Thought you all would appreciate the following from a friend of mine who shall remain nameless. He's getting ready for a local hillclimb. Hi, Well we got it running again. It required a lot of work.

As one who often races in the pre-war class, I can tell you that the Trike pilots (riders ?) are to a man more aware of what's going on and have better track sense than many others I could name. It's

Legend has it that the winning D type was broken up after the race and the parts scattered among various other cars etc. Recently the car surfaced at Lime Rock having been reassembled by someone. I k

I agree 100% with Mark. My first sports car was a '57 Alfa which had an all-syncro gear box. No double clutching required, at least on the street and I never ran it in any type of competition. That g

The LRP lap time for the preservation class is 1:20. In theory you aren't supposed to be quicker and if youi are you get 'bumped'. In practice I get the feeling it sort of depends on who's holding th

I think anyone who has seen John flying down the track and heard that Chey wound tight, would agree that 'reasonably competitive' takes on a whole new meaning. Marvelous sight and sound!
