We are right in the middle of the best 3-week period of the year to be a hot rodder. Bonneville Speed Week, The Woodward Dream Cruise, The H.A.M.B. Drags, The Hot Rod Revolution, and Pebble Beach all follow each other around through August and into September. My dream? To be independently wealthy and hit each [...]

Speedweek
In case you are in a closet, it’s on… The H.A.M.B. is lucky enough to have “Buick59” on the scene and he has taken some incredible shots of the action. See for yourself! EDIT: Found even more coverage by “5wbomber” here. ANOTHER EDIT: Noteboom brings us video!!!
Lowriders & Business Suits
A few months ago I was in L.A. with a couple of my colleagues for work. We had a meeting in the Huntington Beach area and after spending a couple of hours fighting traffic, we finally got into the city proper. It was during the ten or fifteen minutes of navigating this small beach town [...]

The Dymaxion
The Dymaxion was the talk of the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair. Folks weren’t really ready for continental flight quite yet and the 11-passenger, 30 mile-per-gallon, 120 mph Dymaxion showed promise as a personal bullet train of sorts.

I leave ya for the weekend with the above image taken by David Perry. If you stare long enough and hard enough, [...]
Racing Lessons
I think it was around 1999 or so. It was a racing season that defined me as a person today and really taught me about the life value of determination and guts. I had just gotten back from a not so successful and pretty short stint in open wheel racing in Europe and was down [...]
Bonneville Art
With Speed Week right around the corner, I thought the timing was right to start a digital collection of sorts. The early years at Bonneville were inspiration for a ton of illustrators that strutted their stuff in the pages of Hot Rod, Hop Up, and other magazines. I love this stuff and want to see [...]
