The garage hasn't been too bad, but winter is coming.

Wow, that's a bigass parking lot.

And a seriously quick car. I may have to ditch my A Mod plans...

These things are a blast. F1 sounds, Can Am looks and near shifter cart reflexes. Had mine for almost three years and have had a blast developing it and running Solo with it. There will be 12 sports racers at Nationals this year. Stop by and see us.

I will certainly do so or at least stop by your paddock areas on Wednesday so we're not disturbing you when you're busy.

I found a DSR/BMod car for sale at a reasonable price here in FL. I'm going to go look at it after returning from Topeka to see what my money will buy for that kinda change.

Awesome!

If that falls through, there's a local guy that has one. He bought it from another local, multi-time national champion Tom Bootz, a few years ago and might be able to be talked out of it. Here it is in action.

Nice!!

Looks like those test-drives in the Berzerkley got you hooked, huh?

16vCorey - I saw him run that car at the Rantoul, IL divisional last year. He took FTD, IIRC. Blazingly fast & sounded awesome!

That is actually Bob Sontag's car. He was gridded next to me at Nationals this year and I think he finished 9th. That is not a motorcycle powered car, he runs a Mazda rotary through a Hewland gearbox.

Finding your dad's old car- now that's just plain cool! Did the deal go through? What kind of engine is in it?

Some pics of the B Mod grid at Nationals. Winning car was the yellow/orange Dragon of Tommy Saunders.

Yeah, we do alright, too bad it's full of Centerpoint Energy and FEMA trucks at the moment. We had to scramble to find an alternative for next weekend's autox.

The guys (father and son) driving that LeGrand just got it recently, still in the learning phase, but doing well.

--- in Houston, still with no power.

I am on a Formula SAE team right now and I can't help but think how cool a FSAE car would be without the 20mm restrictor. The only thing is you want to be careful about buying one because they are built by students.

I bet your next sexual experience is in a Mk18 LeGrand. Wait, no backseat. Nevermind.

Vern is still running FMOD. I talked with him briefly @ nationals. He's living in Tennessee now.

Yep, he bought it from Tom Bootz. I watched over Bob's house when we went on vacation, so I could sit in it in his garage and make VROOOM sounds. Actually I just mowed his lawn, but I could have done that if I wanted to.
