If you’ve been a follower of Out Motorsports for any duration of time then I’m sure you’ve read an article or two of hilariously dilapidated derelicts chugging merrily long past their expiration date.

It came to me just as I sat down to begin writing this, that July of 2020 marks for me a full decade of license-wielding freedom. It’s interesting how such a milestone passes by during a pandemic when people are generally driving less. I count myself as one of the lucky ones during this crisis …

By Tyson Hugie / July 2, 2020 July 2, 2020

By Nicholas Trapane / June 5, 2020 July 9, 2020

This is my second coming out. I’ve come to the realization that despite what others have told me; despite my own inclination to ignore this part of who I am; I have finally accepted and embraced something I’ve been lying to myself about for a long time. I picked the wrong path. One that didn’t …

Races were cancelled or postponed, with cars left on battery tenders to await their next day in the sun. I was afforded the …
