A little misadventure loading the race car for vintage racing this weekend, plus short garage and trailer tours. #vintageracing #bugeyesprite #austinhealey #sovren youtu.be/is6jup_KAws

Loaded for fun. #vintageracing #bugeyesprite #sovren

Vintage vintage racing? How the Pacific Northwest Historics began. Come check out the 37th version July 4-6 at Pacific Raceways. #vintageracing #northwesthistorics #bugeyesprite #austinhealey

Let's go for a lap around Pacific Raceways to see some of the off-season improvements. #vintageracing #bugeyesprite #austinhealey #sovrenracing #pacificraceways youtu.be/ug4A-rPcnpo?...

Racer, crew member, volunteer course marshal, spectator: The 2025 Pacific Northwest Historic races are going to be awesome. Be there! #vintageracing #sovren #pacificraceways #northwesthistorics #bugeyesprite #austinhealey youtu.be/AWGiE4jfHWI

A great duel between my Sprite and Jake's C1 Corvette at the 2024 Pacific Northwest Historics. Real wheel to wheel racing in true vintage spirit. I can't wait to race with Jake in 2025! youtu.be/RQEGAdPKISY #vintageracing #bugeyesprite #austinhealey #sovren #c1corvette #pacificraceways

Race car sounds! #vintageracing #bugeyeracer #sovren #bugeyesprite #austinhealey

Getting closer. #quaife #vintageracing #speedwell #austinhealey #spritemidgetchallenge #sovren

Sometimes (usually?) happiness is in the little things, like just enough high-temp paint in the can to give the exhaust manifold a good coat. #vintageracing #bugeyesprite #sovren #austinhealey

Race car fun with your buddies. #vintageracing #austinhealey #sovren #bugeyesprite

Going back in Sunday morning 🙂🏎️ #vintageracing #bugeyesprite #frogeyesprite #sovren #austinhealey

Goin' racing. #vintageracing #sovren #bugeyesprite #austinhealey

Now there's an upgrade I can get behind. www.engadget.com/computing/mi...

The state of quality at Microsoft. Open case for seven months and they are still blaming our procedures, even through we changed them twice to match their directions. Zero integrity, zero customer focus.

Waterford Hills 1985 Top 10 drivers, with Sam Hamilton in my #12 Bugeye slotting in at sixth. The stories of vintage race cars is part of the fun. #vintageracing #bugeyesprite #whrri #waterfordhills #bugeyeracer

Rich, Rod, and I run together at the 2024 Kimberly Cup race at Road America. 4000+ miles round trip, historic race, lined up racing hard with my buddies. It doesn't get any better youtu.be/aT4-wLJfGDE #SOVREN #vintageracing #spritemidgetchallenge #austinhealey #bugeyesprite #roadamerica #kimberlycup

Daffodils and the top off the Bugeye: Spring has sprung.

Owen, Sam, and me in Victory Lane after running to P3 in the historic Kimberly Cup race. Great team, great track, great day, lifetime memory. #SOVREN #vintageracing #spritemidgetchallenge #austinhealey #bugeyesprite #vscda #roadamerica

On-point good example of healthy masculinity, in my opinion. youtu.be/P8v1N37qJZI

First barefoot in the sunshine day of 2025 in Seattle. Having a beer for lunch: Shhh, don't tell my boss.

Some great shots by David Schultz from the 2024 SOVREN Columbia River Classic at Portland International Raceway. #SOVREN #vintageracing #spritemidgetchallenge #austinhealey #bugeyesprite

I'm disgusted that it takes entirely avoidable suffering of their kids to get some adults to remove their heads from their rectums. And for a sad, sad number, that's not even enough. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

I'm sorry, I'm being told they are synonyms. www.engadget.com/mobile/iphon...

Same turn, from inside the car. Cautious into 5 due to the dune of oil-dry on the track, and yep, missed a shift going up the hill...clutch problems were brewing.

Around T5 up the hill, and under the Corvette Bridge. Road America, September 13, 2024.

I see no reason to believe these settings have any effect, but they're worth trying. I'm reminded of this little image I made some years ago.

The broken gear, and the workshop last Sunday. Getting inspired by watching a friend race live at Buttonwillow.

Shimmy in the shifter hub nearly caused a catastrophic failure in the transmission last year. The hunt is on to find race-grade replacement parts.
