On Nomenclature
/
Hours of sitting next to a track will teach you a thing or two about the cars running on it. The “Rusty Trombone” Passat is named not just amusingly but accurately as well: the slick side-trunk-exit exhaust produces a tone as mellifluous as that produced by the brass horn on the car’s roof.

I spoke too soon. It turns out someone showed up with a 25-year-old F-150 with the body on backwards. I can’t make this up.

The Green Flag Is Up!
/
The racers are a-rollin’ here at the Circuit of Grand Bayou. The pack has thinned slightly over the first two hours, and some cars, like the plucky AMC Gremlin, sadly didn’t even make it to the parade lap, but many of the cars are still running fine.

Why Must This 440-Powered 1972 Chrysler Imperial Lebaron Be So Cheap?
/
I have a problem. There are too many cars in my driveway and too many titles to my name. If I owned a pole barn this would not be a problem, but I do not. The latest painful reminder of my storage inadequacies is this super-sweet 1972 Chrysler Imperial Lebaron, complete with a 440 V8,…
