Profile Information:

About Me:: Chief of Grid for CVAR, Corinthian Vintage Auto Racing.
Grid for PCA Lone Star and Hill Country regions.
I have (finally!) purchased my first old car, and I'm working on "paintin' and patchin'" it. I'd say it is my first restoration, but I'm not sure the work I do is yet of a good enough quality for that title.
This car will not be a racer, but maybe a pace car on occasion.
Pictures to come...
What car(s) do you own?: Mazda MX-5 2008 GT w 6 speed, and now...
Sven, the 1974 Saab Sonett III. The body (all fiber glass) is good but needs paint, the chassis is one big tub of rust. 58,000 original miles. 4 speed Ford Taunus V4 engine, 1698cc.
He actually purrs when he runs!
Lot's of work and learning ahead for me.
What do you like to do (e.g. vintage race with...)?: I work grid, and try to make sure everybody plays safe and has fun!
What clubs do you belong to?: CVAR, Vintage SAAB club.
What would you like to do (e.g. go to race school; get into Vintage Racing)?: Every event I learn something new about cars.
Now I'm learning more while in the shop working on my old car.
