The Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival was amazing and the best part was getting to see a whole pile of La Carrera friends.  Nothing but smiles and laughter the whole weekend!  And there nothing like California wine country, it is so beautiful.  Also met some fabulous new friends and spent Saturday with my cousins and Sunday with a dear old friend/former coworker.  The Carrera folks I saw included Michael Emery, Luca Maciucescu, Rich Morrison, Martin Lauber and his mechanic Eric, Chip Fudge, and Joe Harding.  On Sunday I finally read the race program and was stoked to see that Martin McGlone was racing.  I ran all over that place three times looking for him until I learned he had blown his Bugatti engine at Mille a few weeks prior and didn't make this race.  Sorry to miss you, Martin!  Also had a near miss as Brad and Erin Kaplan are road tripping in their 1929 Ford Pickup and I just missed them by a day but Lauren Scheller sent a photo of...

There has been quite a bit of carnage but as far as we,ve heard, no one is seriously heard. A gorgeous Sunbeam was totalled on the first day, my friends Jorge and Tomas in the white Volvo went off road but they are okay. We ended up giving them a ride back to Oaxaca because they were ri...

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.

(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...
