Photos and Guest Post By: Mike Miessler I Wasn’t Ready for the Amelia Island Concours D’elegance Since starting my personal blog a couple months ago I told myself that I’d use it to help me check off some items from my personal bucket list. I do admit that going to Amelia Island to cover the concourse […]

In this week’s installment of the Human Element, we will be discussing the allure of the V8 engine despite the fact that there are more efficient and practical applications out there. Because after all, no one ever reminisces about that time they had a mediocre driving experience. There are three key elements that set the […]

It has to be done. To leave works of art like this tucked away in some forgotten corner of some dusty garage would, indeed, be a crime. To not let the vintage power plant, with sometimes appropriately vintage driver, out onto the track where it can sing as it was intended could certainly be considered […]
Of course the on track action at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion was fantastic. Everything you want to see in a race weekend; close action, lots of position changes and rare, if any incidents resulting in damage to these fine and historically significant automobiles.

This series features some of the most technologically advanced sportscars and prototypes on track. Now, take a […]
Beautiful is a subjective term. One person’s beauty is another’s abhorrent mess. Yet I don’t think you’ll find too many who suggest Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit is anything other than gorgeous.

Then I went and looked at what the readings from this Sunday would be as far as Catholics are concerned. My beautiful wife is Catholic, if you’re […]

There is a common theme in society that the biggest and baddest make the most noise. Yet without the work of sometimes hundreds of ‘smaller’ people behind the scenes, there would be no noise. The big event would not happen. And such is the case with V8 Supercars. While the main races are rightly the […]
What’s the worst thing that could possibly happen to one of these vintage race cars? Most of you would probably say something along the lines of “wreck it”, or “wall touch” or even “burn it to the ground”. These are all terrible things, for sure; but not the worst thing. If you follow, or have […]
My buddy, Paul Dallenbach, was testing on Sunday at Road Atlanta. Here is what he had to say: Greg, This was practice for the Walter Mitty Race in Road Atlanta. I am driving a 07 Lola ALMS car. This was the first time Robinson Racing had the car at an event. The car last raced […]
