A longtime crew member of mine, Art, just bought his first race car this summer, so it was my turn to crew for him. He bought a 1979 Tiga Sports 2000 from a fellow friend and competitor that was truly "race ready", a real rarity these days. The plan is to get a couple track days in prior to the next licensing school to get him familiar with the car. We spent the week prior … [Read more...] about TRACK DAY AT SONOMA

Sports Racer Challenge race #1, March 2026
This weekend the Sports Racer Challenge series was hosted by VARA at Willow Sprigs Int'l Raceway. The track changed ownership last year and the new owners are in the midst of some much needed upgrades. And I must say they are noticed and appreciated. Unfortunately the big track will be closed for the 2027 season, but we certainly look forward to its repaving (and hopefully they … [Read more...] about Sports Racer Challenge race #1, March 2026
