Who needs an STi BRZ/FR-S when you can have one with a 2JZ motor out of a Supra? Why? Because stupid horsepower.

I have had the pleasure of meeting P51 pilots and aces over the years. In 1976, I did a major paper for a history degree that I was working on and it was on how the P51 changed the course of the War in Europe. I had to do an immense amount of research including archives of newspaper articles, books written on the…

I remember seeing this and felt the frustration that the team was having with the wheel nut. Endurance Racing can be so cruel. Look at what happened to the GTD Viper that took the lead when Mario Fahrnbacher's 911 went off course. It looked like a sure win, but the cruelty of Sebring dealt a blow to its hopes of…

C'mon Tyler, you have no idea what you are doing to me. Máté Petrány just did a couple of articles on a Lola T70 Mk IIIB Coupe and a Lola T70 roadster. Now you do an article about a P51 Mustang, my all time favorite airplane and one I have been in love with since I was a boy in the 1950s. There simply is no other…

Amazing. For every poison, there seems to be an antidote and in this case, the Sea Hunter seems to be a super option to monitor and destroy if necessary, Russian and Chinese subs. Given how fast changing the world is and how potentially lethal it is becoming, it would seem that the Navy needs to totally revamp how it…

Well, this is almost like the chicken or the egg conundrum, which happened first? As an analogy, if a loaded gun is sitting on a table and a stranger walks in an picks it up and kills someone, is the problem with the gun or with the stranger? For me, the burden falls on the truck driver who plowed into the JGC going…

Yes, I would imagine that motorcycle track days would definitely help with smooth throttle and input applications. Still, drifting a 4,400 pound car with 707 hp seems kind of far removed from a motorcycle. I grew up when Mark Donohue demonstrated the art of the friction circle. Drifting is so diametrically opposed to…

Awesome, thanks for sharing. I shed a tear when both Riverside and Bridgehampton, both original Can Am circuits, went by the wayside for development or golf courses. Group 7 was Formula Libre, run what you brung. Basically, it was the impetus for cars like the Chaparral 2E and 2G with high mounted, adjustable wings,…

Stevenson Motorsport did a newer Camaro in Sunoco Blue as a tribute to Mark Donohue.

I believe they were Lola’s own design. Certainly not Cromodoras.

Well, if you have to go [from the military that is], what a way to go.

This is great news. I like her [much better than Dramatica] and hope she does well at Indy this year. Kudos to Andretti Autosport for giving her this chance. And I too dig the livery of the car she will driving.

Rhys Millen, Ken Block. These guys know how to live. I just wish I had even 1/10 the driving skill of either one of them. Both have hooned Hellcats now. For me, I need “Murican Muscle. Big, loud and fast if you get my “drift”.

Yup. You can see why the Penske/Donohue cars were the envy of other racers due to their immaculate preparation and why almost all people my age swooned over anything painted Sunoco Blue.

Dodge offered a Hemi in the lightweight Dart. These were factory hot rods that could run 10s in the quarter mile. Back in 1968, there was an African American gentleman who owned a black, Hemi Dart. I saw him pull the most beautiful wheelstand once. He ran in factory Super Stock at the local drag strip, which…

McLaren Mk 1B as raced in 1966. Before Bruce McLaren went with Papaya Orange for his Group & Can Am cars and F1 cars as well as Indy cars.

Mate, stop. You had a video on a Lola T70 MkIIIB Coupe. Now a T70 roadster. I was a teenager during the Can Am era in the 1960s, so any cars from this period immediately get my attention. This Lola is painted in the colors of John Surtees’ Lola which won the Can Am championship in 1966. I am glad that I got to see…

Is it just me or does anyone else feel that 100% of the culpability lies with the truck driver who rear ended the JGC?

Denis Hulme did a back flip similar to this in 1972 at Road Atlanta in his McLaren Mk 20 Can Am car. It happened after turn 7 and miraculously, he survived. Or, anyone remember the Mercedes CLR that had a horrific backflip?

Holy conflict of interest Batman!
