Caffeine & Carburators
Posted on October 5, 2009 by Peter
On Sunday, Merry and I took the M Coupe – a bit too wet for the Healey – to New Canaan, for a nice fall run with the group that meets at Zumbach’s coffee. Over 100 beautiful cars and motorcycles.
You know what the caffeine is like, so here are a few carburators for those who may unfortunately only know fuel injection.

NARRC Runoffs
Posted on October 5, 2009 by Peter
This Friday and Saturday, the NARRC Runoffs (North American Road Racing Championships) were held at Lime Rock Park. This is a Regional race series in SCCA. Luckily, I got to attend, and help out some friends. Both Chris Kopley in GTL with his Mini Cooper, and Sherman Chao in DSR with his Stohr, won their classes and the NARRC Championship for 2009.

Parade Laps – Merry on Lime Rock
Posted on September 10, 2009 by Peter
There were lots of car club paddock areas and parade laps for each marque – Merry got to go out on Monday in her 2001 BMW M Coupe. I stayed back in order to snap some pictures, so here are a few of her on the fresh pavement of Lime Rock Park.
