Tips, opinions, stories & whatever else I like to share with you about high-performance & race driving, sim racing, coaching, recent motorsport events & stories from the road. Oh, and the lessons I’ve learned from six decades in & around motorsport.

Reading Ross is like having a really great coach sitting in your passenger seat … and you’ve got time to go back again and again.

By Meg Oolders

A dynamic anthology of experimental short fiction, poetry, essays, humor, and multimedia projects from the fiery heart/busy mind of novelist, Meg Oolders.

I get to the end of Meg’s pieces and go, “Holy crap, that was amazing.” Her capacity to inhabit a wide range of characters speaks to a profound empathy.
