"I did it again.
Thanks to social media, Facebook and YouTube, news travels super fast so rather than not saying anything, I figure I would post about it.
In Sweden 8 years ago when I crashed and 7 years since my crash in Japan, the scope of news didn't travel very far. Unlike this time which was in a blink of an eye. I have received a lot of emails from people concerned and saying not to worry. Thank you very much.
This was my second time going upside down. As the Dragster is turned over and I'm hanging upside
down by the seat belt, I could only think,
"Oh man, I did it again, Dumb!"
The medics came quickly to the scene and got me into the ambulance real fast. They took me to a medical facility on the course area to check me out. There was nothing wrong to report so they let me go.
Thank you to everyone at Chimay Race Track and thank you for your concerns about me and the Dragster."

LOKAR VISITS SACRAMENTO VINTAGE
Skip Walls, (left), founder of Lokar Performance Products, Knoxville, Tennessee stopped by the store earlier this month for a visit and tour while up here in Northern California in search of a 'Camaro"?
The Lokar brand and name is familiar to street rodders worldwide as company founders Skip and Debbie Walls have been steadfast in their involvement and support within the industry. Open any rodding magazine and you'll likely see their ad. Go to a big event and you'll likely see their rig on the midway. The company is also recognized at many industry award ceremonies and receptions as a leading manufacturer.
At last year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Lokar's brand new Drive-By-Wire Electronic Throttle Control Pedal Assembly was named Best New Engineered Product. More than just manufacturer's and sponsors, Debbie has served as Chairman of the Hot Rod Industry Alliance and was named as the Goodguys Woman of the Year in 2000 for her integrity and contributions to hot rodding.
Lokar was founded in 1988 in Walnut, California.

JAMES HETFIELD'S 'IRON FIST' 1936 FORD
BY BLUE COLLAR CUSTOMS FEATURED IN
HOT ROD MAGAZINE
It's Metal.
What Did You Expect from James Hetfield?
Metallica frontman James Hetfield has been a car guy for years. If you've ever seen the video for Metallica's song "Fuel", which is a 4-1/2 minute montage of street racing muscle cars and burnouts, that shouldn't come as a surprise. Right about the time when his taste for cars was evolving from muscle cars into hot rods and customs, he met Scott Mugford, owner of Blue Collar Customs in Sacramento, California. The two ran into each other every now and then at various northern California car shows and talked cars every time. Noting the kinds of cars that Scott's shop turned out, James commissioned Blue Collar Customs to finish a Ford F100 he bought that had already been customized.
With the F100 completed and looking like a true '60's custom, the search for the next project was on. Although he was looking for a three-window '36 coupe, a five-window "beater from SoCal" turned out to be a blessing because of the extra legroom. James had Blue Collar chop the '36, but it went under the knife in his own garage as well. "I proceeded to cut into it myself and keep it a rat for a while. That was really the extent of my skills anyway," he says. After driving the car to shows across California and racking up the miles, the '36 was rough around the edges, so he once again turned to Blue Collar Customs.
To read more pick up the
October 2012 issue of Hot Rod Magazine.
Sacramento Vintage Ford is proud to have a mention in this well composed article, written by Brandan Gillogly and photos courtesy, Randy Lorentzen.
...The 350 small-block was in the car when it was purchased; the crew at Blue Collar focused on making it look the part of a traditional mill. An Edelbrock three-deuce intake was topped with Stromberg 97s.
Sacramento Vintage Ford also hooked Scott up with the custom wrapped 'old school' spark plug wires.
These 2 photos were from our June 2012 Vintage Fridays Car Show.

PIKES PEAK CAR OVER THE SIDE!  If you have ever wanted to see an advertisement for a roll cage manufacturer, this video would be it.
Jeremy Foley and his co-driver Yuri were coming up to Devil's Playground during their Pikes Peak run when all hell broke loose. After taking too wide of a turn and losing control, their car went off the side of the mountain. They rolled, and bounced, and rolled, and bounced until their car was torn of its body panels and only the skeleton of a car was left.
Both Foley and Yuri were taken to the hospital but they were expected to be released. If they did not have such a strong and rigid roll cage, their injuries would have been much worse, possibly fatal.
Evolution Dynamics created the roll cage that saved these racers lives, and they should be proud of the product they created. They seem to also be updating us on Jeremy and Yuri's condition, so if you want to be kept up to date, keep checking their Facebook page.
CLICK on the photo above to view both of the videos including what the on board camera caught.
The car went off the road in the exact same spot another car did, during last year's race. The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado is a 12 mile race to the summit of Pikes Peak near Colorado Springs.

SHEEPHERDER BAR AND GRILLE
The Citrus Inn opened in 1913
in this very building on Folsom Boulevard. Citrus was sold in front of the building to everyone that passed by on busy Folsom Boulevard.
Folsom Boulevard was a main thoroughfare for the gold rush in the mid 1800s. Many immigrants and forty-niners were in search of some of the gold that James W Marshall and John Sutter found in the American River. The railroads that are still visible across the street today were the same railroads that were constructed in the late 1800s.
Rumor has it that over the years The Citrus Inn became many different businesses, including The Edwards Hotel, and at one point, a brothel. Everyone came to the building to eat good food and to have a good time. There was drinking and dancing 'til late at night.
Later, the building became known as Sheepherder Inn. It was a place for Basque sheepherders to come and rest upstairs in the Inn and enjoy a hearty meal downstairs, which probably consisted of meats, fish, lamb stews, legumes, cheeses and Basque cider.

Al Capone Cadillac sells for $341,000
Photos by Theo Civitello, courtesy RM Auctions.
It's remarkable what a little celebrity provenance can do for a car. To most Cadillac enthusiasts, the four-door, five-passenger town sedan is one of the least desirable body styles of the Model 341 range, but over the weekend one example alleged to have been modified for gangster Al Capone sold for $341,000, well above what Cadillac V-8s of that era typically fetch.
What's even more remarkable is that the car's ties to Capone aren't as solid as one would expect from a typical celebrity-owned car. RM Auctions, in its description for the 1928 Cadillac, claims that "the provenance of the 'Al Capone' armored Cadillac has never been questioned," but actual ownership documentation only dates back to 1933 and the strongest evidence that this particular car belonged to Capone comes from the son of the man who allegedly installed the flip-down bulletproof backlite when the car was new.
Then again, even a man as brazen as Capone wouldn't exactly splash his name across one of the most basic and anonymous sedans of his day, and the Cadillac does still feature nearly inch-thick bulletproof glass and a flip-down bulletproof backlite (steel plate used as body armor within the door panels had been removed during a late 1950s or early 1960s restoration), making it - according to RM - one of the earliest known examples of armored sedans.

FLOWMASTER MUFFLER
 In 1983 California Sprint Car racers were experiencing 'excessive sound' issues at numerous race tracks and were told to quiet the cars down or lose racing privileges. All attempts to silence the race engines without sacrificing power repeatedly failed.
Enter Flowmaster founder, Ray Flugger, with over 45+ years of exhaust design experience, and while working out of a small 800 square foot barn in Kenwood, California, created Flowmaster's first patented design of racing silencers. Ray attached handles to ease carrying the square shaped race mufflers through the race pits, and the mufflers became known as the "suitcase muffler." Today, these innovative Flowmaster mufflers are the result of years of development with top race engine builders, thousands of hours of dyno research and "real-world" on-track testing
 Flowmaster's product line includes exhaust products for Performance Street, Muscle Cars, Trucks, Street Rods, RV's, Motorhomes, and all types of race applications. With over 400 different muffler models, 370+ exhaust systems and numerous exhaust accessories available, Flowmaster offers you the choice of sound to fit your preference from "wild to mild" and your specific vehicle needs.
