    Sunday drive...

    Did another impromptu drive out to Willow Springs Raceway last Sunday… this time called our friend Lars W. to see if he could come out to play.

    Track owner Bill Huth was hosting an all-pro open wheel ‘beat the class record’ weekend and I wanted to see if the old ‘all-out record’, set in 1987 by Michael Andretti at 1:06, would be broken.

    I told Lars we would be taking the LONG way to the track through some canyons and some ‘top end’ desert roads … and he said let’s go…

    Very cool. Not many opportunities to see the vintage fast ones, especially F1s.

    Thanks,
