I know I will never race a car in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. There’s a near-zero chance I’ll compete on some grand motorsport stage. Over the course of two days down in Baja, Mexico, however, I lived out my wannabe-racer fantasies. With Wide Open Baja, I blasted a buggy around, up, through, and…

It’s wild that the race continues on to this day… The Isle of Man TT race is an amazing event. I was fortunate to attend once a few years back and, even as someone who doesn’t care much more motorcycles, was blown away. The speed. The focus. The dedication and passion of the fans. And…
