I was also a bit dismayed at the repeated crash coverage. It seemed that's their idea of what racing action is. I did see several incidents that made me think VARA is grouping cars that really should

What "struck" me, (pardon the pun), was the extremely poor layout that seems typical of many of these concrete barricaded temporary street tracks. Granted, this opinion is only based on a television

The Vette and Lotus 23 were on the track together as part of the USRRC race, which features Over and Under 2.0 litre sports racers, and Over and Under 2.0 litre GT cars. This was the way this formula

I quite agree. That Turn 1 at Palm Springs looked viciously tight. Having "tested" the ample runoff areas at Thunder Hill, I would also be reluctant to run a rare car on a street track like Palm Spri

Ely, You addressed comments to Myles, but my name ended up in the To: line. What was that about red mist? ;=) I accept Myles explanation that the Lotus-Vette shunt was in a USRRC recreation that woul

I concur with Team Thicko...I prefer tracks with sufficient runoff. An interesting note on street courses. This season I happened to talk to a fellow who recently raced in the IMSA pro sedan series w

I was amazed to see these vintage racers on a temporary street course! That is the STUPIDEST thing I've ever seen. These concrete canyons are notorious for damaging equipment. I love watching races

Somebody once said about Can-Am cars, "You step on the gas and shit happens." Somebody else said, "At one time these cars were capable of killing the finest drivers in the world, and today they are b

In 1968, I did development work on a McKee with a 333ci Traco Chevy small block. 1450 pounds and 500+ HP. We ran it with a 160mph gear set and estimated 4 sec to 100 (2nd - 3 rd shift). In fact I re

[stuff deleted...] Unfortunately, the Lotus 9 crash _did_ make it to the "Thrills and Spills" show which was aired a week or so prior to the Palm Springs coverage. When I saw the initial footage I wa
