My biggest stumbling block is being...

    Dan wheldon

    I spoke with Dan for a few minutes at the Infineon race a few months back. I was there with my 4 year old son and he was very personable and gracious with his time. He made quite an impression on my son, asking if he would be driving karts soon. He and I discussed how he was excited to get...

    Monterey??

    Going to be getting into Monterey tonight. Taking my 4 year old to Laguna for the first time. He is so excited he has hardly been able to sleep. Due to the recent addition of the 4 year old and the 2 year old, it is my first time in 5 years. I think maybe that I will be having trouble...

    Pete's Pony car restoration.

    Beautiful Stang Pete. I love the early small block Mustang. I like your idea of keeping it old school. I kind of went a little crazy with mine and I regret that it lost most of its old car charm in the way it drives and handles. Here are pics of mine.

    I will be there turning wrenches on the #52 USRRC Cobra. I will only be there on Sunday when the car will actually be on the track. I have a 8mo. old and a 2 yr old so my kitchen passes these days are measured in hours instead of days. LOL Stop by and say hi if any of you are there...

    Portland Raceway or Thunderhill

    Hi Mike, Just wanted to put in my $.02 regarding Thunderhill and the groups that run there. Below are a few of the groups that operate in the Norcal area besides the Norcal Shelby Club that I normally run with. I have run with all of them and although each have their strong points, they are...

    Monterey Historics - need advise please

    Mike, As we get close to the event PM me and I will give you contact info.

    Stub axle fails at track

    Randy, Sorry to hear about your problem. I was running on Sunday and wanted to come by and say hi. Next thing I saw was that it was in the trailer. We had a bit of trouble as well with one of the cars we brought the (1991 Trans Am Mustang) so things got busy between my track time and...

    MSD Ignition or Weber Carb Issue?

    Re: Distributor gear fail Those symptoms sound very close to what we had on a fresh 347. It was indeed the distributer gear wearing prematurely. Apparently the engine builder had a batch of distributors made and the shaft lenght was just a bit long so it was eating the gear. Initially the...

    GT40 Driving Impressions

    Bill, So glad to hear that you got your first long drive in today. Reading about your trials and tribulations made me really feel for you. Glad it went so well. I am sure that there will be a few more little hiccups as you get the bugs worked out (there always are). At least with a good...

    As I sit here I am looking at my signed poster honoring Dan Gurneys win at Spa. The only victory in modern F1 by an american driver in an american car. You could say that i am an excited fan and would love to see them match that acheivement. I just wish the media would get off the Danica to...

    Carroll Shelby vs Factory Five Racing

    Coming a bit late to this party but wanted to put in my .02$. I have met CS on numerous occasions and have spent much time with him just sitting in a motor home talking. As with many things it is not easy to simply paint with broad strokes and label the man. I have seen him be a very...

    F1 2008

    What a fiasco this call is. At least when NASCRAP attempts to throw a race they only spot phantom debris on the track and throw a yellow in the late stages to bunch up the field. I can't imagine them actually throwing the result out completely like this. This was the most exciting race I...
