Welcome to the Studio

K Street Studio is my home business and workshop for art and engineering projects, photography and electronics projects, writing computer programs, and writing books.  Physically, it is a small room in my home that is stuffed full of books, computers (some new, some from before the Internet), printers, cameras, electronic parts and tools, all to allow me to indulge my passion for making things.  Currently, these things include a photo and video art project, a text book, animations and tutorials for another textbook, a computer that will go into my street/track car, a video system for my street/track car, writing computer programs for display and analysis of road race data, and the production of track videos for myself and my driving students.

SCCA Autocross Action in Sacramento - May 18, 2008

It was a fast course by autocross standards, and that takes a little time getting used to. You'll see me plowing through most of the sharp turns in the first run and maxing out 2nd gear in the long slalom. I managed to get things under better control for the next two runs and found a lot more speed in the slalom, shifting into 3rd half way through it, shifting back into first for the last hairpin, etc. In the last run I was hitting my top speeds in the slalom but then I almost slid through the L-H turn at the end, ruining my time. You've simply got to break earlier when you get faster. (This video is hosted on StreetFire.)
