I got to race the Van Diemen at Laguna Seca last weekend with Pacific F2000 and SFR SCCA. Good weather, good friends, good racing, that's what it's all about!

HIGH DESERT CHALLENGE ’17
VARA and SVRA co-hosted a great event at Willow Spring Raceway this weekend. We had 150 vintage car entries running in 7 Groups, and the Trans-Am West pro series ran with us as well. Good fun to see the giant tractor-trailers and pit carts these pro teams use. The weather cooperated with sunny skies, temps in the 50s-60s, and the usual spring winds. I'm glad to report that … [Read more...] about HIGH DESERT CHALLENGE ’17
