A friend of mine, known on YouTube as oldSCCAguy, digs through his old VHS copies of races and loads them to the internet for posterity and for the pleasure of the motorsport enthusiast community. It is a thankless job, but these videos are absolutely gold. Not having grown up in a house that appreciated cars,…

Rolex 24 at Daytona: (More Than) Halfway Home
/

comments
Well, it’s happened again. Every year at the 24, I tell myself that I’m going to stay awake for the entire 24 hours. Every year, I fail to make that happen. This year, I knew I’d be up against the wall, though, as my recent move out west necessitated a visit to the Department of…

Rolex 24 at Daytona: 6 Hours In, 18 To Go

I have been to the Daytona 24 hour race three times, and each time was a phenomenal experience. This year, however, I’m watching from my armchair, and while the sights and sounds are a little muted, and I won’t have the photographs to add to my archives, this is still quite a nice experience. I’ve…

The Lost Art Of Camping With Sports Cars
/
/
comments
Camping is minimalist living. You forego some of life’s amenities and push yourself to have fun. You willfully put yourself into a somewhat uncomfortable situation in order to have an enjoyable and memorable time. It’s an opportunity to share an experience with old friends, or perhaps make a few new ones. It’s often considered ‘hardcore’…

V.I.S.I.T. – Lemon Yellow Vee Type-3
/
/
comments
Empi multispoke wheels, a wood-slat roof rack, ride height augmentation, and a garish paint job (and do I spy an “over-the-top” header/muffler exhaust?); does it really get any better than that? This is how Nevada does Cali-style, apparently. Whether “correct” or not, I don’t seem to mind, as this car looks like a great cruiser to…

Weekend V.I.S.I.T. – A Power Suit Porsche 959
/
/
comments
The 959 has long been a loony-hoony favorite of mine, being the pinnacle of 1980’s automotive engineering. Where the F40 attacked the 200 mile per hour barrier with pure power and light weight, the 959 used brains over brawn. The F40 is a pair of Usain Bolt’s Puma track spikes, and the 959 is a…

Craigslist: Porsche 968 Rotary Swap Is The Worst Of Both Worlds

comments
There has been a number of Porsche builds in recent years that have been the recipient of engines from other manufacturers. From American V8s in everything from 914s to 996s, to that perverse Toyota 1NZ-FE swapped 1975 911 that was floating around a while back, it seems that people have started shoving less expensive mechanicals…
