The 2019 Amelia Island Concours
My annual trip to the Amelia Island Concours had some new experiences. As my 1957 Carrera Speedster was invited to participate on the Sunday concours field, my event schedule was quite different this year.
The 20th Petit LeMans at Road Atlanta
This year Road Atlanta celebrated the 20th Petit Le Mans at its 2.54 mile, 11-turn track. The weather was fan-tastic with 77° for the high and 55° for the low. Thankfully the rain from the hurricane that caused me to miss the Thursday night practice due to my flight arriving late into Atlanta stopped later that night.
Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park
The weather at Lime Rock Park cooperated this year, sunny but not extremely hot with temperatures only reaching the 80’s versus the high 90’s of last year. Lime Rock is the second of two Northeast races, Watkins Glen the other, bookending the Mobil1 Grand Prix at Bowmanville, Canada and the 24 hours of Le Mans.
On The Road – Sebring 2019
On my drive to the Sebring race I realize two things, one the highway speed limit is the same temperature-65, a great feeling. Secondly “NO POT HOLES!”, another great feeling. Maybe I am just easy to please this March.
You Don’t Know How to Drive Your Car
The title of this article probably caught you off guard so let me start by admitting I shouldn’t have said “you don’t know how to drive your car.”
On The Road – Sebring 2018
Porsche celebrates it’s 50th year anniversary since Vic Elford, Jochen Neerpasch, Rolf Stommelen, Jo Siffert and Hans Herrmann drove the Porsche 907 Long Tail, claiming the first victory for Porsche at this event in 1968.
Volunteering at the Sebring PCA Club Race
To World War II history followers it was a major training base (Hendricks Field) for B-17 and B-24 combat crews until 1945. To many sports car fans it conjures up a racetrack steeped in the annals of sports car competition since the 1950s. To Porsche buffs the PCA Club Race season has been launched at Sebring since 1994.
