Tim Oyer Interview
We talk to Tom at length about the 2022 SCCA Nationals and how he faired with his Ford Escort ZX2.. We talk about the season leading up to the event, along with the logistics it takes to get signed up and ready to race. All in all, win or lose, it sounds like a great time for newbies to experienced drivers.
News
We talk Gas vapors and how dangerous old car fuel systems can be. We are so glad that Jay Leno is OK and hope he keeps getting his hands dirty working on his old cars!
200 HP Prius? Yeah, Eric complains about it! But he would drive it.
Teslas have a “Burning down the house” problem after the South Florida Hurricane that destroyed Fort Myers Beach. Salt Water and EV batteries to not mix!?!?! Who woulda thunk that?

Ford Corsair 1500. RHD Import from South Africa which is fully UK registered. Very very solid car which is a bit scruffy and could do with a tidy up. All tax and duty paid. I have UK V5 in my name
Eric
