Spent Saturday morning with John the Marine out north of Wentzville, we put the HSD up on ramps, poked, prodded, evaluated, etc.  After he heard me start the car a couple of times, his verdict: possible/probable damage to the teeth on both starter and flywheel, time to replace the starter, flywheel and clutch.

(Photo by Darren F) End of April and the BSCC autocross season for 2016 has started, with a large turnout of interesting vehicles (and more than a few interesting drivers) at Family Arena. Very pleased to say SLTOA’s Slow Roller Racing Team was out in force, with TR6s (Prez Steve and ex-Prez Creig), TR8 (yours

Quick one, as it’s already late afternoon and there’s still plenty of items on the to-do list. First Cars & Coffee of the season this morning, the estimate came in at 500 cars, uff-da! Great way to start the spring, with more to follow.  And, as always, big thanks to M.L. Hillard for starting the
