The great Alfa is back!!!

I'm a sucker for great sounding vintage race cars. Ok, I'm lying. I love the sound of ANY race car. OK, OK... Still lying - I'm a motorhead, loving all things cars; a complete addict.

Imagine my heart sinking as I see a fine example of Alfa-ness tumble to a horrible demise.

But have no fear! The Alfa is back! Rebuilt and better than before!

Here's a disclaimer:

The only reason I started this blog was to stash all my favorite videos in one place. It soon evolved into having a personality of it's own; almost dictating to me what should be posted.

All aboard!!!

Premature SRS Ejection...

Yeah, get your mind out of the gutter. I admit; the title was strictly to get your attention.

Now that I have it... If GM actually believes that drifting a Camaro is not it's intended use, it is painfully obvious why they went bankrupt.

Talk about not knowing their core market...

Walter Röhrl - Vintage S1 goodness...

No one can part a spectator sea like Walter Rohrl. Or maybe it's the distinctive sound pouring out of that turbocharged Audi 5-cylinder that make humans scatter as if you were, well I guess like if you were hurtling a ton and a half of rally perfection at them...

Quite possibly the most comprehensive, intense, all encompassing video on the golden age of rally racing. Excellent sounds, great in-car videos, tremendous commentary by some guy with a British accent.

What more could you ask for?

OK, it's an hour and 16 minutes long, but OH-SO worth it!!!

It's all about momentum...

Racing is more about finesse than power. When your doing it right it feels like dancing. This is most apparent when in a Spec Miata. Watch Brody Goble move from last place to 4th using his wits, patience, and yes; momentum. Even when more powerful cars do something stupid in front of you, patience must remain in plentiful supply. Sure a little venting helps (like at 8:25), but never let it get in the way of your primary focus: maintain your rhythm, preserve your momentum.

Good show Brody! Check out his site - http://www.brodygoble.com/
