15 September 2020 part deux

 I took some time to sit in a closed room with and air filter ,,, this smoke is something else for my allergies. 

I invited a bunch of people via Facebook to follow the film page and I am sure I missed someone so please share 

Basically if you have been involved with motorsports and can - will be interested in being a contributor to this film about honoring Race Car Mechanics in a documentary form I'll send a film release and start planning to schedule interviews.

 02/09/2022  Well reader Rona is on fade mode and that means going to in-person interviews.  I have some great audio and stories from Bob Earl   that I needs to edit and we have planned more Google Teams time but as the months plough by, a road trip is in order.  After all, no one will want to watch a "zoom movie" after all this - but audio is always useful. Also Jacques and I will have a talk and with the assistance of World Speed Motorsports we will have a proper location to film. I must say that 2 years on the grad to get this going properly for the filming has been a drag but -  as with the renewing force of Spring - I'm ready to get to it.  Hope reader is well  SU Carburettor Jet - Lean for Racing

May 2023 Already

Hi Reader. Been a while again.  I have been working the day job mostly and doing work around the house and on my MG.  Jacques called and wanted to get my schedule for the next round - I plan on getting some Jim Russell stories from him this round.  I tried to get a spot at the track (Sonoma ) from the President herself but she is pretty busy and doesn't seem to have time for a dinosaur.  The shop with the Allard will likely have to do again but the road noise and the occasional bi-plane will be in the audio.  I also started to do some great editing tutorials for Adobe Premiere. It's not like editing on your iPhone for the 'Gram as one may imagine. If you are reading this you know about Stephan Wilson and Katherine Legge incident in practice.  My 2 cents is that racing can be messy and Katherine was a superb driver and excellent in feed back while we were developing the NSX GT3 and shit happens.  I feel for Stephan. Again if you are reading this yo...

1927 or 1928 William De Vore, Mechanician at right who was planning on filling in for his late father at Indy 1930.    Hello Reader,  If you are anything like I am the 500 holds fond memories of watching with Dad on the TV. My earliest recollection is watching on the TV with Dad in 1968 or 1969 ( I recall yellow footy fleece vividly ). Yesterday, I was having a chat with Jonathan Gashel - Lay Down Kart Racer, Mechanic and Father.  As we caught up, he mentioned that he and his oldest son Micah are flying in Saturday to meet up with Jonathan's Dad to continue the tradition of going to the 500.   Jonathan's Dad has gone since 1983 - only missing 1999 & 2020.   Jonathan started in 1988 and missed 1996, 1999 and 2020. Micah since 2017, also missing 2020.  Well I guess we all sorta missed 2020 in general so that doesn't really count.  That is just one family story of the tradition of going to the track on race day.  That kind of dedic...
