Hi all....new to the forum.
I am a full time Mechanical Engineer in Pennsylvania.
I used to be pretty active in motorsports, but I am getting starting to get a bit up there in the years and hung that up a while back. I used help some friends prep their cars for SCCA type racing on the east coast for a long while. I also worked part time as a crew member (aka "fly in") for a pro team for a number of years in Sports Car racing...the former Grand AM, then IMSA. Worked races like the Daytona 24 hours and Petit Le Mans, plus all the other track on the calendar (Mid-Ohio, Watkins Glen, Barber, Lime Rock, and the list goes on....) Now, I just watch on TV, and occasionally attend a few sports cars races in the region.
I really like reading about racing in the 50's & 60's, sports cars and F1....so, anything Phil Hill, Dan Gurney, the GT40s, Cahparals, etc. I found the site when I was searching 'the Googles' for aerial pictures of old race tracks and found the section with the old pictures.
Happy motoring.....
Gary
