Just got back from a weekend trip to visit family in Riverside. While there we visited the Riverside International Automotive Museum. A great collection of cars and history from the Raceway. Still growing and adding displays but not to be missed.

Last night found me with "The San Francisco Formula 1 Group" enjoying Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel's and Mark Webber's one two finish of the Chinese Grand Prix.

This may be the largest gathering of Formula-1 fans to watch the race in the states.
Another rain wet race insured an entertaining race with passing, spins…

Following his team's great win at St Petersburg in the first round of this year's American Le Mans Series, Duncan Dayton should have plenty to shout about in his own right - first LMP1 win, first win for the new Honda Acura proto, built on a successful LMP2 year in 2008 - but where did all this success and momentum have its origins?
In historic, OK Stephen, 'vintage', racing.
Dayton had great success in Europe for a few years in a great selection of historic F1 cars, including a…

Since I am, by all accounts, a rookie at this sport, I do a lot---I mean a LOT--of research for anything I write for the blogs. And then I run the stuff past Pete, and he fixed everything! In the course of all of this, I run into a bunch of trivia. So I decided to make use of these useless tidbits and factoids...and put together a series of trivia quizzes. All of the answers are somewhere on http://gentlemensclubthebook.com.
