Home computer's been down because I'm remodeling my office -<br />but with the new storage space and the larger work area, I'll be able to work on my<br />photo projects a lot more efficiently and quickly (yeah, right...). Some construction<br />projects this weekend - a new floor for a neighbor and cabinets in Joan's office.<br />Caught the new Indiana Jones movie earlier this week, and while I'm not as negative<br /> on it as my friend Marty ( http://renzntzman.blogspot.com/ ), I thought it was a little<br />too long and a little on the weak side.

But that's a rant for another time).<br /><br />I look at a lot of cars as rolling sculpture - a moving testament to the metal<br />workers art (or fiberglass and composite as the case may be). As somebody<br />who likes to think of himself as a fabricator - not great, but better than serviceable,<br />cars like this really just blow me away.... And to leave it in the polished aluminum.<br />You can hide a lot of flaws with paint, but a polished body shows ALL flaws.<br /><br />This is a replica, built by Bob Petersen (http://www.bobpetersenengineering.co.uk/peterson6supercharged.htm).<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span></span>Vintage Racerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00994418553446003693noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354912729384482070.post-73463706182272995082008-05-22T08:39:00.000-07:002008-05-22T14:04:07.684-07:00A race fans favorite weekend...<span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">As a racing fan, this is probably my favorite weekend of the year. And<br />with a big screen, a<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"> DVR</span>, and a REALLY understanding wife, I'll get<br />to watch even more of it (it's gonna be hard to top last year - I watched<br />the Monaco GP while standing in one of the garages at Indianapolis - with<br />some ex-Williams team guys).<br /><br />Friday there's the Indy Lights - a family friend owns <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">AFS</span> Racing and has<br />2 cars in the Freedom 100. Saturday there's the Craftsman Trucks and the<br />Nationwide cars, Sunday is the Monaco F1 race, Indy, and<br />World 600 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Nascar</span> race, and the Rolex GT guys from Lime Rock on Monday.<br /><br />Maybe Indy and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Nascar</span> will figure out a way to time the starts so that<br />somebody can try the double again-makes sense from a TV standpoint if<br />nothing else.

Fast forward to the past weekend, it was almost 100 deg at the track on Saturday, and 75-80 on Sunday. Needless to say, the hot weather and a greasy surface made everybody 2-3 seconds slower. So, here’s some shots of the car going back together, and the racing from the weekend. They did something a little different and ran a race group that was reminiscent of the Under 2 litre Trans Am from 66-69. We qualified top 10 on Saturday morning. Ran 6th in the first race on Saturday, won the 2nd race Sunday morning, and finished 6th on Sunday afternoon. All in all, a good weekend. And we've got the new tires dialed in for the Historic races over the 4th of July.</span></span>Vintage Racerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00994418553446003693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354912729384482070.post-13013558993989472592008-05-14T13:50:00.000-07:002008-05-14T13:55:38.575-07:00Nostalgia....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL1dpdOvJ4T56vDCh5t_ubnTntPl5BAthJqhkQXn_ULUe0VN7w7C0GasoHU88jxif7QDMFBSyIHowKk1eE4D8vzReLHWzk9fYPcQ9V_F8vuwflZngwkG37UCgOgAVqIv-9RNJw8xo7Xyw/s1600-h/89+Bronco.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL1dpdOvJ4T56vDCh5t_ubnTntPl5BAthJqhkQXn_ULUe0VN7w7C0GasoHU88jxif7QDMFBSyIHowKk1eE4D8vzReLHWzk9fYPcQ9V_F8vuwflZngwkG37UCgOgAVqIv-9RNJw8xo7Xyw/s320/89+Bronco.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200339945712512594" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Found this in one of my photo archives.... built it from bits and<br />pieces salvaged from various junkyards...

My old one was built at the end of the last century!!). Got that<br />solved, and been busy with getting the race car torn down and the rebuild<br />started. Here's the race recap I was going to post last Tuesday.....<br /><br />Saturday was a mix of rain, sleet, snow, wrong tire choice, and too much<br />throttle in the wrong place.... But with the liberal application of a dead blow<br />hammer and a lot of duct tape, we were back out on track after missing our<br />qualifying session. From a distance, you couldn't even tell there was any<br />damage, but I've got a couple of weeks of sheet metal work and paint ahead.<br />Fortunately, the suspension survived intact. We even ran the fastest laps<br />of our race group on Sunday afternoon. We'll get it all back together between<br />now and mid-May for the Under 2 litre Trans Am Revival race the weekend<br />of the 17th.<br /></span></span></span>Vintage Racerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00994418553446003693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354912729384482070.post-80560276521509853432008-04-22T14:03:00.000-07:002008-04-30T13:09:19.735-07:00Another busy day....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBQbkrwfxJ4MWRoUjhNEOmFSNb-swPJEBOyJxReKg82cG-hwQpi-FJ7zQztMzMAeLlrC3YBJeMEpY3Pv38Teaqd-9ss4JefctchA1lQP-nxAycYBqznnPQWXMAHN-sXVmmWK9AyghkkDY/s1600-h/Rt+66+church+Feb+2004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBQbkrwfxJ4MWRoUjhNEOmFSNb-swPJEBOyJxReKg82cG-hwQpi-FJ7zQztMzMAeLlrC3YBJeMEpY3Pv38Teaqd-9ss4JefctchA1lQP-nxAycYBqznnPQWXMAHN-sXVmmWK9AyghkkDY/s320/Rt+66+church+Feb+2004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192182551923462562" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Not too much time to post today.... actually having to do some work!<br />I'll post some pics from our first race weekend later tonight - it was<br />a wild weekend at the track.<br /><br />For now....
