In Feb 2006, I started Dixie Racing Blog (www.motorheadhotspots.com) in an attempt to document my "Great Race" project - a 1929 Ford Model A speedster. It was my intention to build a rally car and participate in the Great Race - a two week, cross-country, 4,500+ mile old car rally. My results were mixed. On the minus side: I never got the car built. Life got in the way and between family, work, kids, church, friends, etc., there was just never enough time and/or money. I also missed my 2006 target date. On the plus side: My friend Joe and I did manage to race the 2007 rally in a 1969 Porsche 911T and we placed 2nd in class! My original blog captures the events from Feb 2006 to Dec 2009. In short, it includes: rallying five different cars (1968 Porsche 912, 1969 Porsche 911T, 1932 Ford Model A Speedster, 1916 Buick Speedster, and a 2010 Ford Mustang [why? -don't ask]), making several really good friends, the demise/bankrupcy of Great Race, the Rise of the VCRA, some really good finishes and some not-so-good finishes...

So what's new? I now have a new blog (for simplicity sake). I have a new car (1928 Ford Model A Speedster). I still have the same old friend and navigator (wouldn't trade him for the world!). And we have a new season to look forward to! In case you're interested:
