still enjoying his high school car, a '69 Charger.. .. over 20 years later, with his wife and daughter, at the track

It came from the factory with a 318 and air conditioning, and now is running a 340. Power steering, manual brakes, but at least there are discs up front.

Over 20 years of keeping his Charger on the road, and now that Hotchkis has this autocross event a couple times a year at Fontana, he can really enjoy it as Mopar intended!

1st generation Viper was getting some track time today, you don't see that often

This is terrific, people are getting 70's, 80's, and 90's sports cars out of the drive ways and onto the autocross to enjoy them as they were designed to be used

Credit has to got to John  Hotchkis for inspiring people to go have fun on a track with their old beasts

the little engine that could is in a 63 or 64 Corvette

Since the factory only put two tail lights per side, why does this have 3? The song "Dead Man's Curve" by Jan and Dean lyric "and all the Jag could see were my 6 tail lights" inspired a lot of people to have a extra pair added.

Now that is one explanation, the other, is that the factory experimental Makos had 3 installed per side from 1959 to 1961

"Can you hear me now" is pretty funny... as that looks like where some exhaust cut out dumps and frees up 10-15 horsepower instead of going out the muffler

that they used masking tape for numbers is a travesty

No one puts up a dealership sign like this anymore

It did not start out as a Honda dealership, it started as a Buick

It has a new home, and air in the tires. 1947 Buick hearse, body by Hercules

And it could have been yours. It sat in a field in Greece for a couple years, but this month finally was bought and is now in Italy getting a new life

Passing on a 2 lane... annoying right? But a GT-R went too far, and forgot that important physics law, you can't apply brakes if you ain't on the ground

I had an idea, that my blog is often on the Google 1st page results.Looks like it's just my computer getting these results from Google. Damn. I was going to use this on my resume!

It's always been a big deal for an event to get on the newspaper 1st page, above the fold. Failing that, to get on the 1st page below the fold...

So pardon my astonishment, and fast happy dance, for checking to see what car terms result in my making it onto the 1st page of Google results. I'm above the fold on the word Mustang, Ferrari, Hot Rod, Challenger, Chrysler, Jalopnik, Nissan

Chevelle, Camaro, Z/28, Corvette, IROC, LeMans, Le Mans, Ford, Buick, Cadillac, Viper, Barrett Jackson, Bentley, Maserati, New York Times, Plymouth, Barracuda, Charger, Model T, Civic, SRT. Mopar, Chevy, Petrolicious, Hemmings, Edmunds, Fiat, Mini, Vovlo

and even Hot Rod

What is strange, is that I've never done SEO, or paid or gotten free SEO (search engine optimization) so, is SEO all bullshit? Obviously I did something to beat a billion other websites to the front of the search results. It wasn't meta data, key words, or tricky sneaky computer stuff. I think either the way the results get displayed is not what all the unsolicited SEO spam emails I get every week are telling everyone, or having kept my site online since 2006 might boost my result ahead of websites that haven't been online as long.

Or maybe, it's just that everyone who pays Google to get advertising on the Google search result page for key words is wasting their money

I wonder how long that took on a cold day? Or what he did to piss off the boss and get sent to hand start the planes.
