Today is the 19th anniversary of the death of Ayrton Senna, who died at Imola in 1994 in what was probably the darkest weekend in the history of motorsports. Senna was one of the most talented drivers ever in F1. What was your best memory of him?

Taylor and Loyning were old high school friends who started out doing solo events along with Marty Loft before they all went SCCA racing in production cars.  Loyning, Taylor and Loft later formed…

Thus far it looks like around fifty entries, with twenty-two from the US and Canada, a couple from Europe, and one crew from Australia.  One of the…
