The Best Road of the Year

December 28, 2008

Maybe call it a combination of roads rather than a single road. Perhaps even an entire region. When planning the route to Lime Rock Park from Ontario this summer, I wanted to cover ground as quickly as possible and then hit the twisties south of I90. The capture above gives some idea of the route [...]

Gallery: Around pit lane at Lime Rock

July 19, 2008

Some photographers love nothing better than to stand trackside and grab thousands of shots. Personally, pit lane is like candy for the budding shooter in me. There really is no other spot that has the same energy and so many incredible photo possibilities. I could literally spend an entire day toting the camera around the [...]

Frank unleashed: A Bullitt through New England

July 15, 2008

Some time ago, Jil McIntosh wrote a piece about auto writers who forget that they are (or should be) writing for real people, not just zillionaires. You know the guys, they are the ones who write that a 2 seater that sells for a hundred grand is a value priced sports car. While I can’t [...]

Gallery: ALMS on track at 2008 Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock

July 14, 2008

I really need to get a digital slr, as my manual focus skills with the FZ-8 are seriously lacking. Of a few hundred on track shots, there are only a few that I’m happy to share. Not to worry though, these few should keep everyone happy until the Girls of Lime Rock set appears!
Oh yes, [...]

Dude….yer feet are stank!

July 11, 2008

This uttered by my co-piloto after we switched seats and I removed my sandals after becoming co-piloto.
Oh well, perhaps I should scrub down the summer footwear on occasion.
The drive was uneventful other than some fun roads once we left New York State. Wait a minute, who am I trying to kid? The designated co-piloto [...]

Road trippin’ in Frank

July 10, 2008

Frank as in Detective Frank Bullitt. The Garage is heading south for Connecticut early tomorrow morning. Destination: Lime Rock Park to cover the American Le Mans Series event. If we make it the whole way with our licenses intact, it will be a miracle.
In fact, I had been behind the wheel a grand total [...]

IMPA Test Days: An overview

September 8, 2007

So where to begin? For me, one of the newfound joys of being an official member of the motoring press is being included in annual test days. At it’s core, the concept is that it give writers an opportunity to compare many vehicles back to back under controlled conditions. In reality though, my first visit [...]

Open lapping day at Lime Rock

June 29, 2006

Here’s one for all you Lotus Elise fans. Those lucky guys over at Axis of Oversteer recently spent the day at Lime Rock Park at an open lapping day. As always, they have some stunning pics of some really cool machinery. It always amazes me how many people there are with a ton of money [...]
