ACR Progress Driver, J. Duarte HPDE-1 Event #1 @ Infineon

Infineon Raceway consists of a wonderful combination of challenging corners, elevation changes, and even an intimidating wall and hairpin, to boot. ACR Progress driver, Joseph Duarte, set out on March 21st to begin his quest for what many enthusiasts seek at one point in their lives: a professional racing license.



Opak Racing/Spoon Sports US - Race #2

Nestled in the flat, California inland lies the famed Thunderhill raceway, where many enjoy its exciting array of high-speed corners and straights, especially the challenging corner #5, where men are separated from boys. Here, Opak Racing-Spoon Sports US approached its second race in the Western Enduro Racing Challenge 5-race series...

Days of Old, Into the Future

Being WyoTech's first annual car show, some of us were unsure of what to expect. Some shows are good, others not so much... However, WyoTech did an undeniably good job pulling this one off.

UFO Autocross, Again!

This Sunday was especially enjoyable because fellow ACR members came out and autocrossed for their first time. (Except Chris - I hope you get that head gasket fixed soon!)

The alarm goes off.

 

My clock reads 4:30. My eyes struggle to  open as I am still dazed as to why I am waking up so early on a Sunday morning.

 

I glance around; there is a helmet, a tire pressure gauge, and my pair of cheap driving shoes waiting to be slipped on. Next to me, my car keys patiently wait for me to grab them and go.

 

What is this all for? But of course, nothing else but an autocross.

The Midnight Run

After weeks of planning, ACR's Midnight Run was finally set in stone.

 

With no prior experience of hosting such an event and only hopeful speculation for a nice turnout, ACR was extremely fortunate to have the pleasure of having many clean rides show at the Evergreen Valley meet spot as the Saturday sun disappeared under the horizon.

Skyline Blvd. Cruise

Roads that contain lots and lots of history behind them always seem to be the ones that are most fun to drive. Because, not only does the driver have the chance to pilot their machine to his/her comfortable limits, but they get to see incredible sights, people, and doses of history otherwise unknown to him/her. We found that exhilaration on Hwy 25, but now we were able to experience it a little closer to home and have the pleasure for two great guys, Mike and Jeff, to join us, as well.
