World Class Motoring - Paramount Ranch Road Races

Went to World Class Motoring today to learn about the motorsport history at Paramount Ranch and watch an old racing movie that was filmed there in the 50's, The Devil's Hairpin. Bet you didn't know there was a great racetrack hidden in the hills near Agoura? Well, it turned out to be a very deadly racetrack so racing ceased after just three years. However, today you can stil visit Paramount Ranch and see the remains of the old track.

New (used) BMW 330i ZHP

Picked up this 2003 BMW 330i ZHP to help relieve the MINI of its daily driving duties. The BMW has 53K miles, a six-speed manual transmission, and a handful of "M" parts as part of the ZHP package. Oh, and the color is Imola Red, available only on the M3 and cars with the ZHP package.

2009 Long Beach Grand Prix - ALMS

Went to the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) race at the Long Beach Grand Prix today. The American Le Mans Series is by far the premier racing series in the country. I just love going to these races and following the series. Here are some paddock shots from just before the race...
