As the day progresses, and gets warmer, the laps get a little slower. Jesse takes over the EG and Simon continues locking them up in an attempt to get 45 flat-spots on his tires.

Two Sundays ago I stopped by Phil’s house to see the current state of his track car. As I’m walking to his garage, I see Phil and Jesse bleeding the brakes on Jesse’s car. They both stop for a minute and they bring me up to speed on what they have been doing and I hear the news about the new addition to the Robles’ garage but that is another story. Phil tells me his garage is a mess and he hopes that I can get around. I thought everything looked perfect. Sure, his working area is very small but he knows how to get around and he makes it work. As I set my gear out, Phil and Jesse go back to work as he tells me more about his project.
Chuckwalla, Chuckwalla, Chuckwalla. That is all I have been hearing for the last couple months. Chuckwalla sounds to me like a nickname or a place where Umpa Lumpas live (yes I know what Chuckwallas are). That’s all I heard from a lot of people wanting to make the trek out west to try the new track. Finally it became a reality, and this last weekend a few of us went to an event hosted by Raceline USA at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway.
The Gold EG P2
Darkness falls as Jorge hits the streets.
The Gold EG
A timeless yet classic piece of machinery is difficult to find these days. Especially one that defines all the key elements of what you’d find in a car build with many rare parts. One that has stood the test of time and has achieved this perfect balance – it has found that sweet spot; the Gold EG.
Last weekend event at FIR West. The heat was dishing it out, but everybody managed to have a good time.
Why not?
Nisei Showoff 2011
This weekend resulted in another trip out to the West Coast for Nisei Showoff. The L.A. show was a great success and brought a diverse spectrum of cars that I normally don’t see together.
Ready For Battle
Phil Robles getting the ICB R ready for FF Battle this weekend in Fontana, CA. Good luck Phil.
Eibach Meet 2011
I’ve been reading and looking over photos of Eibach from previous years. This last weekend I had the opportunity to attend and witness the event up-close and personal. During our ride I decided to kill some time and take some shots of Jorge’s gold EG. After looking at the photos I hope that sometime in the near future we have a chance to do a proper shoot of his car.
