Well, it was G Prepared, so no one really cared, lol. Plus, this type of thing only strengthened SEB's case to get rid of GP, which is finally happening. Look up all the deets, the offending car was a Honda called Fester. Out of PA I think.

Funny, in 2011 at Lincoln the class I was in the winners cheated. Painted "Hoosier " onto Goodyear tires, for contingency awards, changed tires in part fermentation and put them in bags before the 30 mins was up, then denied it all even though an SCCA official was the one calling them out. They still kept the trophy…

I was told over a year ago that it'd cost me about 40k to build a competitive SM. As to cheating, my dad raced in the late 50s and early 60s. Dr Thompson raced Alfas for a bit, and would cut the door glass down to just above the door with the window all the way up. Then he'd shave it to look like the top of the…

Tony has run out onto a hot track to point and flip off those who have wronged him. I'm in no way saying the kid's parents are blameless, nor is the kid himself. Everyone has culpability in this.

How do I post a vid to my Oppositelock page? I ask because I have video of a traffic stop and it's a great example of how to show respect and get it... I admit I was in the wrong and didn't even get a written warning.

In NY it's not always about criminal intent, etc. I feel this was the right result with the circumstances. Had no drugs been in Ward's body, it could have been involuntary vehicular manslaughter. I'm glad it's not, the NY process was followed and it worked.

As a former SF member, you can be assured we have lots of SF and CIA affiliated troops in these areas. We'd map targets, and often in the much lower tech 90s when I served, there would be much direct engagement to eliminate any other threats.

I was in that tent. My dad found Fitch as he was leaving. When not racing, my dad was a crew chief for Briggs Cunningham, usually for Denise McCluggage, but also had been one for Fitch. I kept my distance and let them catch up for a bit. When my dad came back to me he had a huge smile on his face. Someday I'll ask him…

I was a sapper after becoming a combat engineer. I spent the last 4.5 years of my enlistment in Special Forces. Lots of landmines were pulled by me all over the world. More were laid by me.

I met him in 2012. My dad started talking to him and told him how thy raced in F2 several times. Sir Stirling looked at him, thought for a second about the race they were talking about, and said "I remember you. You were the last car I lapped. You got second!"

Though I normally write about my love and life with vintage cars, look for a post from me soon about my cycling adventures in traffic. It also helps that I was a close quarters combat instructor in the Army.

Funny. Last thing in the world I am is bored driving my Triumph. It's reliable but not isolating me from the road. Far from it. I just have to worry about the comatose folks in Escalades.

Actually yes. She also confronted me about it and I told her my dog doesn't Ned to sniff her sometimes still burning but always cancerous remnants. I told her she had a choice. Stop it and be a good neighbor or get evicted when I show the office the three videos and log of what she did for 57 days straight. Not a peep…

When I was an elite road cyclist I had a few run ins with jerk driver's and passengers, but those are stories for a different day. One involved taking the keys out of the ignition and throwing them over a nearby house at an intersection.

I have made a big deal in parking lots yelling that someone dropped something while picking up their food bag etc and giving it back to them. I've also picked up cigarette butts I've seen dropped and thrown them back in the car or put them under the wiper blades. One time a woman kept doing it at my apt, so I finally…

When I vintage raced it was all about period correctness. If the car had a lap belt, good enough. Racing helmets weren't required to be full face, and balaclavas were optional. Now I won't go out in race cars without full gear and HANS.

Hairier. Damn Autocorrect.

Clarkson drove a 250F, an even faster and Harriet machine.

I was just thinking "wait for it..." and here it is. Bunny was mentioned, and presto.

I've had Miatas, SAABs, Jags, Alfas, Maserati (3500 GT), Porsche 356 and 911, Celicas, Corollas, Camrys, as well as Triumph, MG, Austin Healey and even a few American cars. For whatever reason the Triumphs are my favorite. The most recent Miata feels a bit numb. The NA and NB are much more alive in driving feel.
