Before I found my 2025 Supra (photo below), I test drove a Corolla GR. I like smaller cars with smaller engines that like high rpm usage. I've owned 4 Toyota MR2's in my time, 2 of them became SCCA race cars (see photo). All that said, I don't care if they call it an MR2 or a Celica, as long as...

The reason you don't understand why Oscar listened and did what he did says a lot about the kind of person you are. Sad to say...:mad: OK, now go ahead and rip me up and prove my point...

I agree! I'd like to see Alex do just an FP1 for McLaren. At least we'd have a benchmark.

Anybody have any thoughts they would like to share about Colton Herta going from IndyCar to Cadillac F1 test driver and F2 competitor? Personally, I don't think he has been doing very well in IndyCar the last couple of years. Being the Cadillac test driver is no big deal. Any good driver could...

I think Lewis would be smart to hang up his driver's suit at the end of the year, just to get out whiles he is still viewed in a positive light and with his legacy in tact. Even I seriously doubt this idea, but maybe like Kimi Raikkonen, he just enjoys the life style and the competition, so he...

As happens almost every Sunday that the F1 race is in the morning, my wife makes us a great breakfast so we can have breakfast while we watch the F1 race. One year she even made them as related to the country they were racing in. Some of those were kind of strange meals and some contained...

The cup holder filler and the padded cover my wife made that wraps over the console in that area. Super comfortable for my elbow!

My 2025 Supra MT works exactly the same set up. I've never had any issues.

So, are we all ready for the F1 season to get restarted? Any thoughts about Bottas and Chico getting signed by Cadillac? I think most of us saw that coming anyway.

Given that you are driving a convertible, and have some concerns, or at least enough that you are considering other safety gear, I'd be considering a roll cage. I drove my old Miata retractable hardtop on track days with out a roll cage because the SCCA let me. But I never pushed the car or...

I flew small planes for 4 years before I started racing in the SCCA. As a pilot, you have to be on top of a number of issues. But nothing focuses your mind like racing. And it's one thing to focus on driving fast when you are behind somebody, but then add in the need to think about how to get...

I didn't use to... but I do now! Thanks.

I gave mine a thorough washing and installed the set of wheel spacers I got from another owner here. Now I have a question. The bottom of the back window seems to be a place that collects water. The gap between the glass and the body is like 3/16th of an inch. Is everybody's that way? Anybody...

That's the thing about racing. I did it for 15 years and I was a participant at 2 races where a driver was killed (1 was a friend and the other an acquaintance) and 3 others where drivers were seriously injured. One was a good friend who had his feet crushed when his Formula Ford went through an...

I saw the V12s run when Mario Andretti won the US Grand Prix at Watkins Glen back in 1972. I wish I could say I remember it well, but I was 22 at the time and I was with a group of friends doing a road trip from Detroit and there was a lot of mood altering substances being used!

I'll be doing VIR soon enough (next Spring). I was there as a photographer for the SCCA Runoffs a few years back. I raced Road America a lot back in the 80's and 90's. It used to be my favorite track until I got to Barber. The elevation change is great, the Carousel is a blast, Canada Corner...

I really like the vented front fender. The part behind the wheel arch, not the one on top. Where did you get it?

I just got a few shots from my track day at Barber Motorsports Park. I had a ball (2nd time there). Next up Daytona in September.

Sounds like me and Sebring... sort of. I go there to watch the 12 Hour and the January SCCA race weekend. I even go do a track day there ever so often. But it's far from my favorite track. It's flat, it's bumpy and it has lots of different surfaces... oh, and some concrete walls. But then it...

I raced Nelson Ledges in a number of different cars... in fact, I think I did it at least once or twice in every different race car I owned. It's a fun track and it has (or had, I haven't been there in 30 years) lots of run off everywhere. But virtually no elevation change. If I had to pick an...
