After a whirlwind of motoring events this Summer and Fall, it was nice to have a few weeks of down time during November & December to reflect on another great year on the road.  I looked through our photos and found some interesting memories to share.  

Below - A few of our vendor visitors of note:

In vendor areas, you may find favorite artists creating a new automotive piece in their booth.  Both Steve Petrosky (right) driversroad.com and Roger Warick (below) rogerwarwick.com have been spotted at Daytona, Sebring, Road America and Road Atlanta doing just that!  Added bonus, you can have your purchase signed by the artist.

One of the best parts of traveling is the people you meet, like Gary and Gayle Breuilly.  They have been involved with everything Volkswagen for many years, from co-organizing events such as The Volkswagen Reunion at Woodstock, NY, to selling vintage and classic VW accessories.

Pictured above are some great VW items in their stand. If you’re in Florida at a large VW gathering, it’s likely you’ll run into Gary & Gayle. Be sure to say “hello”
Automobilia autograph collector?  Many races and concours have announced “Grand Marshals” and featured guests, but you never know who (or when) you might run into your favorite personality. Hint: Be prepared and carry a Sharpie or favorite pen for signing.  I like when something unusual is signed, such as a Helmet, Model or even a Teddy Bear.  As with many signed items there is likely a story behind it.  Joe Gearin shares this tale, “I have a necktie signed by Marino and Dario Franchitti.  When I met them at a Mercedes-Benz party in Monterey, Marino spilled his wine on it, ruining the tie.  They were good sports and both of them signed it, and laughed that it was an ugly tie anyways!  Nice guys.”

For the kid in all of us, there are the Lego® car sets (Porsche, Ferrari, Volkswagen, Lotus) available at many toy retail locations.  However, these Lego® creations are not for the average builder or faint of heart. The large-scale Ferrari was displayed near the garages at the 12 Hours of Sebring and the life-sized Porsche was on display during Rennsport V at Laguna Seca. Both, quite impressive.

I was lucky to find this rare Michelin truck mascot at a swap meet earlier this year. I’ve never seen another like it.  What is YOUR automobilia pride and joy?  Email me at
