RIAM

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.

The San Francisco Formula 1 Group take two.

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. F-1 fans started to arrive at the "well used" Overtime Sports Bar and Grill around 11PM with a finale count of over 120 fans with by my count almost as many women as men. 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… Continue

From historics to moderns, success for Dayton

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.
