Our friend Ron Kirby stopped by the shop several weeks back to pick up his next project car (a Porsche 968). While he was there we spent some time reminiscing about his experiences racing Trans Am in his Camaro, collaborating with NASCAR legends, and his passion for anything automotive. We hope to have Ron on an upcoming podcast so that you can hear his stories too. Below are pictures of Ron posing alongside of an old dirt track car that ran in Sumter, SC back in the early 60’s and Ron racing with the best of Trans Am in 1972.

This project is well into its fourth year, and has a way to go. This coupe started as a $3,400 craigslist car that I drove home. Check out the video and our progress to date.

We ran VIR with a highly modified automatic transmission, but we are graduating to a 5 speed manual for the Daytona race. Step one is cutting a hole in the floor of this old police car.

Since the Intercepter hit a tire barrier during the 24 Hour Champ Race at Virginia International Raceway last August, we need to do some body work be fore we head to Daytona in April. Here is a short video of the initial teardown. Not much damage, so repairs should be easy.

Stopped by Bob’s shop today to look at his 1957 Chevrolet Panel project. Dual wheels, 3500 chassis, Cadillac taillights, and 500 cu in Caddy engine. Can’t wait for this one to be finished! #sleeveless stuff

One of the Motorheads had a little fun with some of the video we shot while prepping the Crown Victoria for an initial shake down at Atlanta Motor Speedway prior to our first 24 hour race with the Champ Car series. Enjoy!

Adding another Motorhead to our group…

Since the 968 is gone (now living near COTA) we decided to purchase CTS-Vs as our track duty cars.  We were looking for a couple used Corvettes and stumbled upon Cadillac’s first generation CTS-V.  These are great cars and probably best described as 4 door Corvettes with their LS6 engines and 6 speed transmissions.  We are planning several track day trips in 2019…stay tuned for details!

New LS7 clutch, a bunch of Creative Steel parts (short shift, suspension bits etc.) being installed this week.  The Motorheads have big plans for 2019!
