Artifacts: The ARCA Pearl Harbor Letter 


In early December of 1941 George Rand, then President of the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) mailed postcards to the club's membership announcing a halt of all activities until further notice. After the War ended it would be a few years before organized road racing resumed in North America, and only then under multiple banners, none of which belonged to the ARCA. This is Rand's draft letter whose contents found their way onto what was for all intents and purposes the last official comuniqué the founding and revolutionary organization's members would ever get.

Racing MGAs in North America 


The BARC (that's "B" for "Binghampton" not "British") website is building an interesting archive of information and photos on the MGA in competition. Current highlights include the Gus Ehrman Sebring car as well as many photos of cars with very odd rollbars.

Enjoy here.

The Cunningham Auto Museum 
A video of a tour of the long-closed Briggs Cunningham Auto Museum, featuring John Burgess. Who has period footage of Harrah's, the Long Island Auto Museum, Barney Pollard's, or any of the other early American car collections?

First Entry 
My roots can be traced back at least this far. My dad (and his mother in law/my grandmother) with his stock 1932 Ford roadster some time in the '60s.
