    Vintage racing I restored a 1964 Elva MK7S and have been working hard to get the car to handle. Every race I am making suspension adjustments and I am seeing progress. Plus I need seat time as these old sport racers can bite you quickly. The car is made from a small diameter tube chassis...

    2005 White with Blue Stripes

    These cars are terrific and I enjoyed owning and driving this race car for the road. Hell, I loved just looking at it.

    Lime Rock Test and Tune Day

    Love that sound! Looks like the car doesn't like coming out of Big Bend. Was there fluid on the track? If not, I would ask the race prep shop to watch the video, might need some suspension adjustments.

    Custom Motorcycle

    Thanks, that is interesting. I never did dyno the bike, but it pulls hard from a stop as the bike is light. I also have a bike that was a special build commemorating Harleys 100th anniversary and S&S 45th anniversary. The two companies contracted with 4 well known custom bike builders to design...

    Custom Motorcycle

    There is front suspension. The top part of the forks is one piece aluminum and the down tubes have springs and the lower part of the fork rides up into the one piece fork. The rear has an air suspension. The front forks are from Goldammer in Canada. I then powder coated them black.

    Custom Motorcycle

    I had a custom motorcycle built in 2003 and I just don't ride it anymore. It is the coolest bike to ride and stands out from any other bike when you stop at a bar or go to a bike show. I took it to Bike Week in 2004 and even though there were about 100,000 bikes on the road and radical bikes at...

    Racing Simulator recommendations?

    I bought the Logitech G27 and a race seat with pedal platform and it is great fun. I use it to drive tracks that I have not visited yet, but will race in vintage racing clubs. Like LimeRock. Watkins Glen, etc. Drive the track and get to know the layout so when you show up for the weekend races...
