Hidey-ho! Nice and sunny, Vette day. Meanwhile, we have a bird or bat or something in our chimney. Hopefully it won't disturb my nap later.
Have a good day, Gurus! |

I was perusing Panaorama Magazine, official magazine for the PCA (Porsche Club of America) and came across an interview with Bob Bondurant. Here are a few Q & A's I thought you might enjoy.
Q: "When did you know you wanted to spend your life as a racing driver?" A: "After I bought my first sports car, a Morgan Plus 4. From the start I was faster than many seasoned race drivers." Q: "Who was the hardest to pass?" A: "Graham Hill in Monaco in 1966; we were both driving BRM's. Scenes from Grand Prix were being filmed during that race." Q: "The best time you ever had in a car?" A: "Riding with students at my racing school. Giving advice and watching them get better is always rewarding." Q: "How many speeding tickets have you gotten?" A: " I lost count ..." Q: "If you were to landscape around your yard at home what plants would you prefer?" A: " I wouldn't plant anything. I'd pave over the whole lot or spray it all with Round-Up." Q: "If you hadn't become a racing driver, what would you have done?" A: " I'd be a professional helicopter pilot. I was heading in that direction in the early 1960's but i got a call to race Shelly Washburn's Corvette, which in turn led to racing for Carrol Shelby." Ok, Ok. One of those Q & A's may be . I had to keep it interesting. Except for that one bs question the remainder come from an Art & Canvas article in Panorama Magazine where all credit belongs to them and is acknowledged. |

I've discussed instructing with Bob on more that one occasion. Been thru his facility talking with his instructors when I was racing at Firebird Raceway (which is right next door). In Reno, I didn't have the guts to tell him that I just wanted the poster, not his autograph. |

IT was 96 in Reno yesterday.
I ALMOST had to turn on the swamp cooler but at 5 p.m. I opened the kitchen window and the breeze blowing was fairly cool. I haven't turned on the swamp for 2 months. The extra insulation I added when I redid the windows and siding paid off huge. That all ends today and the whole way thru Saturday, 99-100. |

Hey guys, was up and out of the house early. When I came back, I spent most of the morning in the shop. I got the crib all sprayed. Just needs to cure out. This afternoon I actually found my lazy boy for a nap.
