Well, I’m finally home at last after a whirlwind tour of L.A., Monterey, and Denver. The historics were awsome as always, even if our R.V threatend to roll down the highest point at Laguna Seca. It sure is strange to see folks laying down $3.35 million on a car. (1938 Talbo Lago) For guys in this price stratosphere spending $40k on a VW Thing is like me supersizing my meal at Wendys. The beautiful people were all around…..heck, I went with Tim, Andy and Bill! If you ever find yourself in the Monterey-Carmel area, make sure to stop in at the Baja Cantina off Carmel Valley Road in Carmel. It’s to Laguna Seca what Seibken’s is to Road America. The walls are filled with cool racing memorabila, and the staff, and owners are very nice folks who make you feel welcome. Well until you start a fight, but that’s a different story.
Denver was beautiful, and fun as always, and the sportscar scene there is thriving. I’ll be back in the Mile High City on Sept 18-19 for the Colorado English Motoring Conclave. It’s supposed to be a great event with 600 or so cars. I’ll let you know how it all turns out, or better yet, stop by the booth and say hello if you can make it. After that, I’m off to the Petite LeMans at Road Atlanta at the end of September. It will be my first Petite, and I’m really looking forward to it. Oh yeah, and my brother Dennis is getting married this weekend up in Jacksonville. Unfortunately, two of the bridesmaids live in New Orleans, so things are a bit up in the air, or sadly, underwater. Hopefully all will work out well.
