Nice to see your car in the french American Muscle Car Magazine !
Great article with many pictures....
Didier makes a great job (as always) featuring nice pro-touring and hot rod cars all over Europe in this french speaking mag. ( One, if not the best made mag in the world!, ......no, i'm not a french guy...)

Where did you find the magazine? Didier was to send me some copies.

I had a few different magazines approach me at OUSCI and I picked Didier to have my little spare time during the event. I had never seen his magazine until he showed me a copy. I thought it was very nicely done and since he came all the way from France to do it and he picked my car, I thought it was the least I could do.

Thanks for posting!

Brian

I subscribe to the magazine.....:cool:

Didier is only covering US cars, Pro-Touring, Hot Rods, Gasser, events like Bonneville , GNRS, and so on .... he travels all the way mostly in CA and as his camera is full of pictures he prints a new mag every 2 month ...
He recently bought a 32 roadster that he called "the Lafayette Special"


You can join him on Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/AmericanMuscleCars.magazine

I will try to scan the OUSCI article ;)

I had a great time at RTTC III despite busting my transmission on the first day right after lunch. I did get in a few runs on the autocross. They opened up the course a lot on Saturday, so we can't compare Friday's times to Saturdays.

Here is one of my runs on Friday on the tighter course. It was a 39.3xx

Brian, I thought you had a high 38 run on Fri?

Open up the track? seemed the same to me. Where did they move cones? because all the chalk lines were the same.

You did great out there as usual, would have loved to see you run in the head to head event at the end of Sat.

I had a 38.6xx in Blu Balz. The track was the same going out but much faster coming back on Saturday. A few cones seems to be either moved or missing. The chaulk line was the same, but the apex cones were not in the original spot. They may not have been boxed chaulk lines for placement. I was able to go full throttle through much of the course coming back on Saturday because you did not have to turn as much. I went to some of the video I took and it confirmed my thoughts.

I noticed that too. Just watching that clip makes me feel slow now. Great job out there wheeling all those cars around this weekend!

That's some insane driving. :thumbsup:

That car makes me wet.

:unibrow:

Ops I ment Fri.

Good Call, I'll go back and ck my Fri vids vs. Sat.

Anyway, you are one bad A** driver with one Sweet ride.

Nice "work" this weekend Brian. Was fun watching you big guns get in and out of others' cars during those fun run sessions.

Can't believe that G-Force trans grenaded, if that's indeed what happened. Last thing I woulda thought would give in that drivetrain. Keep us posted on that... I assume you're hoping (depending on the issue) to get it ready for Pleasanton in 2 weeks?
