This was my first race weekend with the CSRG club and I was quite impressed. Not a cheap entry, but it was held at the fantastic Sonoma Raceway, it had a Friday afternoon test day, and a terrific club dinner and social Saturday night, so it was well worth the cost. We had a large contingent of small bore sports racers in Group 4 for this event, about 25 cars, including Elvas, … [Read more...] about CSRG CHARITY CHALLENGE ’18

IN WITH THE NEW, OUT WITH THE OLD
Last weekend I delivered my Van Diemen RF93 FC to its new owner, I'm glad to say it's staying in the club. Its new owner took to it like a duck to water, posting really fast lap times within just a few sessions. She's gonna be an open wheel force to be dealt with. I also had the opportunity to test my new open wheeler for a few sessions. Testing went great, but it's going to … [Read more...] about IN WITH THE NEW, OUT WITH THE OLD
SFR SCCA LAGUNA ’18
SFR and PF2000 had a great event this weekend at WeatherTech Laguna Seca Raceway (it's gonna take me a while to get used to the new name). WeatherTech, SCRAMP, and the County seem to be playing well together for now, as track maintenance and upgrades are occurring, and there are rumors Indy cars will be coming back soon.

SFR SCCA MAJORS – THUNDERHILL ’18
We had heavy rains at the track all day on Friday which just about washed out the Test day. I didn't have any rain tires, so I just did my "sun dance" for Saturday. It worked! We had beautiful conditions for racing Sat/Sun. Big grids for the Formula car Groups as everyone is out going for points to make the Runoffs in Sonoma this year. I was racing mid-pack with the FC cars, … [Read more...] about SFR SCCA MAJORS – THUNDERHILL ’18
VARA BIG BORE BASH ’17
As my 2017 season came to a close last weekend, two facts became clearly evident to me. One, I'm a very lucky dog, and two, racing isn't cheap ;-) This year I was able to race in three vintage events and four SCCA events, that's a lot of entry fees, tires, gas, motels, etc. I spent a lot of time, energy, and yes, money prepping, traveling, and racing in 2017, and it was worth … [Read more...] about VARA BIG BORE BASH ’17
