Since I already posted about my experience at Refuel 2010 now it’s time to look at who all else was there. I was excited to see Palatov Motorsport’s cars. I visited the Palatov shop last July in Portland but at the time the dp1 was out of the shop and the dp4 hadn’t been built […]

Racing is Expensive
I read Jalopnik regularly, so I became aware this morning of the link they posted to Speed:Sport:Life about the expense of racing.
