Hi Stephen, thanks to invite me to join this wonderful community. Before anything, just one little question: how do you knew that I have interest in vintage cars? Right now I'm working on a exhaustive research about the origins of the Venezuelan motor racing history and in the near future, if the things going well, I will prepare my first book about the races in Venezuela during late 40's and beyond.

Receive my best regards, sorry for my poor English

Octano (similar as Octavio, but more involved in racing...)

Thank you Stephen. It was a surprise and a delight meeting you last week. Thank you for the opportunity to work with you on this project. We are currently doing the team forming activities. As you can tell, I am as green as it gets when it comes to vintage cars. I will get in touch with you at the earliest once we transform the group into a team and have a basic plan.

Wet wet then it rained. Friday and Saturday were both very wet, Sunday was spotty with some dry mixed with rain. Hardly any sun. I have loaded a few images from the weekend and hope to get some of the GT cars loaded today.

Thank you so much, Stephen! Our group is excited and ready to get busy!

I see there's a race this Sunday in Fort Worth for the Central region, it looks like. Will you be there? I actually live in Fort Worth and I'm thinking about attending the race to learn more about the events. Let me know if I should look for you!

Hey Steve, I love the site, and will update my profile shortly, but it would seem the site has already been invaded by the track-tarts. I got an invite from a "Timika Morin" on my page and with one click, saw it was a web-cam invite, and she'd sent it to about 25 members of the site. I mean...if she'd just sent it to ME....I guess she made feel kinda cheap that's all....(It's hard to be funny in print.)

Who are these people? I just received this comment: "Julie Hollis said…

I don't know her & it seems she sent the same comment to just about everyone on the VRL.

Stephen,
As I mentioned, my father was a racing fanatic from the 50's through his passing and was also an avid phototgrapher. I've been sorting through thousands of images and I've hired a company to upload some of them, many of which are of the cars I see on this site (these are actual vintage photos of the actual races... not contemporary photos of vintage races taken recently).

The site will rely on people adding information about each of the cars so that they come up on searches, and I will eventually like to invite your members to check it out and maybe add their knowledge to the data-base. (Like a Wikipedia of sorts) The images will be available for sale, but at a modest price, as this isn't really a commercial venture for me -- just a way to honor my dad.

If you are interested, check out the first round of scanned images at this link and let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Bill

Bill Doyle

Great! Thank you. As soon as we upload the majority and the site has a link set up so people can browse and input their knowledge, I'll shoot over some sample images and expaination for member to play with it.

It is really fun to look through these as I love the fact that I know my dad was at each of these races and I am seeing his hobby through his eyes. I was going to all of the Can-Am races at Bridgehampton since I was one.. and I remember my dad shooting pictures for what seemed like an eternity. Now I'm glad he did!

Lots more to come!

Hi Stephen,
A really great site that you have here! I plan to try to do more things with my profile and make some new friends. Do me a favor and checkout CarProperty.com ... It is a media business that I started and it is catching on amongst car collectors all over the world. I hope your friends find out about it to. See you later ... and thanks again!

Hi Stephen I should have time this weekend to add pics. What livery did your car originally have and or which version of the DN8 was your car or that your restoring it to as they seemed to be updated over a 4+ year period with different bodywork, among other things, updates. I always liked the 1A with stepped radiators from 1976 although it was not the most successful style. Gary Kildall had one, it was one of the first in private hands he lived down the way from Don. He was mysteriously killed in a bar about 4 years ago. He was an interesting guy and he gave me a sort of biography of his car. I saw one sell not long after he passed and figured it was the one he owned. Have some pictures of it from the Palm Springs GP back in the early 80's then met him at Monterey in the early 90's where he had it on display but did not race it. Have met Don many times as well as his daughter Penny. Being in printing I got a card from him the first time I met him at the W.G. Can Am reunion in early 90's they we so bad I made up some artwork and made him some new ones and mailed them to him, I talk to him at the races when I see him.
Well glad to hear you are restoring one of the cars I have collected many pics on the net and from my own shooting so I can get you pics of your model if i know which one it is. My friend Phill Schmit had one as well a 79 car that was put together from parts and was supposedly a backup car or an in-completed chassis in waiting but never raced back in the day but he sold it about 1 1/2 ago to Fred who owns about 4 different Shadow cars now. Well could go on and on so let me stop here. Here is my reg. email if you need it m7buck55@earthlink.net and I will be at Wine Co. and am shooting on track if you have another car your racin let me know and i'll get some shots.
Thanks Mike

Interesting that this page should open with a photo of my father's old Bugatti Type 57S before coming to this comment page? I am a member of three Morgan groups and one Riley group. I am not aware of any others? If you go to the VSCCA site you will see many pictures of my cars plus many more glamorous race cars.

Hi there Stephen, thank you for your welcome, I was at sandown raceway since Friday helping friends instead of being helped for once and had a ball not spending my money....... It was one of those odd weekends, so many big crashers in most categories, they say about 2mill worth of damage throughout the meeting. And I got busted speeding on the way home (naughty lad). I will post some photos of my cars soon. Once again thank for the welcome, talk soon,
Regards, mark.
