Who is Brian Makse and why is he here?

[Grace]

Although I've been writing and producing video content about cars for a decade, I still hear that same question, "Who is Brian Makse and why is he here?" Lately, that query has much to do with my splitter guard obsession, but I digress.

I was asked to introduce myself to you, dear readers, by way of a biographical account. My path isn’t what anyone would consider normal and writing about oneself is never easy, yet here I am.

Your "makeshift" racing helmet sure looks like a hockey helmet covered in tinfoil.  I'd expect nothing less.

LOL, thanks, Flash!

Elsinore Files... would the real Bob and Doug McKenzie please stand up.

[brianmakse]

Thank you!

[ZaneyVW]

Fantastic. Looking forward to more CanCon!

[brianmakse]

If only the federal government subsidized my column!

[JonathanL]

Strange Brew, perhaps?

[brianmakse]

That's perhaps one reason. The other reason may follow soon, but it's more to do with what I do on YouTube.

[brianmakse]

Well done. That's perhaps one reason!

Ummm, Elsinore... as in short course off-road truck venue, BMX and MX tracks, or vintage dirt bikes of a certain color..?

[brianmakse]

You're on to something here!

[holleyb]

Looking forward to your perspective.

Best wishes,

shouldn't that headline photo be of james street at the top of the hamilton escarpment?

[brianmakse]

I don't have any pix from there, but perhaps a shot from outside turn ten at Mosport would be more suitable.

Although I am from Southern California, I had the privilege of racing at Westport in British Columbia in 1983 and several time in this century at Mission Raceway in my Bill Thomas Cheetah. It was always a pleasure to compete north of the border.

[brianmakse]

I visit Southern California often and was recently there. That's a long haul up to BC!

Why Canada?

[brianmakse]

Why not?

[McNeat]

Certainly hope that your articles

 “ Take off eh ! “

[brianmakse]

LOL you must be American! I never say 'eh'!

[GTOGeorge]

Welcome Brian!  Looking forward to reading your articles from a Canadian perspective.
