Dave, don't you mean the window track? Where the rubber is?

$4.050 to the lawyers and $50 to the owners, right?

+1 on the silicone spray.

Dave, do you think we'll have to explain your joke to the kids here?

Dave, Have you considered this mod to your Jag?

There were a LOT of MINIs there, hopefully some of you. Thanks to Rich Bireta for putting together another GREAT event. Both days routes featured great roads with great scenery. Saturday's finish line at the Hays House in Council Grove was a home run on my score card. I had one of the best meals I h...

URGENT UPDATE!!! It has just come to my attention that Sunday's Rally is on unpaved roads!

(I guess I know what car I'll be driving Sunday!)

From Rallymeister Rich Bireta on Facebook: "If you need a driver or navigator for the road rally please send me a note. I also have openings for any one who would like to work a checkpoint or two. Just contact me."

No special high tech equipment is required to do this. You do need a road worthy car with a working odometer. My personal experience is that a clipboard or writing pad, a pen, and a stopwatch come in handy.

Hi Friends! As many of you know I am involved with the Sports Car Club of America Road Rally Program. It's pretty simple. You are given step by step, turn by turn directions to get from point A to point B. This is very "low stress" on your cars as you will be driving the posted speed limit...

I hear great things about Alloy Wheel Repair. I need them as well. And, they come to your house!

I have heard nothing but rave reviews about this movie. A friend got a sneak sneak premier a couple of weeks back and said his wife, who is not into cars at all, really liked it.

Thanks for the clarification. I am very active in the SCCA Road Rallys and as Da Mini points out, if this is your first, concentrate on staying on course, which is easier than many think. On the SCCA Rally you are given specific instructions such as "Drive X miles to Main Street and turn right ...

I have looked all over their website and their Facebook page. I don't see any way of contacting them to ask questions.

Some years back the SCCA had a road rally that ended in Garnett which was celebrating some anniversary of Lake Garnett races. They had a car show and several of former racers were there with their original race cars. It was pretty cool seeing the cars and hearing stories from the guys. Later, I drov...

Just south of Lawrence and just east of US 59 is a park with an observation tower. It gives you a pretty cool view of Lawrence and the Kaw valley.

Congrats Davester. I've always the roof looks like a kid wearing his baseball cap backwards!

So when they say all cars are invited, do they mean all British cars or all cars regardless of nationality?

Here Dave: http://www.kansascity.com/2013/08/15/44 ... ansas.html

Instead of saying "would probably" I should have said "could possibly".

I am sorry I missed this. I had it on my calendar for months but higher priority matters came up. Only a few hundred showed up? That is really disappointing! There was a classic sports car racing event at HPT a few years ago that was very poorly promoted. I found out about it by accident. I went and...

What an AMAZING day! The attendance at the show was incredible AND I had a great visit with some of your Omaha cousins. The last tally I heard was $7,600 donated to Wounded Warriors Project. I am so glad I made the trip. Here are my pictures: http://s173.photobucket.com/user/mcconned_bucket/library/...

Mark your calendar for Saturday, November 9 and Sunday, November 10 for the 2013 SCCA Road Rallys. What is an SCCA Road Rally? *You are given a specific set of directions detailing where to drive, how far to drive, where to turn, etc. The object is to arrive in at a particular time. You lose points ...

An update on some of the cars attending: "I am looking forward to the show and we will be bringing the LF-A Nurburgring Edition (1 of 5 in US) along with the new 2013 Viper GTS, and possibly our Ford GT Heritage Edition."

I am definitely going. If you want to drive up with me, I will be at the Conoco(?) station at exit 19 off I-29. This is the exit with the famous orange water tower. As you go west, at the traffic light instead of turning right for QuikTrip, turn left at the Conoco. It is easier to get in and out of....
