Vance F. Stewart, Jr. Obituary                 February 5, 2022 Vance F. Stewart, Jr. AKA “The Geezer,” of Burnsville, Minnesota and Guadalupe, Zacatecas, Mexico, passed away peacefully on February 5, 2022, in Mexico.  He was a lanky, cowboy-booted, larger than life character who was witty and found humor everywhere. He had a persistent “can do” attitude, was a mentor and inspirational figure to many, and a legend on the Mexican vintage rally racing circuit.  He came from humble beginnings on the remote prairie of Lemmon, SD, born to Vance Stewart Sr. and Josie A. (Vatland) Stewart on January 29, 1939.  He graduated Lemmon High School in 1957 and earned his mechanical engineering degree from South Dakota Mines in 1962, where he was a member of Triangle Fraternity.  He married Margie Ray in 1962 and they went to France where he served 3 years in the U.S. Army and Vance III was born. Upon their return to the USA he worked in Denver, CO and La Crosse, WI, finally settling in the Minneapol

**SOLD** FOR SALE: 1990 FORD THUNDERBIRD SUPER COUPE, IMMACULATE AND LOW MILES   $9,000 1990 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe (SC)   Supercharged 3.8L    V6    210hp    RWD      5 speed manual 51,700 total miles  Red with black leather interior  Located in Shenandoah County, VA This car is a blast! "Compared to the 300hp Mustang GTs and 500hp Shelby GT500s, the specs of a '90 Thunderbird Super Coupe seem pretty tame. Back in the day, however, the supercharged 3.8L was a pretty heavy hitter. Though down on displacement, the 3.8 thumped out nearly as much power as the 5.0L Mustang (210 hp versus 225 hp), and torque production was equally impressive, with the supercharger helping to up the twist to a V-8-like 315 lb-ft of torque. The impressive torque curve is why the Super Coupes offered such impressive acceleration. With a peak power output that occurred at just 4,000 rpm and torque peak some 1,000 rpm earlier, these motors offered diesel-like torque curves." - Motortrend arti

Aaaaand we will see you on the salt in August! Introducing Salty Banshee, a 1970 Honda CL350 ready to fly down the world's fastest runway! La Bandida Racing is sponsored by TBZ Racing , Woody's Wheel Works , and Rocky Mountain Mobile Repair.  Although she's gone 80 mph on a friend's 100cc race bike during Speed Week, her dream is to go "Ton Up" and hit 100 mph on a cool vintage racer. The bike she hopes will do that will debut at 2022 Speed Week. The "Salty Banshee" is a 1970 Honda CL350 that was raced in the AHRMA in the mid-1990s at Laguna Seca, Daytona, Mid-Ohio and more. She is excited to bring it back to life after 25 years of storage with her partner, Mike Tucci of Rocky Mountain Mobile Repair, and join the unofficial 100 club!  She also plans to run against an open record on Frank Puckett's 1963 Honda 90 pushrod. Kristin owes her love of racing to her father, The Geezer, who passed away in February 2022, and she will continue to ride

Hello! We are just back from a fantastic week and a half on the salt for the 2021 Bonneville Speedweek! Between 80 mph microbursts of wind, smoke blowing in heavily from the Dixie Fire, visibilty as low as 1/4 mile, tarantulas, and a density altitude that was tough to get a bead on........we had excellent salt conditions (but maybe not so much for 200+ mph motorcycles) and a most excellent time!   My British Motorcycle Association of Colorado (BMAC) racing team came home with 9 land speed records and two of those went to rookies! Mine was one of those records (my 3rd LRS), posting a 44.303 mph LSR on an open record while riding Tim Noreen's beautiful 1962 Honda C110 Supersport 50cc. Scott got 5 runs in on the Sherminator (1971 Honda CL125), topping out at 55 mph (he did 60 mph last fall at World Finals) but Sherm wasn't too happy and after I ran a dismal 48 mph after changing jets, we put Sherm on the hitch and promised him a makeover when we get home. I hope to update thi
