ALMS quite literally roared into Mosport this past weekend and having missed the past two years because of my stupid birthday landing on this weekend I was determined to go this time. Forsaking family and the girlfriend and donned my rain gear and went with a good friend who knows the track decently with the [...]

EVENT: CSCS Cayuga August 23
Sometimes it can feel a bit pointless shooting the same event returning to the same track with basically the same group of cars. It’s fun to attend and see familiar faces, races and places – but shooting it can often feel somewhat more deja vu than nostalgia. That said, CSCS this past weekend was a [...]
FEATURED CAR: Vince’s Tailored Suit… IS300
When it comes to modifying a car, no matter what level your car is at – full show car or weekend project – you’re always going to look at your own project much differently than someone else will. You may only see the ideas that only worked out 95% as well as you hoped and [...]
FEATURED CAR: Pierre’s Supercharged 993
Pierre bought his 1997 Arena Red Porsche in 1998 with 3000km on it, and it really was from a little old lady. Ten years on and I’m sure the first owner would barely recognize their old ride. The exterior modifications are so extensive it’s nearly impossible to list them all, but it’s worth trying just [...]

Sunday practice saw a lot of wall riding and wall… tasting… by the Pro cars. 2 of the cars, including the Solstice and an R33 Skyline went out of the competition before it even began. The actual competition day was cooler than the previous practice day, but the competition [...]
EVENT: DriftMania Day 1 – DMCC Hits Downsview!
See the Full Gallery here on Flickr
I had been looking forward to Driftmania for the whole summer, and it happened to land on the very first warm weekend we had in Toronto. Prior to this it has been all rain and cool temperatures, which made for great drifting events on every on/off-ramp around the GTA [...]
FEATURED CAR: Arthur’s Trial Subaru Impreza
Every car scene seems to be sub-divided into followers of brands. You have the muscle car scene and its division along Ford/GM/Mopar lines, exotics divided among the Italian and German brands, and then the Tuner scene, which has perhaps some of the weirdest divisions. There’s the Nissan guys, the Honda guys, and then “the rest” [...]
