Thank you Stephen. You have a great site! Lots of very interesting resources.
The Thunderbird is owned by someone else. He isn't a racer. He had me drive his car for the 2003 VARA season. We did very well considering it should have been running against solid axle Corvetes, etc. but we were in with Stingrays, GT350s and Cobras. Tenth overall at VARA's Big Bore Bash that year. I also had a great duel with ex-Cobra factory driver Allen Grant in Portland. He was driving a very nice 289 Cobra. I'll post a picture.

Best,

Rod

Thanks for the reply Steve.
The PPIHC has banned me from posting any photographs on the internet or selling anything for a profit. A year before the 2009 race I inquired as to racing in the race and after finding out some info. I told them I would come this year to the race. I was at the 1st hairpin after the paved road and the shots I got were great. Many drivers that I showed the pictures wanted to buy them. Now the problem!!! The PPIHC thinks I was coming in the backdoor to see photos for profit so I am on hold as to selling of any photos.
I have even made a 40 page book about the race (unofficial of course). If any of the drivers are interested in them I can send a small file but because I work with a photo lab that prints on a special paper I want to keep that control. The prints I have made on this paper makes the gravel area look like the cars are running on GOLD.
I am still in the process of refining my Jeep for Pike's Peak and would run the Vintage class or Open 4wd class. My Jeep would not set any records but would be one hell of fun race to be a part of. Will get a picture of myself and the Jeep when the snow goes away in Minnesota.
Thanks again, Tom Malone

Stephen, Wanted to let you know that we have 29 spots available at the (Team Oly Express) Chateau for the Le Mans Classic 2010 (July 9-11), 4 nights 5 days, pit, track and VIP parking passes go with the packages for $1200 US/person. There is very little space left, so we have to let these go first come first served basis, if you or anyone on the Vintage Racing site would like to have more info give me a call at 360.402.0171. Unfortunately we tried to get more space at other area Chateaus but all are booked, this is all we can muster. Should be a fantastic show in 2010, 450 races cars and 6000 collector cars - all in one spot ! Thanks ! D*** Pierson

hey, all.
I will make more of a habit visiting here.
I am building a '70 2L. powered full tilt GTV race car this winter. It will be for sale. I would like to build it for someone. If not, I will just have to keep it and come out next summer an wuppass on a bunch of y'all.
That one's an extra GTV, more behind it... and of course, I am willing to share lots of know-how from my 30 years of racing these wonderful cars.
Please enquire: sfog@optonline.net

Dear Stephen

I was sorry we missed at Goodwood, I did send and email to say that I would not make friday at c 1100. I did try to look out for you but very difficult with so many around. What a weekend, I was sorry not to be racing in the Mini race but the car is not FIA'd.

Have a great Christmas and new year and hope to meet up sometime next year.

Keep up the excellent work on MyVrl it improves by leaps and bounds each month.
Kind regards
Conor

Hi Stephen: Glad to be a part of this endeavor! Actually, this is the second time I joined--the first time, I had to join nder my work email address: jeff.brown@emerson.com. I was having problems getting my racing email address working--jb@50-50racing.com, but we're past that now, and I re-registered and looking forward to participating! Actually, you may delete the account under jeff.brown@emerson.com, since I have my "permanent" account now, and besides, I am looking forward to retirement from Emerson in about 18 months!!! Thanks! And, a very Merry Christmas and Happ Holidays to you!

Thank you Stephen – I am so pleased you like my paintings and grateful to you for creating a page for me. I have only ever been to car events in Europe but would love to be able to market my work in the states - hopefully your site will enable me to do this!

How long are you in London for? I am in town on 4 & 5 January. If you are still around perhaps we could meet for a coffee, otherwise I will be at Goodwood FoS and The Revival.

Very best wishes

Thank you, Stephen...glad to be a part of this wonderful club and website...I've been enjoying sports car racing since the late 70's at Daytona 24 hrs...prior to taht, I was basically a dirt car (sprint, midget and USAC) fiend, and then NASCAR drew me in...but when I saw the old prototypes on the track at Daytona in the 70's-80's, I became hooked on endurance racing...

Thanks Stephen, I started our vintage club this past year and it is growing superfast. Check out our cars @ tarheelvintageracing.com. We are scheduling some great events in 2010 with racers reunion, Memory Lane Musemum and several others. Darlington Raceway is going to be great in 2010. Did you know about that event. It is totally vintage! Let me hear from you!

John Skuja

Thanks Stephen... I have a long history of interest in sports car racing, all the way back to when I was about 10 or 11 years old and I went to my first sport car race and smelled burning Castrol "R", I was hooked.. I worked for and know Pete Lovely. His race shop, now owned and operated by Butch Dennison, was a favorite hang out when I lived in Tacoma, Washington.. Butch did a lot of the fabrication work on my various gokarts and also worked on the superkart team for which I was crew chief. You can see a bit of that at www.ravens-roost.com/ofr/ofr.html...

PS, I love your Maserati...

Dear Mr. Page
Happy New Year
Flattered though I might for a moment be to receive a "friendship" invite from a woman younger than myself, I note that she is not at all selective. Am I the only one to fear that Allyson Powell bears a similarity of intent to Alicia Wood?

I just wonder - is my 1989 firefly (Electric) Vintage? I know 3 years back when I got it - it didn't pass the test for Vintage Insurance by 1 year - so It might be now! (Or was that just Classic? I don't remember!)
Steven - thanks for the welcom - good tip on joining the other vehicle clubs.
Other Sites I like are 3cylinder.com and ecomodder.com

We are off the mark and not on the same wave length. I ended up populating the Fan Page of The Texas Museum of Automotive History on Facebook with my Jaguar people.

Follow this link on what a Facebook Fan Page/Application looks like. I just don't have the tech savvy to make it work. Notice it says GO TO APPLICATION on the LHS. http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?ref=sgm&id=1035548... . Call me to discuss if you wish.
