The 2010 Calendars are starting to take shape. It is 11 x 17 and depicts race cars on the track. The images are truely a piece of art and sutable for hanging. If you are interested in being in either the vintage calendar or the sports car calendar, contact me via email or land line. There is only twelve months per calendar so the first twelve will be in it.
Following his team's great win at St Petersburg in the first round of this year's American Le Mans Series, Duncan Dayton should have plenty to shout about in his own right - first LMP1 win, first win for the new Honda Acura proto, built on a successful LMP2 year in 2008 - but where did all this success and momentum have its origins?
In historic, OK Stephen, 'vintage', racing.
Dayton had great success in Europe for a few years in a great selection of historic F1 cars, including a… Continue

Since I am, by all accounts, a rookie at this sport, I do a lot---I mean a LOT--of research for anything I write for the blogs. And then I run the stuff past Pete, and he fixed everything! In the course of all of this, I run into a bunch of trivia. So I decided to make use of these useless tidbits and factoids...and put together a series of trivia quizzes. All of the answers are somewhere on http://gentlemensclubthebook.com.
Just sat down to sort more photos from the past. Todays project---Monterey Historics from 1995. Some great action shots and of course some paddock photos also. Look for them on the web soon. I hope some of you went to the Riverside Raceway Museum and saw the driver get-together. I bet it was a fun time. If you are in the area it is not to be missed. Of course you can always check out their web-site. Back later with more from the Left Coast. DM

Hi to anyone who might read this. I'm a relatively new member (Gail Hill) and traditionally have and will be racing a Jaguar XJ40 and Jaguar XJ-S this year in the UK.

They have built a fully prepared 2.5 litre MG ZS racer… Continue
