International sports car racing
It’s been an odd year in international sports car racing, because for the first time in many years, there is no corporate presence from Porsche. Some of its competition-oriented dealers, such as Brumos, have beefed up trackside support of privateer teams running 911s and 993s in the GT classes, but factory teams are missing from both the GT and prototype ranks, and the sport is poorer for it.
There is a reason, of course — the millions the company is spending for development of its first SUV, the Cayenne. As a small-volume manufacturer, an all-new model line leaves Porsche without the considerable number of discretionary Deutschmarks needed to go racing.
These developments leave most enthusiasts agog. Porsche gives up racing to build… a truck? Worse yet, a truck that is sharing a platform with parent company Volkswagen?
Pride seems to have gone out the window in favor of this notion that the Cayenne, when it goes on sale in 2002, will boost Porsche unit sales 50 percent. The good news is that current development costs for the Cayenne have not affected profits, partly due to its being a shared...
Race weekend
NASCAR: The Winston Cup community breathed a collective sigh of relief after getting through a race weekend at New Hampshire International Speedway with no driver injuries. Jeff Burton led all the way to take the Dura Lube 300, the first NASCAR driver to lead every lap of a race ever since Cale Yarborough did it at Nashville in 1978. Points leader Bobby Labonte was second, with Ricky Rudd, Dale Jarrett and Rusty Wallace rounding out the top five.
Winston Cup director Mike Helton had announced the previous week that restrictor plates would be used at New Hampshire in an effort to keep car speeds down, and that an earlier secret test of foam padding on the walls, involving unmanned cars, had proved unsatisfactory. Teams worked 24-days all week testing setup combinations and gearing under the power limitation, and many drivers groused that the plates would make passing impossible.
But a second groove opened up during competition, and there were many hard-fought battles Sunday, which Burton drove away from, seemingly at will…. Silly season is fully underway: Kurt Busch replaces Chad Little in Jack Roush’s John Deere Ford,...
Vintage car enthusiast
Any vintage car enthusiast with half a brain migrates to Lime Rock Park in Connecticut to spend Labor Day weekend, and with good reason. Its Annual Vintage Festival, in its 18th edition this year, has grown to the point where it is starting to rival Pebble Beach in prestige.
The quality and quantity of the turnout made this year’s festival simply the best yet, as both Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) and longtime participant Vintage Sports Car Club of America (VSCCA) paired up to provide a broad-ranging program of vintage racing.
Following practice heats on Friday and qualifying on Saturday, Monday’s race program saw nine race groups fighting for honors in 12 features, featuring machinery from the past eight decades. The weekend highlights had to go to the spirited duals between Brian Redman and Duncan Dayton, taking it to each other in HSR’s groups 6 and 8.Redman’s pesky green 1971 Chevron B-19 dogged Dayton throughout the Group 6 sprint, but the latter ultimately prevailed in his 1970 Lola T-70. Redman, the godfather of vintage racing, got his revenge in the Group 8 Historic Production and...
Houston Raceway Park
He may forgo the nearest farm-to-market road for the smooth quarter-mile drag strip at Houston Raceway Park, but Texan Don Lampus Jr. is still hoping to do a lot of hot-rodding this weekend in his 315-mph Top Fuel Dragster. Lampus, a 35-year-old from Dallas, will join the rest of the world’s fastest drivers on the NHRA tour for the first of four stops in the Lone Star State this Thursday through Sunday at the annual running of the O’Reilly Nationals in Baytown.
“I can’t wait for this race to start,” said Lampus, an NHRA rookie who won the IHRA Top Fuel title in 1999. “This is so close to home for me, and I have a huge group of friends and family coming down to cheer me on this weekend. They’re all so excited that it’s really got me revved up to have a career weekend.
“We certainly have the pieces in place to record some huge numbers. I’ve never raced at this track, but the word is that it’s the best in the world. It’s only a few feet above sea level, so the...
