Pardon the website sabbatical, but I return bearing gifts. Reference new photo gallery link, and videos from Pocono
(Finally).
In the mean time, 3-Zero crossed figurative swords again at a regional autocross, and I discovered what
has probably been causing all of my thermal issues with the MR2.
I've made a few updates to the Calendar, and I am fi'n to add some stuff to the store.
Talladega Night (well, morning & early-afternoon really)
Talladega
Grand Prix Raceway is located just a bit south of Anniston and Oxford Alabama, in the middle of some farm country. It
was built with motorcycles in mind so there is very little to run into if you leave the track (a fact to which TJ can attest).
This makes it a perfect learning environment for folks on track for the first time and/or learning a new car (as in my case). The
staff is very friendly and accomodating, and the facility although small, is well kept.
We were visiting
as part of a small lapping day organized by a member of the Chattanooga Region SCCA. There were a maximum of 5
cars per run-group which resulted in plenty of elbow room on track. It was by-and-large a pretty relaxed day at the
track in spite of the typically humid deep-south weather, and a few thunder showers.
Crap, I've done it
again! A hopelessly ambitious title up to which the short paragraph to follow has no chance of living. Oh well.
Pocono this year entertained for a number of reasons not least of which were the cars present. My shutter snapped
at some of the rarest Ferraris in existance, some of the fastest Alfa Romeos in the world, the newest offerings
from Lamborghini and Aston Martin, not to meantion the dearth of slightly less rarified, but no less arresting rolling
sculptures. I operated a bit of a ramshackle blog (click here), in between showfield and track days over the weekend. Honestly, half the fun of attenting such events come from sharing
the experience.

Now, for those of you who have wondered what an FXX sounds like at full song, and not in a video game:
CMP, slightly warmer:
Much to my relief, I
arrived on friday to something other than a blizzard this time. A semi-frustrating, but over-all fun weekend ensued.
The
history lesson continues. I probably shouldn't have said that because it sounds educational, causing many of you
to lose interest immediately. Seriously, watch them, it'll be good for you.
