Welcome, Motorheads!
This is a place for some personal history, thoughts,
pix, links to some interesting stuff. Feel free to poke
around and enjoy some of my best memories of fun
with two wheels and four.
As a little kid, I was fascinated with cars. My relatives had a Chevy dealership, and it was by far my favorite place to hang out, kick tires, read sales brochures, and absorb everything I could learn about cars. Started driving (illegally) about age 10, legally on my 16th birthday (1959), got my first car (1965) just as I was about to graduate from college, and my first motorcycle a year later. Have had some great cars and bikes, wish I could have ‘em all back. Still love to be on the road, two wheels or four, stick shifts always!
Old Boys, Old Toys - Vintage Racing
Ten days after my high school graduation in 1961, my
parents let me take their car and a couple buddies for
a weekend at Road America, the beautiful four-mile
road racing track at Elkhart Lake WI. I’d been reading
and dreaming about this track even before it opened
in 1955, and had driven past it with my dad several
times when it was under construction.
My interest has always been in sports cars and road
racing, and that first trip became an annual event for
me for many years, sometimes even several times per
season, while living in Upper Michigan and later in
Minnesota.
I’ve lived in Sheboygan WI, about 17 miles from the
track, since 2007, and continue to attend multiple
events each year, especially vintage races for cars and
motorcycles. I’ve seen IndyCars, Formula One cars,
LeMans prototypes, the legendary Can-Am series in
the ‘60s & ‘70s, and much more.
Could never afford to go racing, but sure appreciate
the folks who can afford to own these beautiful
historic beasts, race ‘em for fun, and fix ‘em if they
break.
The photos in the slide show above were all taken in and
around Road America and Elkhart Lake WI. I’ll
periodically add or swap a few for variety.
