Haha, it was the backway from Scotts Valley to Santa Cruz via Granite creek back when I was in high school. Then it was Glenwood Dr, the back way over highway 17 on my way to San Jose State

I took my son up to Scotts Valley one day when you guys had the Suby on display at the shopping center. We still have those pics and will be really cool to see you progress up through the ranks.

We've been rooting for Scott Pruett on the Rolex races. My wife used to know him back in the 80's when he was just getting started. Maybe we'll have two guys to root for, and one of them won't be likely to retire anytime soon haha.

Thanks alot! I remember talking with you that day in front of *** Hill. I think you were telling me how much your son likes riding shotgun when you go on "spirited" drives in the SC Mountains.

I hope you guys will have someone to cheer for at the Rolex race coming up at Miller Motorsports Park. Trying to find the sponsorship right now to make it happen. Wish me luck!

I actually used to work for Bruce a couple of years ago. It was a painful job because I had to work on/look at amazing pieces of racing history all day and just see them sit in showrooms. The Porsche 962 that I could see from my desk would laugh at me every day

. The vintage racing clips that Marshell had going on SpeedTV.com for a while were fun to watch because I got to see some of the cars on track.

Here is a high res lap that my friend edited for me with shots from outside the car as well. It came out pretty cool. And I spared you all and did not put music to it. That is just a crime when people do that.
