This week we start an in-depth look at what could become a problem. We're taking a look at the diminishing number of Americans in the American rally championship. There was only one in the top five at last weekend's Oregon Trail Rally, the third of six in the American championship. Was that an anomaly? A fluke? The future? We talk with the latest winner in the championship. We talk with the biggest winner in the championship. And we talk with a champion from Canada. You'll find their analysis fascinating and part of a discussion we’ll continue on the World Rally Sport website.

Company Profile: AMS Performance 

By Wes Dumalski 

AMS Performance... No we are not talking about the knock off CDM version we are talking about the original Automotosport hailing from Chicago Illinois. Truth be told I spent some time at the AMS shop last November and began working on this article. It should have been before your eyes long ago, I should have been able to belt out a piece regaling you with their amazing records in the drag racing, power output, and time attack worlds. I should have been touting their accomplishments in the EVO and GTR worlds. SHOULD is the operative word here. The reality was that I didn't want to write THAT article. Hell every AMS article talks about their accomplishments from 8 Second Evo's and GTR's, to one of the most dominant time attack cars in US history. And while those are the things that AMS is best known for NONE of them would be possible without a key ingredient. That's right I am going to brush those things aside and focus on what makes AMS tick.... PEOPLE.

Proposed Amendment to Outlaw Drifting in Atlanta

MotoIQ Staff Report

The Atlanta City Council has passed an ordinance prohibiting Drifting on private property located within 1000 feet of a residentially zoned district. THIS ELIMINATES DRIFTING AT TURNER FIELD!  Our only hope is to convince the Mayor to VETO this amendment, and to convince the council to remove the ordinance after the VETO.  Come sign the petition NOW!

Tested: 999 Motorsports Supersport Racer!

What is as fast as a Smallbore GT race car and cheaper to operate than a Spec Miata? I recently got a call last week from Jackson Stewart, President of 999 Motorsports.  Jackson had called to see if I was interested in driving their new Supersport race car.  The Supersport is designed to be a user friendly and cheap to maintain purpose built race car that is fast enough to be fun but not so edgy as to be scary.  A sort of poor man's Daytona Prototype.  We eagerly made the trip down to Willow Springs to give the Supersport a spin.
