2007-08-31 11:30 Pebble Beach Concours: Bobby Unser's 1972 Torino
It was great seeing all the vintage race cars at Laguna Seca a couple weekends back, but what struck us about most of them was how small they really are in person. Then we saw this monster: it's the NASCAR '72 Torino driven by Bobby Unser to a fourth-place finish at Riverside in 1973, and it made the Lotus 11s parked nearby look like mechanic's creepers. Dig that 625-horsepower Boss 429! Now we can see why all 70s Torino owners need to go out this very minute and chop about 5" off their cars' ri …

2007-08-24 14:00 Pebble Beach Concours: Because One Can Never Have Too Much Can-Am
We've already yammered at length about the glory of Can-Am. It's one thing that Los Jalops can all agree on. Detroit brawn, Euro-sportiness, Texan ingenuity and enough sheer gobsmackery to make the most jaded automobile fan remember why he or she fell in love with cars in the first place. Little in this world is more awesome than even the most pedestrian Can-Am car. We had the action gallery the other day. Here're some shots from the paddock at Laguna Seca on Sunday. Go forth and drool, minons. …

We love us some British race cars around these parts, and this '57 Elva stopped us dead in our tracks at Laguna Seca. Powered by the venerable Coventry Climax engine, this thing was just itchin' to hit the track and beat some of those cars from the other side of the water.

2007-08-21 16:00 Monterey Historics IMSA Racing Action Gallery
There is a rawness to vintage race cars sorely missing from their more modern counterparts. The IMSA cars that closed the 2007 Monterey Historics at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca sent this point home in ten laps. Turbocharged and naturally aspirated Porsches tossed it up with V8 Corvettes and Monzas. A BMW, Ferrari, and a Ford were on track for race fan sonic amusement. Chad Raynal of San Jose took the checkered flag in his 1975 DeKon Monza. The symphony of forced-induction compression theatrics and …

1st Casey Stoner "The whole weekend has gone pretty well for us, we struggled a little bit on Friday trying to get the set-up but by the time qualifying came around everything was working really well. The bike, the team and the tyres have been performing faultlessly at the past few races and it's just nice to top things up with another win. It was a great race, we completed race distance on the tyres this morning so we knew they'd last fine. We got an awesome start, I started off with six tenths …

2007-08-19 18:30 Welcome To Carburetor Hell!
We've had a few multiple-carb cars, but they've always been the twin-pot variety. It can be a real pain synchronizing a pair of balky carbs, and of course you've got twice the floats to sink, twice the fittings to leak, etc. But we can only look on with a mixture of horror and awe at a Ferrari crew futzing with six of the things before a race at Laguna Seca.

We'll have some Engine Porn for y'all later on, courtesy of the historic racers at Laguna Seca this weekend, but first we though you might enjoy looking at some highly pleasing Weber carburetor installations from back in The Day. We got us a pair-o-Ferraris, a Lotus 11, and a Corvette, each huffing Weber-style.

2007-08-11 20:52 Video of the Week: Driving a Rocket-Powered Baking Tray
Post by Kasey Kagawa I'm a big fan of karting. It's a great way to learn how to drive fast, a fun and safe way to introduce those of us who don't have race gas running through their veins to racing and driving, and it's not that hard to find a good karting track. Of course, the superkarts you see in these videos aren't exactly the same as the lawnmower-powered put-puts you find at your local karting track. They pack 250cc engines, full aero packages, five or six speed sequential gearboxes, and c …

2007-08-06 09:05 Innovating past the leading edge
An extra heaping serving of power-on oversteer, anyone This video is a hot lap of Laguna Seca as seen by driver Michael Sheehan behind the wheel of a gnarly -- gnarly! -- 1968 McLaren M6B Can-Am racing car. To be precise, this doesn't seem much like driving a normal car to me; it seems to have much more in common with being strapped to the tip of an ICBM. Here's what lighting the wick on a M6B feels like, in the words of Sheehan : This was the car driven by ex-Formula 1 driver (and race winner) …

2007-07-24 11:57 Why do "foreigners" judge the US on just a small part [Rant]
I've made this argument before in various places, but I thought the subject finally deserved it's own thread and a good discussion as it's one of my bigger pet peeves. Why do many people from other parts of the world, Europe particularly but Asia and Australia too, judge the whole of America based on some small part (be it the South where the TG gang drove through or even Hollywood) Some small statistics to put things in perspective: Area of the United Kingdom: 244,820 km² (94,526 sq mi) Area of …

pterandon posted a reply: Thanks for the explanation, stray, but I don't think you have anything to apologize for. It's far more interesting and a better story to leave us waiting at the end. Suppose instead you witnessed some really exciting event at the race, and shared with us 5 photos taken ten seconds apart which are "thematically identical"-- that IMNSHO would be a really bad story. I guess I've wandered into explaining my snotty comments about some other stories, but I hope all can forgiv …

slydrite and I went to the US MotoGP at Laguna Seca last Saturday. Wohoo! Or, rather, we went for the practices, qualifying, and support races. We watched the race itself on TV at home. :) My osgood-schlatter was acting up, so I asked if I could just ride on the back to give my knee some relief, and slydrite was amenable. It did end up helping my knee quite a bit, although a) it killed my ass and b) it irked me a bit to see the endless sea of chickybabes perched pillion on their boys' bikes. Why …
