Just spent a couple of days sorting and labeling more photos. Found some from SCORE Off-road races in 1978/1979, also some from the Riverside 6-Hour enduro race. Also more from the IROC races at Riverside. Then there are the pictures from the Monterey Historics 1977/1978/1979. What a collection.

Having vacationed in Savannah, GA. just a few weeks ago a friend forwarded this to me thinking I would get a kick out of reading it. Someone posted this on Craigslist in the Personal section. I found this to be very entertaining to read so I thought I would share it!

A question to pose this week: is your muscle car too nice to drive? By that, I mean to say, is your muscle car too valuable to drive – or built with so much care and so many special touches – that the risk of driving it on the open road is too great?
Would you risk taking this GTO out on the open road?
I’m on vacation in St Louis this week, and Labor Day was just a few days ago. Here in St Louis I saw two mid-1980’s Buick GN’s on…

After much thought and input from Friends of Hellé, the decision has been made to postpone the placing of the marker for Hellé Nice until September of 2010. It is thought that having it coincide with the annual Bugatti gathering at Molshiem, it may insure there are many more Bugattis and enthusiasts in the area to attend the memorial. I really would like to see the French Bugatti enthusiasts as well as racing and classic car enthusiasts have a wonderful "once in a lifetime" procession from…

Whether you currently own a classic muscle car or you’d like to, and regardless or the year, make, or model involved, we all have one very common need: insurance.
Should you insure this '69 Daytona in the same you do your Toyota Camry? Not on your life!
Ah, insurance – the one word that almost everyone (except insurance agents) say with a tone of disgust. Most of the time, people take on auto insurance policies and pay the…

This is one of the best car forums I have been to. I have an STI and a Honda Prelude SH. The SH is my daily driver and the STI is what I pull out of the garage every weekend for a little fun. If you have any improvements or mods that are not so expense and give good results please let me know. I'm always looking to sup up the Subi.

Beauty is in the function.
The national SHO Owners Association has just recently finished their national meet in Nashua, NH. One of the highlights, for many, was being able to get up-close to the new 2010 SHO from Ford. Most came away very impressed and the comments on the various on-line communities sing it’s praises. The one thing that really bothers me is the engine cover. One of the major joys in the original SHO models…

With the fall season of our area Vintage racing series about to start back up I
started thinking about the term "Vintage Racing" and what it really signifies,
at least to my warped way of thinking.
The last two or three weekends saw a fairly good amount of time spent in my hot
and steamy garage working to get the 61 ready for the upcoming September race at
Texas World Speedway.
Fortunately the work required was mostly of a maintenance nature as opposed…

A somewhat pioneering technology in lighting has arrived at the scene in the form of Xenon HID lights that have given traditional Halogen lights a run for their money. Xenon lights are better in every aspect than Halogens. They are more cost and energy-efficient and last even ten times longer. Five times more light is also generated by Xenon HID lights. If the popularity of Xenon bulbs continues like this, you’ll soon find Halogen bulbs missing from automobile headlights.

I am very proud of this awesome DVD which was four years in the making beginning from the day I picked up a rusted shell to start a ground up building of a 65 GT350R for the 2007 La Carrera Panamericana. Not only was the car build documented but the entire 2007 LCP was professionally shot using state of the art in-car camera as well as from various locations along the route. This is by far the most exciting LCP video ever shot and is a must have for anyone involved with LCP or simply someone…
