Another great weekend of vintage racing at the Monterey Historic Races where Porsche was featured. My dad came up from San Diego, Chris, Saurabh and my friend Bob (Click for Bob’s Pictures) headed down on Saturday and met up with Craig there. We saw a bunch of the same cars (and the characters that drive them) we’ve seen in the past, and of course some very cool Porsche’s with some serious racing pedigree. I guess the other notable “sighting” was of McDreamy – yes apparently Patrick Dempsey is a race car driver. Poor bastard, he’s good looking, is on a hit TV show and races cars to boot! In the end he didn’t do that well in the race, but he was driving a Mazda Rotary LeMans car that given my affinity for RX7’s was my personal “best in show.” I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I am currently on the Rickshaw Rallye from Chennai to Kanyakumari (southernmost tip of India). From December 29, 2008 to January 8, 2009, please check www.a-teamrickshaw.com for blog posts and pictures! Happy New Year!
Many of you already know about the Vignoles Lotus 7 and maybe even know about the history of Lotus and the part that the Vignoles play in it. I consider building the car one one my fondest accomplishments mainly because it was a collaboration between my brother Chris, my dad Richard and myself. It also took 3 years to build and was one of the hardest things I’ve done. My brother Chris recently put a photo montage/video set to music on YouTube about the Vignoles and the Lotus 7.
