As I'm sure you already know, he lives in Las Vegas.
You can stop by and visit him the next time you come to town.

Another view

Dont miss the Trans Am race. That course is great for those cars. I watched a Trans Am race there about 4 years ago that was far better than the "main event".

We always stay after the main event to watch the Trans-Am race...it rocks!
But that is tomorrow....today they just did qualifying.

I'll post a few more pics from today....interesting crowd...and I saw a cool speedster on my way home

OMG! I joined this fan club "inner circle" on the web for the CHAMP car series (which are the cars who are racing this weekend at the Long Beach Grand Prix) and we just went to the "inner circle" dinner....met one of the head honcho's and he decided to take us on a private tour of the track and transporters, etc! We just got home and he also gave us an all access pass for tomorrow!!!! Holy crap! We have to be at the track before it goes "hot" (7:30am) in the morning. Wow, what a thrill!
I will post some pics I just took of the 'night' workings..behind the scene stuff! Pretty cool! We also got to drive the whole track with him just now!

Lisa

Wow, that sounds like fun. I would love to drive one of my cars on the track down there.

Jimmy Vasser's Ford Cogsworth engine.....at night!
The engineer's never sleep on race weekend...

Work, work, work....

Nighty night little "fast" race car!

The "race babe" is about three times "easier on the eyes" than Ms. Long Beach, nice photos, uh, the race cars are nice too....

John

And now what you guys have been waiting for....
some "race" girls

This one might be one of "Z's" new avatars!

And low and behold.....a back shot for Z and she is a 914 Gurl too!

Some back sides of the Tecate girls...

And the beautiful Speedster I saw on my way home this afternoon...
