Character Counts I suppose I am a bit old fashioned but I long for the time when men were men and a handshake was a bond. When consideration and thoughtfulness were the marks of a gentleman and every man strived to be just that. When talk was cheap and it was actions that proved the content of a man’s character, not a Facebook post. When opening doors for women and the elderly was the thing to do and standing up for truth was paramount. When things were clear and if you lost the game you didn’t get a trophy. When innovation was the definition of America and the race was on to see who could be the most creative or work the hardest and smartest. When the American dream was to elevate yourself and also your family, your community and your country. A time almost forgotten. You might say, “What does this have to do with the car community?” Everything. A community is based on a few things: morals and values. I hear over and over again during conversations on any given Sunday at any car show that the morals and values of our community are in decline. What causes such a decline? The word “entitlement” is probably the word I most often hear. And, I would probably agree. A strong sense of entitlement has made us weak and is jeopardizing all that is great about our abilities, our families, and our country. Entitlement, what a joke. So where am I going with this? Let’s take a weekly car show, which is something I am very familiar with. Recently, somewhere in America, there was a weekly car show* that decided to modify the rules. As one who puts on a weekly show, I understand that this must mean the organizers are modifying the show to not only add value, but also to keep it going, keep it alive. As word spread about the show’s new rules the comments poured in online and they went something like this: “Who does this guy think he is? He should do…. He shouldn’t do …. This guy has no idea about cars!” I was reading this online and I was truly flabbergasted. I can tell you that putting on a weekly car show for free is no small feat. It takes quite a bit of dedication. As these posts kept coming, I was amazed that not one person ever stood up for the organizer and his team of volunteers. I assure you that this organizer knows more about cars than most and has given and given to our community so I said my two cents, something to the effect of: “The only thing you guys should be doing is thanking the people who make this happen and offer to assist them with the show….” For a while people continued to make comments about how the organizer should make better arrangements and be more accommodating and do more for the community. There was not even a little gratitude, no respect, just entitlement. I could not resist but to ask if any of them have ever offered to help set the show up, or perhaps stay after the show to pick up the trash, or informed others of the rules of the show, or
from the editor
respected the rules, or donated a couple dollars for needed supplies to keep the show going. Perhaps you know the car show that I am talking about. Do you agree that the organizers deserve a huge pat on the back? Do you think that if you are going to their show—and make no mistake, it is “their” show—that you should abide by the rules and perhaps thank them? Do you think that, instead of all this cheap talk, we should add to the fabric of our great car community instead of pulling the fabric apart and making it weaker? Do you respect what the organizers have done for the community? Out of respect for their anonymity (and at their request), I will not mention the show or the organizers’ names but I have a great respect for them. They are setting a fine example. In our community it is my opinion that we are in desperate need of leaders, particularly young leaders. Our current leaders, the innovators who have defined motor sports as we know it, are getting up there in age. They are perhaps the greatest generation of Americans and include innovators from the world over. They grew up in a world when your actions counted and not your Facebook posts. They have done such a fine job and they will be a hard act to follow. Leaders, do you know any? What qualifies one as a leader? I once had the opportunity to watch a young man turn into a leader and, yes, it all started at a car show. He was young with a fast car and raced out of a car show. Now, most of you might not think this is a big deal but it is to the community at large, and to the organizer, and to the car community who loves car shows. You must understand that a car show is a privilege, not a right. And when anybody “acts stupid” at a car show or on the way to or from a car show, it reflects on all of us. Because this “kid” broke the rules he was banned. Then, over the course of a couple of weeks he had an epiphany and suddenly understood what he had done. He realized that not only did he jeopardize the show, the community, and the club he was with, but also, his own personal reputation. He also “manned up” and admitted his wrong doings and apologized. From that point on, he became an advocate for responsible driving. Before my eyes, he became a man. He became someone who could be respected and had proved through his actions that he deserved that respect. Whether or not he knows it, he has turned into a leader. That’s a real man. Am I being over dramatic? I think the greatest thing a man can do is to impact humanity in a positive way. I don’t think I personally can change America, but I do have a small voice within our car community. I feel that I would not be true to you, a fellow member of our community, if I did not write this. I believe if you love something, you must treasure it, respect it, protect it, and share it. That is how I feel about our community. I can see that we are headed into
dangerous waters and we need some real leadership at the local level. The car community can set an example for the rest of the community and that we can shine bright. We can make this world better. Car clubs are the perfect place to for our leaders to emerge. It is important for someone to set the tone, inform new members about what is to be expected at events, make it clear that the members represent more than just themselves but all of us. For example, how great would it be for a club to start an annual charity event, like the So Cal Chevy Club show which has donated over $100,000 over the last ten years to an orphanage. Why not demonstrate, not only to the car community but also to your friends and family, that you are making a difference. You too can inspire and change the world around you for the better. You can. There are so many great men and women who are getting older. Some have already passed on. There is a void in our leadership. I would so much prefer to fill this void with great men and women from within our car community and to shine so damn bright that we show everyone how amazing we can be. We could do this just to do it because it is right and because it is true. If there is one thing to take away, I hope you realize that you have the power to change your world, my world, our community for the better. You can be a leader; all you have to do is start leading. Remember, talk is cheap and anybody can talk, but not everybody can lead. Wouldn’t you rather be a leader? And to Mr. And Mrs. X who put on an amazing car show, thank you!

Vipers Visit Supercar Sunday
Story by Dustin Troyan Photos Greg Grudt & Scott Hirko
When the Southern California Viper Club pulled into Supercar Sunday, I instantly knew one thing: this club is passionate! Viper owners from all over California trekked to Supercar Sunday to share their passion and their V10 Vipers. There was definitely no shortage of horsepower and torque. Examples of the first generation Viper, which started it all, and the latest 2013 SRT Viper were on display, as well as a Mopar drag car which was brought in on a trailer. It was truly an awesome display of American horsepower. The club, which is one of the most active Viper clubs in the United States, is a close-knit group of enthusiasts. It is really more of an extended family. With track days, driving events, and holiday parties, this club looks for any reason to get together. Many members actually own more than one Viper and some keep dedicated Viper track cars—this club means business! Looking for any reason to drive, the club decided to do a scenic tour of the Santa Monica Mountains and her famous roads. When John McCann, General Sales Manager of Shaver Chrysler/Dodge, heard the club was doing a drive in his backyard, he immediately got involved. John, a Viper/SRT expert, offered to sponsor a lunch at Lavaggio for the club. He then surprised them with a raffle, giveaways, and test drives. John answered many questions about new models and represented Shaver Chrysler/Dodge in a fine fashion. John, who has worked his way up through the ranks, is as passionate about Vipers as the club is. It was a perfect match. At Lavaggio, the Viper Club was met with a warm reception, a gourmet lunch, and private parking for the Vipers. Lavaggio’s friendly staff made the club feel at home. The synergy between the Viper Club, Shaver Automotive Group, and Lavaggio was simply magical. A great day was had by all!

Auto Gallery Dominates Sonoma
Inspired by their strong start to the season, Auto Gallery Motorsports used their momentum, focus, and team work to achieve fantastic results in the third round of the North American Ferrari Challenge at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma. Auto Gallery Motorsports is a close-knit, cohesive team. Racing Director Ryan Negri and Crew Chief Rudy Courtade run a focused operation and are experienced professionals who know what it takes to win. When asked to describe how the team works, Negri described, “We have a full team. I’m really in charge of the direction of the team, meaning, getting new clients, etc. I deal with the manufacturers for the new products that
are for sale. Rudy’s our technical director. He’s a wizard with these things. We have an internal staff back at home, which includes Richard who’s our CFO/CEO. We have Evelyn who’s our logistics manager. Seasoned drivers John Farano and Carlos Kauffman both emerged victorious with race wins from the Trofeo Pirelli Championship. As Negri says about these two Auto Gallery Motorsports drivers, “These guys have tons of experience racing in Grand Am and GT, World Challenge, and all kinds of series. These are our most experienced drivers.” Qualifying 2nd (Farano) and 4th (Kauffman), the Auto Gallery drivers staged an intense
Story & photos by Jim Hunter
fight for the top step in Saturday’s first race. Farano held off a tenacious charge from Kauffman to net his second win of the season, while Kauffman’s determined drive gave the Auto Gallery a spectacular one-two finish. Farano said, “This [458 Challenge] is probably one of the nicest racecars I’ve ever driven and I’ve driven a few. It was a very, very enjoyable car to drive.” Farano relied on experience to keep Kauffman at bay entering the final chicane. The team refused, however, to merely rest on their laurels. A very enthusiastic Kauffman laid down a pole position lap for Sunday’s second race, “Yeah, I’m happy to be able to do it finally in
the season. I really had a great lap. I heated up my tires and just came out. I was inspired by yesterday’s race.” Kauffman drove a hard race to keep Ferrari Quebec’s Emmanuel Anassis and Ferrari of Houston’s Mark McKenzie at bay, taking his second 2013 race win thus giving the Auto Gallery both races for the Sonoma round. Commented Kauffman, “The cars are awesome… it’s a Ferrari and you’re always glad to be on it.” The team also did well in the Coppa Shell (Amateur) category with first-timer Jim Weiland finishing sixth in class. “We also have new guys and we have a whole training program where we
personally train drivers, develop them, and help get them ready for the series. Jim Weiland is a great example of that. He never raced anything before and this is his inaugural race. He’s been fastest in some sessions in his group and he finished sixth overall in his class. He’s doing a great job!” said Negri. Courtade added about Weiland, “We had five sessions today and we were top three in every session and even our rookie, was faster than most of the guys in the fast class. This was his first time in his new car at Infineon, which is a very technically-challenging track, and he really threw down. He did a great job. He was the fastest of his group today overall.”
“Ryan and I have been business partners for about 22 years. We started with Go-Karts and progressed into formula cars. We did some Porsche Motorsport stuff and then jumped into the Ferrari Challenge in 2000. We’re in a nice home with great support and a great dealership in the Auto Gallery…. We’ve been in the Ferrari Challenge for about twelve years now but this is our first year with the Auto Gallery.” said Courtade. Negri added, “The biggest challenge really is staying ahead of the program, making sure the cars are ready, making sure that logistically we’re there and that the cars are fast and reliable.”

Ferraris on Colorado Boulevard
On Sunday, May 19th the Annual Ferraris on Colorado Boulevard event took place in Old Pasadena. It was an overcast morning but the sun eventually came out warmed up the day. At this annual show, you can always count on seeing different Ferraris representing every decade. Approximately 140 Ferraris were on display. All together there were three Ferrari Enzos, including one painted in Rosso Dino (orange). There was an F50 as well as an F40 but not a 288 GTO in sight. A favorite car at the event was the red Ferrari F50 on display. Seeing an F50 at an event or on the streets is always a treat. By 11:00am the streets were jammed with wall-to-wall people and all of them were enjoying these Italian supercars. Roughly 10,000 people
Story & Photos by Greg Grudt
were expected to attend and, from the look of the crowd, that estimate was just about right. This event has become extremely popular over the last few years. This event is always a crowd favorite because of the wide variety of Ferraris to see—and people can walk right up to the cars without ropes or barriers in the way. Many of the cars on display are garage queens and hardly ever get driven so an event like this is one of the rare times when these cars come out for the public to see. If you like Ferraris, then this show is for you. See you there next year!

In Memory of Kraig Griffiths I am saddened to report the passing of Kraig Griffiths on June 11, 2013 (55) from kidney failure and complications of diabetes. Kraig leaves behind two children, Kendra (27) and Kenny (23), and a grandson, Lennon Barum (3). Kraig was a lifelong car enthusiast who bought and sold more than 150 cars in his lifetime. After moving to Southern California in 2003 (following his wife’s passing), he started California Car Company in Chatsworth. His most notable client was Jay Leno, to whom he sold his much-loved 1967 Honda S-600 (pictured). He drove Route 66 many times, collecting California cars to sell in Chicago. Kraig had many stories about his adventurous life with cars and possessed a deep knowledge of every make and model of automobile. He loved driving Mulholland Canyon on the way to the beach with his car club buddies. He was also an avid 1980’s Rock music fan and trivia buff. Kraig was a past member of quite a few local Mustang, Corvette, and British car clubs. He frequented Flames and Bob’s Big Boy car nights and attended car shows every weekend. He was often in attendance at Supercar Sunday and made it to almost every one of the Motors4Toys events. He was wellknown to many. Kraig was a character with a passion for classic cars who undoubtedly made his presence known. He will be missed.
With deepest condolences to his family and friends,
In sympathy, Ann L. Neftin
"I'm prepared to meet my maker. Whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me in another matter." - Winston Churchill Kraig, we will miss you! We have many fond memories at so many car events and drives. Your passion, knowledge and friendship were always appreciated. God Speed...Dustin Troyan

Car Culture
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ by Mark Llewellyn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Way to Roll Dude Taylor Tot Strollers were not just any stroller, they were the premier stroller of the 20th century. They were manufactured by the Frank F. Taylor Company of Cincinnati Ohio from the 1920’s thru the 1970’s. By today’s standards, these strollers would be outlawed for obvious safety reasons. However, for 50 years many youngsters were shuttled from place to place in these, and they survived! A testament to how well these strollers were made is evident by their availability today on sites such as eBay and Craigslist. These were made in the USA in a time when things were built to last. Like a Ford Model T, these strollers just did not fall apart or rust away. The strollers could be highly optioned just like an automobile. You could get features such as front and rear bumpers, parking brakes, reclining seats, and classy art deco fenders (called Wheel Pants) to cover the wheels. It was no wonder car trunks were so large back in the midcentury; they needed to hold these large, heavy strollers along with groceries and all kinds of other items. Three of these vintage strollers are on display at the Leon’s Transmission Car Corner in the Murphy Auto Museum in Oxnard, California.

Golf Tips with Tommy From the Inside If you are like most of the amateur golfers out there and have a problem with coming over the top, then this is for you. Is your typical ball flight one that curves extremely to the right (for right handers) or what we typically call a banana slice? If this is the case, then you are one of the many golfers out there that tend to cut across the ball at impact creating the sideways spin. While hitting a control fade is well or a little cut can be a great attribute, that huge slice will surely put you in places you do not want to be on the golf course. Here are two quick tips for those looking to fix, or at least minimize those over the top swings. Ever heard the saying that golf is a game of opposites? Well, the reason for that is if you are trying to fix something in your game, you usually need to do the opposite of what you think. Without looking at the swing on video, most golfers I’ve talked to believed the reason they were hitting it right was because they were swinging the club to the right and in effect, push-
ing the ball towards that direction. That couldn’t be further from the truth. The fact is that to hit shots that spin to the right, the club head would have to come across the swing plane to impart the spin on the ball. So if a golfer tends to swing the club over the top (or outside to inside), how would we fix it? By doing the opposite, try to swing it from inside to out. Consequently, this will normally produce a right to left ball flight. With the first drill, you will need either a range basket or if possible, a couple of empty club boxes. Take your normal set up and place the prop just outside your club head. If you use the club boxes, put them down outside the club head and parallel to your target line. Try to stack two boxes and you might get faster results. Now take your normal swings at hitting the ball but obviously, avoid hitting those props. This will teach your body to work the club from the inside of plane to avoid hitting the objects, thus creating a more in to out swing. If the objects freak you out visually, start by putting them out a bit further then slowly work the prop back closer to where
To Buy Used or New
by Scott Martin
Many people will only buy used cars while others are convinced that “new” is the way to go. There are obvious pros and cons to both. The reason most individuals decide to buy a used vehicle is because the vehicle has already depreciated so the price is lower. It is common knowledge that a car or truck will lose much of its value as soon as it is driven off the dealership lot. If you purchase a vehicle that is one, two, or three years old, you may be ahead of the game and it will retain much of its value if you keep it for five to ten years. Some people just love how a new car smells! It sometimes just comes down to a gut feeling but a lot of people just like the feel of a new car and do not want to drive one that has been driven by somebody else for twenty or thirty thousand miles. The main advantage in this case is the new car warranty, which on most vehicles is at least three years or 36,000 miles, if not four years or 50,000 miles many of the luxury brands. Although it is true that a new vehicle is more expensive than its used counterpart, the interesting thing is that it may often cost less on a monthly basis than a used car. This is due to several factors including higher interest rates for used cars, the addition of state tax and other fees, and the need for extended warranties. In contrast, manufacturer incentives on new vehicles including customer cash, extremely low lease or finance rates, and favorable residual rates help to minimize payments on a new car or truck. When it comes to Exotic and Classic auto sales, those figures may do not apply due to their specialized value and pricing. Many collectible vehicles appreciate in value, as opposed to the depreciation that is normally experienced on a new model car, truck, or motorcycle. There are many different sources to find new and used vehicles including online, newspapers, dealers, and private parties for used. While private parties may offer less expensive prices for pre-owned cars and trucks, purchasing from a dealer may remove some of the risk since they will usually try to rectify any problems you may encounter. Scott Martin is a Calabasas resident, automotive journalist, and auto broker. He has financed and leased many vehicles and always expects honesty and great customer service from dealerships. As a sales specialist and manager at Southern California dealerships, he learned to make deals that would benefit both the seller and the buyer. He and his associates at Scott Martin Auto Brokers act as go-betweens to help individuals obtain vehicles from dealerships and strive to make the process as simple and inexpensive as possible. autobrokerscott@gmail.com 818 430-7266

your clubhead is at during setup. The second drill may need a bit more understanding of the golf swing but give it a try. Once you take the club to the top of the backswing, start the motion of the downswing by sliding your left hip down the target line while keeping your right elbow tucked against the side of your body and don’t let the elbow get away from you. During the swing, you will also have to feel your right shoulder work underneath the left shoulder through the downswing. Focus on always keeping that right shoulder lower than the left going into the ball which will encourage you to flatten the swing a bit more. Practice the motions a few times before you hit a ball to feel the move. Remember that making a change takes a significant amount of time and depends on how much time you put into practice. Work one thought at a time and those changes will come around.

Moving Wheels...
by Brooks Smith
I was about fifteen miles south of Bakersfield when the Ford began running on three cylinders. The car had, in the last two years, become the bane of my existence. Enough so that the Ginetta G15 that Brian and I were going to see, was almost certainly a step up in reliability. With plans already in the works to scrap the Ford, we decided to press on—all the way to Fresno and back. The journey hadn’t exactly been planned in advance; it just sort of happened. We should have taken a different car, but we left in a rush in a Ford Focus that often failed to make it across town. It was a long, hot trip, and the CD player had failed years before but, somehow, none of it really mattered. Brian and I have been friends for decades but, over the last few years, we have found fewer and fewer times to get together. This drive was a chance for old friends to talk and that’s what we did. We talked about our lives since high school and the Army. We talked about marriages past and present, our looming 40th birthdays, high school reunions and why we don’t really go to them, lost friends, lost cars, and the way that life just never seems to go according to plan. All that time, the landscape changed around us. The eastern San Joaquin Valley is a long, flat pan. Highway 99 moves through it in a series of straight lines bordered by Oleanders and gigantic Eucalyptus trees. To the east of the highway, rows of crops run into the distance flashing by with that distinctive Doppler Effect that seems to curve their straight lines. On the horizon, the San Emigdio Mountains receded into Tehachapis, then the sharper peaks of the Sierra Nevada. The route was dotted with the kind of wide spots in the road that haven’t changed much since they were founded, except to grow a Starbucks or a Quizno’s. Many of them have strange names like Ducor and Colinga, which were shortened on USGS maps from proper names like Dutch Corners and Coaling Station A. Through all of it, the Focus carried us with a labored sense of dignity. It’s always been a trusty beast; albeit one that was never put together properly.
We got to Fresno all right. After a couple turnarounds, we got to the house we had been seeking. The Ginetta, all 875cc and 1200lbs of it, was in great shape. I was even able to fit in it. We talked with the owner, and started looking into what was needed for the car to be driven on the road. The owner had listed a bunch of stuff that he thought the car needed; enough to make a show queen too nice to drive. As seen, it was the kind of car I love—usable and original. We started for home. The Ford engine thrummed toward Los Angeles on three all the way. The conversation went on as the sun gradually plunged toward the horizon. It was an adventure and a re-acquaintance. Brian and I realized that it had been a year since we had seen each other and lamented the road trips we hadn’t taken last summer. It all took place in a room, moving from place to place, through places we would never see, but from the seat of a car. My mother once said to me, “I think I did something wrong raising you. You’re never comfortable without wheels moving under you.” I disagree on the former, but the latter is definitely true. There are many reasons cars appeal to me; probably as many reasons as there are cars. But one of my favorite things about cars is the way they provide time in our lives. They’re often seen as time-wasters. Who out there likes sitting in traffic? But on trips like this, cars take on a distinct feel of space moving through space. They bring us places, so much more quickly than we would be able to get there without them. Soichiro Honda famously believed that the time your car saved you in travel, could be counted at the end of one’s life as extra years. But in another way, cars give us time to think, to talk, and to be away from the world. Some of my best ideas come behind the wheel. Cars have more than a few draw backs but I can’t think of anywhere I’d rather sit with a friend, sip a cup of coffee, and chat. Oh, somebody else put a deposit on the Ginetta the day before I called back. Better luck next time.
Oak Hills Elementary & Motor4Toys Toy Drive
Story by: Dustin Troyan Photos: Greg Grudt
It was such exciting news—Oak Hills Elementary School in Oak Park was interested in teaming up with the Motor4Toys Charitable Foundation to hold a toy drive at their school. This all started a few years ago when I had a wacky idea of bringing together kids, cars, and toy drives at schools. Before this, our toy drives had always been very successful but I wanted a better way to connect with the local community throughout the year. So we started doing toy drives at local schools with kids helping other kids. It was the element that was missing from Motor4Toys and it was a magical addition. If you are unfamiliar with the Motor4Toys Charitable Foundation (www.motor4toys. com), it is dedicated to helping children. Our biggest event is, of course, the Annual Motor4Toys Charitable Car Show held just before the holidays. But all year long we collect toys and deliver them to appropriate organizations for distribution to disadvantaged children in the local area. The foundation was born of the car community and,
with their support, has collected millions of dollars worth of toys for kids in need. Motor4Toys is 100% volunteer; no one gets paid. All proceeds go to the cause. When I met with the Oak Hills staff, I explained that, with their permission, we would love to bring over a handful of cars to share with the students. We wanted the staff to understand how the cars added an amazing element to the toy drive. The team at Oak Hills Elementary, a very supportive group of administrators, teachers, students, and parents, loved the idea. A date was set. Everyone was very excited. Because this was our first time doing a toy drive with Oak Hills, we wanted to make a splash. We really wanted to show the students how appreciative of their generosity we all were. So we decided to bring really cool cars! I got on the phone to some folks I knew would assist us. For years, the Auto Gallery has proven to be one of the most generous and community-focused automotive groups in California.
When I asked if they would participate, they said without hesitation, “Yes!” The team from the Auto Gallery agreed to take time from their busy schedules to bring over some of the rarest and most exotic of cars to share with the school kids. The SoCal Chevy Club, a wonderful, giving group of enthusiasts also said they would support the event. Their classic 1955, 1956 & 1957 Chevrolets would be a delight to share. And you can’t impress kids without some noisy race cars so, happily, the Cobra Club agreed to participate. Sometimes there is nothing better than a loud motor to make kids smile. As is our signature, this eclectic group of vehicles and drivers arrived in a caravan or, rather, a rolling car show. As we pulled off the freeway at Kanan Dume Road, people pulled up next to us and asked, “Where are you going?” The answer was obviously, “We’re going to school!” We arrived a little early to stage the cars. A couple million dollars worth of cars fanned out on a school playground is quite a
Thank you Oak Hills Elementary School!
sight. As the children arrived in the morning, toys in hands, they were in shock! They had no idea about the surprise on their playground. So many cool cars: Ferraris, McLarens, Porsches, Mercedes, a Corvette Zr1, Cobras, and Hot Rods. As more and more kids got to school, out popped the camera phones. Interestingly, these kids knew everything about the cars from how fast they went to who made them. The kids of Oak Hill are a very smart group! For the presentation we had permission to start all the cars one-by-one and for the drivers to rev their engines. This was something we had never done before but with so much horsepower on display, come on, ya gotta put on a show! One by one, the cars started and revved their engines. Then, on cue, all the cars revved their engines together and the students went crazy—laughing, screaming, smiling, covering their ears, jumping up and down. The kids loved it! It was a great morning and those kids deserved it! The toy drive at Oak Hills Elementary was a huge success. Their efforts are even more notable when you consider that this is not a normal ‘giving’ month. The generosity of everyone at the school has ensured that hundreds of kids, who are in circumstances beyond their control, will now have something special for themselves and they will know that somewhere somebody cares. The fact that the person who cares is another child just makes it all the more special. To everyone at Oak Hills Elementary—the students, teachers, staff, and parents—Motor4Toys considers all of you heroes. Thank you! And, to the Auto Gallery, the Chevy Club, and the Cobra Club, you have always been there when Motor4Toys has needed you. You are the essence of generosity and the heart of the motorsport community. Thank you for your kindness. If you would like us to set up a toy drive at your local school, please contact us at: www.motor4toys.com
The Pagani Huayra Comes to Beverly Hills
Story and Photos by Greg Grudt
A few weeks ago, my personal Facebook newsfeed started blowing up with cell phone photos of a white and black carbon fiber Pagani Huayra sitting at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills. For inquiring minds, the Pagani Huayra is an Italian supercar with a Mercedes-Benz AMG twinturbo V12 with 720 horsepower and a top speed of 230 miles per hour. It turns out that a Saudi Arabian rally car driver transported his Pagani Huayra and Mercedes G65 V12 Biturbo to Beverly Hills for the summer. As a huge car enthusiast, I had to see this particular car for myself. I made the short drive to Beverly Hills and photographed the car while it sat in the valet lot with tourists and pedestrians drooling over it all day long. I have seen the car about four more times since then; the car is still sitting at the hotel, which leaves plenty of opportunity to see this particularly rare
automobile. While car enthusiasts are gawking over the Huayra, many haven’t realized that the Mercedes G65 AMG was not even imported to the United States. On the outside it appears to be a standard “G-Wagon” wearing Saudi Arabia tags. Under the hood, it is far from it, featuring a 6.0 liter 612 horsepower twin-turbo V12. That is not bad for an SUV! Believe it or not, the G65 carries a price tag equivalent to a Ferrari 458 Italia. The Pagani Huayra will hopefully be on sale in the United States later this year. I look forward to seeing these on the streets of Southern California very soon. But, with price tags over a million dollars and limited production, I don’t expect to see too many Pagani Huayras.

Interviewed: Tom Nelson, Nelson Racing Engines
Interview by: Dustin Troyan Photos: NRE
Within the car community I hear Tom Nelson’s company’s name over and over, “If you want an engine, go see Nelson Racing Engines!” That is a practically a mantra among car guys. Tom’s videos of high horsepower engines that are race ready and streetable, have a cult-like following online. Who makes a 2,000 horsepower streetable motor? Nelson Racing Engines does! Tom, how did you get started in the car world? I am guessing that you were born into a family of racers or hot rodders. Am I close? Well, my Dad was always messing around with cars. He had an array of cars: a Mario Andretti series Lotus; a 1970 351 Mustang with 4.56s and a top loader that he used to run at Riverside; a Corvair he SCCA’d; and a Pantera that he twin turbocharged. He also took us to car shows at Laguna Seca, Pebble Beach, etc. Car events were always family events. How old were you when you started turning wrenches? I’ve been messing with stuff my whole life but I really got the bug when I saved two summer’s worth of money to buy a Penzoil Indy Car go cart from someone who won it at a Safeway grocery story give away. It was really nice with a 3.5 horse Tecumseh engine. I loved that thing! I drove it everywhere; in fact, I turned it into a mobile detailing business. I would roll around a four or five mile area to detail the neighbors’ cars. It was actually a good business at age 13! I was pulling in $1,500 dollars a month. Anyways, I bypassed the governor and doubled the speed of that sucker. It has never ended since. Did you just dive in and open NRE or were you trained? How did you learn how to build engines? My grandmother gave me her garage to outfit as a shop where I was building engines for myself and my friends. I would purchase equipment when I could afford it, all while running a construction business, too. I hung around engine shops and
would work for free to learn. I constantly read and built things in order to learn. I learn by doing so I would just get buried and figure out how to get out .NRE started on a professional-scale when I purchased Bill Hiatt Machine in Reseda. When Bill passed, his cousins, the Scribner brothers who ran Pro Stock, handled his estate. Through mutual connections, they contacted me to see if I was interested in purchasing the company. My grandmother loaned me some money and I landed a huge construction contract so I could afford to buy Bill Hiatt’s business. What drove you to start Nelson Racing Engines? I completed high school and was two years into college when I realized that I wanted to do what I love. I actually remember getting stomach aches on the drive to work because I had no passion for what I was doing. I was going to college and running a contracting and painting company and hated it. So when I had the chance to dive into the car business, I took it. I spent the better part of ten years working between six and seven days a week, seventeen hours a day. I lost money for the first nine years but I loved going
to work. I have been pushing the business ever since. At what point did you realize you would be building 1,000-2,000+ hp engines? I started the company building off shore racing engines that were 572 cubic inch blown deals that made around 1000 hp. We did a ton of them and that really taught me how to build for reliability. We started building the heavy horse right from the get go. What are the challenges in building such high horsepower engines? The challenges today are getting the whole package done to a high standard. I believe we make the nicest stainless exhaust in the country and supply some of the best wiring harnesses you can buy. We tune each engine on the Dyno. We are manufacturing our own turbos, intake manifolds, valve covers, and fuel delivery systems so the challenge is having all of this under one roof. We stopped making more power a while ago; now it’s all about the package and details. High quality and details make ours some of the most unique engines in the world. Do you prefer superchargers or turbos? It depends on the application. If I want power from off idle to 4000 rpm then a screw blower would be good but, personally, there’s nothing like a turbo motor. I learned this in the marine world where the turbo motors were making twice the power on the blown counterparts. We used to call them “two-for-ones.” The torque compared to a blown counterpart is just too much to believe. What is the highest horsepower motor you
“I wish I had the passion you have about cars for anything.” I couldn’t appreciate that comment until now but I realize that it was hard to be bored with something I loved so much and with so much work to be done. Our reputation is based on constant hard work. Where do you see hot rod and race engines going in the future with new technologies? The industry is like the Wild West right now .There is so much going on, like 3D scanning and solid modeling, that can turn a little guy in a shop into a company that can do big things. Did anybody inspire you to go further, push harder, and be the best that you can be? My family and my friends in the industry. Smokey Yunick was a huge hero to me. On average, how many hours do you work a week? Being a family man now I work about 55 to 60 hours a week. have built in these four categories: A. Naturally Aspirated? 1400 HP; B. Supercharged? 1900HP; C. Turbo? 1000HP; D. Twin Turbo? 4200 hp. Do you have a favorite engine that you have built? I really like my 427 TT hot rod series with our patented turbochargers. This motor flat will scare anybody on the street, drive 400 miles in a day, and pull down a reasonable 15 mpg. I have spent twelve years changing this combo and it works. Did you ever think that your business would be a global brand? I always knew NRE would go somewhere. It is really nice to see that it has “gone global.” Today we sell engines to everywhere in the world. We get close to one-hundred emails a day from all over the world. But, even so, it really hasn’t dawned on me that the company is global. I’m still pushing the business to grow so I don’t have much time to reflect on it yet. We are busier than ever with the new shop and a ton of new products. I am very grateful to people who have liked what I have produced and talk about it.
Who Buys an NRE engine? I would say most of our customers are around 40 to 50 years old. They have worked hard in their lives and, in some cases, have had to give up their car dreams so they could focus on their families and careers over the years. Now they have achieved things in life and they have the means to do something special. What makes NRE the brand to buy? We separate ourselves with top level power and streetable engines that are proven by constant testing. We make as many as 75 top level engines a year and my motors have an artistic flare that can be recognized immediately. I decided not to put our name on the intakes because they look so different than anything else that there is no need to sign them. The design itself says, “Nelson.” You are not going to be able to get these same products anywhere in the world; that is what makes us the brand to buy. How did your reputation grow? Was it an overnight success or was it years of work? I’ve been working crazy hours forever. In the past, when my friends were partying and going out I would be working in the shop. A friend once said,
Fifty years from now, when you look back at your career, what do you want to be known for? Being innovative and out of the box. What would you tell a youngster who wants to become an engine builder or start a shop? Learn how to do the job so you’re proud of what you can do. Then don’t be afraid to charge for what you’re worth. I spent many years not charging enough and this is a sure fire way to go under. What is the single most important factor that has led to your success in both business and engine innovations? Someone told me that drive is 9/10 of success. For me this statement is so true. I’m just a normal Joe; there are plenty of guys who know more than I do about many things. But I think that if you want something just go after it. The universe will lead the way. If you’re driven, you will find a way and you’ll be proud that you did. For more information about Nelson Racing Engines, please visit: www.nelsonracingengines.com
Supercar Sunday Story by Dustin Troyan Photos by Greg Grudt & T.A.G. Considered by many to be the pinnacle of performance vehicles and boasting an illustrious racing heritage, there is something extraordinary about a Ferrari. I often wonder if Enzo Ferrari knew that he was building more than a car; he was creating an inspiration. If you are a Ferrari owner, you know exactly what I am talking about and if you dream of owning a Ferrari, as I do, I assure you it will be worth it. The sound of a Ferrari—any year or model—is like nothing else. It is something that is hard to describe unless you have experienced it; the sound is like pure emotion. In June, two hundred of Enzo’s finest drove to the same place at the same time and it was a roaring symphony that I was lucky enough to hear. The place they were all driving to was, of course, Supercar Sunday and it is safe to say that Ferrari Day lived up to its reputation as one of the best Sundays of the year. Hundreds of Ferrari owners and fans came from all over California and beyond to share in this truly special day. Just about every model ever made was in attendance: the latest F458 Spider, Challenge Series race cars, Bruce Meyer’s 1957 Le Mans-winning Testa Rossa, big V12 front engine touring cars, etc. There was a favorite for every Ferrari enthusiast. The Auto Gallery, presenting sponsor of Supercar Sunday, pulled out all the stops to help make it a great day. Auto Gallery team members were present to assist with the event as well as to answer questions about Ferrari. The Auto Gallery invited all of the Ferrari owners to participate in a scenic drive to a lunch that the Auto Gallery hosted in Malibu. The caravan of over one-hundred-fifty Ferraris was a rare site indeed. Along the way, traffic stopped, jaws dropped, and cameras were snapping photos. As the group pulled into the lunch destination, all the patrons and staff rushed out of the restaurant to see what was going on! It was a magnificent morning for all. I would like to thank the car community, especially those who traveled so far, for another amazing Supercar Sunday! And thank you to the Auto Gallery. You guys are awesome! Ferrari Day was a huge success.
