Staged on the 18th Fairway @ Pebble Beach, the Concours d'Elegance is the cream topping on the best car weekend on the planet.

Weekend Racing at H2H

I thought I would share this with the group.



I ran a non-traditional autocross at a new driving facility just outside San Marcos, Tx called Harris Hill Road. (H2R) The facility is sort of a “no-racing” race track with a club-like membership program that allows members to enjoy lapping sessions during the week and on weekends. I believe the track will be made available for non-competitive club events and lap days. (http://harrishillroad.com/)



The track is well laid out and… Continue

MJDrive: Race to Formula 1 ONLINE DIARY

Dear VRL crew,



Just wanted to invite you all to keep an eye on the only diary I am writing to keep everyone informed as to my whereabouts. As many of you know I recently moved to the United kingdom from Dallas, Texas to pursue motorsport at the highest level, Formula 1.



It's a long shot, but someone is going to race Formula 1. I am seriously fast, and I think that person should be me.



If any of you are interested in following along I am keeping a a regular diary… Continue

Race Report – FC921

I ran my ’62 Spitfire Racer for the first time yesterday and I have to say I exceeded all my expectations.

The hardest part was the 7:00AM departure from Cedar Park for the 100 mile drive down to the AT&T center in San Antonio. It was clear but cold, in the high 30s when we left.…

Where I am...

Sadly, due to a new job here in the KC area, I was missing from the October Hallett event. I still have my 72-ish Lynx B sitting in my warehouse. I finally made some progress on it recently when I sawed-off the original steering wheel (how did anyone fit in the car??) and had a quick-disconnect hub welded to the steering shaft.



With some wonderful pictures provided by fellow Lynx B owner, Rob Newton, I discovered that one of the fine previous owners had cut off the mounting locations… Continue
