We apparently raced the San Felipe 250 after all
Apparently a shot of us tearing it up at last weekend’s San Felipe 250.
Bob worked overnight and through this morning, reporting at 1 p.m. today that he had disassembled, replaced a seized main engine bearing, reassembled and tested the engine. We will be ready to race come Saturday and Sunday.
El Jeffo, who [...]

The magic’s gone
I’m sure this will make sense as it relates to 1107 at some point.
Crusty came by the office and dropped off “Prepare to Win” (new copies go for $600) and “Tune to Win” ($14.95 new), by Carroll Smith, both published in the late 70s.

Scenes from Battle at Primm
Shot of Jason Mace (1169) doing visualization exercises in advance of his very first race at Battle at Primm.

We’ve switched from SNORE to VORRA (our first [...]
