It is Sunday July 20th, 2008. And I am admittedly feeling melancholy. Today would have been the 80th birthday for my dad. I can’t believe I am not celebrating it with him. I also can’t believe he has been gone for over 8 months now.

I just completed what is the first of hopefully many trips to NY in 2008. This one did not consist of any racing (save for the jaunt to a local go-kart track), but since work took place on the dwarf car, I guess it counts towards the total. Last year I made something like 10 [...]

2007 rolled around with a unique challenge: There was a second black car in the driveway adorned with Cg-Lock livery, but the similarities between the cars were few. The new Cg-Lock ride was for a foreign racing surface with foreign technologies, and the season would begin with nearly a complete dearth of usable [...]
