August 14, 2007: Go buy this magazine.
The October 2007 issue of Grassroots Motorsports should start hitting newsstands around August 21st. Subscribers are seeing their copies now. Heck, you can go to GrassrootsMotorsports.com and ask for a free copy to be sent to you. But why should you care?
Because it has B.S. Levy's highly entertaining article about the Ariel Atom vs a particular Locost - remember that trip to Texas last spring? I won't give the result away, only say that I'm quite happy with how he wrote it up. There are lots of great pictures of the Atom along with his reactions to it, and of course there's my favorite little orange car right in the thick of it. The funniest thing is that I got called a ringer again. After taking on a $75,000+ car!
To celebrate, I've got the Seven ready to defend my track record this Friday. It's the FM Open House again, the third anniversary of the Seven's "coming out". This year, it's the Targa Miata that will likely get the majority of the attention, but I do have a challenge ahead. Skip reports that his turbo Miata powered Caterham isn't up to snuff, but I know that the Westfield has a lot of potential. We'll see how this goes.
