As an addition to our usual event coverage, I've been thinking lately about doing something a little different. We usually leave the track with tons for photos that don't ever relate to an actual story and don't ever get used. So I've decided to make this the first of my "Photo Dump" posts where I pour all my unused photos here for you guys to enjoy.

I'll pick this up where I left off last year, right before the 25 Hours of Thunderhill. Aside from Pikes Peak, this was one of the coldest events… Read More

We've been anxiously awaiting this year's 25 Hours of Thunderhill, thinking of shots, going over ideas, planning, and waiting. But then sometimes the unexpected happens. Just a week or so before North America's longest endurance race was set to start, Geoff got a call from NASA Race Director Jeff Mohler, to see if he'd be interested in flying to Willows with him in a Cessna. Of course Geoff wanted to do that, but he also arranged for Jeff to give Joe and me an aerial… Read More
