Are we ready for the motorsport season to begin? For some of us who watch motorsports closely, it has already started with some endurance racing taking place in January, like the Dakar, Daytona 24hr, and the Bathurst 12hr. NASCAR kicked off their season with the pre-season Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray, and IndyCar is…
As I sit here on this first Tuesday of November (writing this column), I watch 24 horses race around Flemington to win the prestigious Melbourne Cup. That’s an entirely different shift from watching 26 Supercars race around Bathurst just a month earlier. These horses are finely tuned animals that have been bred and trained in…

This begs the question, how does a person get involved and what discipline do they choose? It can be pretty straightforward – find the pursuit that interests you and then join…
Shakey, nervous and filled with adrenaline. There’s this foot-tapping, leg-shaking feeling as we get set to line up with 1,500 other entrants for RockyNats 03. As spectators and sponsors for RockyNats 02, watching from the sidelines was almost unbearable, and we just had to be entrants for 03! Revheads at heart, suppressed by responsibility, it…
The change in weather is enjoyable, and we love this time of year when the days begin to cool and the nights become ideal for exploration.
