I figured I'd move my race car over to the Builds and Project Cars section.
First the quick readers digest history lesson on how I started racing and switched to the dark side.
2005 - My first vintage race as a spectator at Mosport. Hopeless hooked.
2006 - The 5 year GT6 restoration is done.
2007 - A little auto cross action confirms I like to drive cars hard.
2008 - Watkins Glen. I get to ride in a TR6 through the town on the old track. The trill of a race car sends me into a hopeless downward spiral.
2009 - I start trying to see if I can convert my GT6 into a race but have a friend with one waiting for me. Only to discover a horrible thing. I'm too tall and with a full cage and race I can't get into the car.
2009 - Then one day a FIAT follows me home. For 18 hours.
