will have been a five- or six-month break, and I needed it after last year's off-season. Will I...
You can never have too much light in your garage. If you're anything like me, you need a lot more light than what your current setup offers. Stop waiting. Head over to Amazon and grab some Barrina LED shop lights. For years, my garage lighting was severely lacking....
For over twenty years, the E30 platform has been a part of my identity, from being my first car to founding a community that still thrives today (E30sport → R3vlimited). My first autocross, track day, and timed competition were in an E30, and most of my closest friends are from the...
When chasing another car on a race track, certain adjustments must be made to safely maintain proximity (and pass the car ahead when the time is right). The most important but not the most apparent change is during the braking zones, specifically the initial brake application. Adjusting your brake application...
2024 was an exceptional year: it was my first full season w2w racing, and I got to do it with my best friends while traveling the country with a remarkable series called GLTC. We're doing it again in 2025, so we wanted to document some notable statistics and...
It has been dangerously close to two months since I've published an article. Though I partially started a couple, life got in the way. I want to get back into a regular cadence with writing, so what better time than now? Please bear with me as I get...
Exploring Why Race Alignments and Corner Balancing Are So Expensive Some people like getting down and dirty working on their cars. I prefer being organized, methodical, and thorough rather than rushing to get something done quickly. That's probably why I like setting up my car myself. While corner...
I didn't grow up watching racing, but I've been into cars since my early teens and hanging out at race tracks since my 20s (I'm almost 40 now). For as long as I can remember, the idea of being at a race track has...
After spending most of my life in Florida, my family relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina, a few years ago. Charlotte is a beautiful city that we love to call our new home, and for the first time in my life, I've been enjoying something novel: the seasons. Summers...
It has been my first time at most of the tracks I've raced this season. All have been great in their own way, but I've certainly enjoyed some more than others. How do they stack up? Let's dive in.
I want to get back in shape. After being an athlete until my early 20s, I've allowed my health and fitness to decline steadily. I've maintained some semblance of a baseline, but efforts to get back in shape usually fizzle out quickly. There is no denying...
I haven't written much here on RISING EDGE since my time-crunch engine swap and the start of my racing season earlier this year. While I'd like to say that my hiatus has been because I've been busy, the truth runs deeper than that. Thanks...
