Powered by a Stock Honda Fit Engine

It’s an F2000, like a starter Indy Car.

And it’s powered by the same engine as Honda’s Fit.

Not modified either, total stock. Really!

It’s a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder engine outputting 130 hp and 114 lbs.ft. 

(my review for the above 2014 Honda Fit, and a few Fit animated gifs)

Got to go around the DDT track at Mosport 3 times.

Arrow – went off, twice.  Too aggressive into the corners + queen of the late-brakers here.

So they kindly let me go around one more time. Got it.

 

 

Screaming through Newfoundland’s Suburbs

That time I was a factory driver for Nissan in the week-long
2014 Targa Newfoundland Rally.

I blogged everyday while competing, here’s the blog tagTarga

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

Imagine a historic town is shut down and roped off into a complex driving course. You drive through it as fast as you can, the police don’t care, and you do this 10 times a day. That’s Targa Newfoundland.

Total video-game courses.

Thank you sincerely, to the people of Newfoundland, for opening your province and allowing me to almost smash into your homes.

I had the best co-driver, Michel Crepault; we were an excellent match.

See, math camp:

The Micra was stock; I kicked the crap out of it and it was fine.

Enter the lowest class.. there’s no competition, you just get to take advantage of the closed roads in your own car.

It’s a Rare Lunar Eclipse Tonight, it’s a Tetrad

Today is a very rare lunar eclipse, and moreover, today was part of a ‘tetrad‘ – 4 eclipses occurring in a short span of time.

Today is the 2nd eclipse of 4, that will happen over 2 years.

Hundreds of years can pass without a tetrad occurring. Curiously, the next will happen 20 years from now.

We’re living in a peculiar time, there’s a massive, subtle shift happening… includes the internet renaissance, globalization, the soon-arrival of thought-controlled computing….
