Guys, I'm not the most experienced corner worker I know but, after 20 years, I have managed to be around for a few things that we all know sometimes happen while on track. When the master switch is turned to the off position, please be sure the ground circuit is open. No ground, no spark...

Chris, It was good to have you back in town for a few days. I'd offer a feeble apology for the days of rain while you were here but, given that you've since returned to the 110+° heat (:thumbsdown:), rain probably sounds pretty good right about now... Congrats to you and Bethany on the...

Sandy, From a corner workers perspective, the location is perfect. Your friends in white thank you. T.

Congrats to both you and your son, Bill. Mission accomplished. :thumbsup: T.

Years ago I read somewhere that Ben Franklin was credited to having said "The Constitution only gives people the right to pursure happiness. You have to catch it yourself." In this case, Brian, it seems you have. Congrats and best wishes to you and your bride! I had that same chat with my...

Dave, Hoping you and Doreen have a speedy recovery and are in the best of health soon. T.

Keith, Beautiful car - thanks for sharing. What a thrill to own a piece of history! What about the occasional chip in the paint? Do you have a close match or a painter you trust? You have a PM. Best, T.

Jon, Whatever happened to the Tornado? T.

Don't forget the border crossing - going south. Sheesh, what a hassle. Chris Kouba and I drove through Abbotsford last week, on the way to visit Derek Smith and have a look at the Porsche 962 replica he's building. Very nice fellow - and what a car. The wife and I are about an hour south...

So very, very true. It's hard to explain but when seeing the car in person, it's very clear that photos convey only a fraction of the visual impact of this car. When I was there for a visit in May, there were a few moments when I honestly wondered if the 40 I'd already purchased was the wrong...

Not so, my friend. Any reputable manufacturer of metal buildings offers or can point you towards a full insulation package with the end result showing no appreciable difference in temperature, winter or summer, versus that of a brick or stick build. Of course, an adequate heater AND air...

Good grief, Scott - did the boys at Spikes blend a little nuclear waste into the yellow? You're gonna need welding goggles to be in that thing on a sunny day. Like Freddie Prinze used to say so well: Looking goooooood!:thumbsup:

Brian, I was there; TM at Turn 3. I've run into your uncle out on the turns at a number of Seattle vintage events in the past. Nice guy. Accomplished photographer. Interestingly, I remember talking with him at some point during the weeked about the photography restrictions for the...

Grant, For the horsepower you're talking about, an Audi would be far more than adequate. Rumor has it that the 016 is quite reliable to 400 horsepower, and is just fine with more power provided you're not abusive to your equipment... not to mention that an Audi can be had for just a fraction...

Ian, On the off-chance you hadn't considered one this size...

Veek, Providing full time power to your door-lock circuit would be a piece of cake to hook up. The bigger issue is to ensure you can connect auxiliary power to the battery (thus your door locks) when/if the battery fails and you're locked out. HERE

Gary, Dave C, the owner of an RCR 40 in your part of the world, has had nothing but positive comments about the craftsmanship provided by the fellow he contracted to complete his 40, Nick Dames... I wonder if Nick might be available to work with you on the SL-C. Send him a PM (Nick Dames) and...

Cliff, Ian's point about piston pin location was the reason I opted for fewer cubic inches. That and, even with the horepower loss due to Webers, my 331 came in at 435 hp / 450 torque. Two words: Keith Craft. Two (more) words: no diasppointments. Give me a call sometime. T.

Ron, Funds via wire transfer were posted to my bank account right after the July 4th weekend.

Chris, One of the cars we love to watch out here in the Pacific Northwest is a sweet little F5000 driven by Paul Hoey out of Olympia, WA. Talking with Paul over the July 4th weekend at the Historics event in Seattle, we talked about his plans to be at RA this weekend. He was really looking...
