  • Once Upon a Wire Wheel
    Once Upon A Wire Wheel by Bernie and Norm Koglin This is the first in a series of articles recalling a few highlights from the fifty year history of the Chicago Region SCCA. Most of the information in this article is found in a history of the Club’s early years written by Fred Wacker some years ago. We also wish to thank Burdie Martin for the loan of his copies of the very earliest issues of PISTON PATTER which are an invaluable source. In the Beginning…… 1948- 1954 The term “sports car” would have meant very little to a vast majority of Americans in the years right after World War II. Then, MG TC’s began arriving in the U.S. and a few people started to take notice. Among them was Fred Wacker, who purchased one of the first little British cars in early 1948. In May of that year, Fred and Bud Seaverns drove the MG to Indiana-polis for the 500. After the race they were caught in the usual traffic jam, and came across Bill Spear and Sam Bailey, a couple of New Yorkers, in a Bentley. A mutual interest in their respective cars led to introductions, and in due course Fred and Bud heard of the “Sports Car Club of America” for the first time. Ownership of a “sports car” was an SCCA membership requirement at that time. Since Fred qualified in that respect, Bill and Sam suggested he become a member of the Club. After joining, Fred discovered there was no Chicago Region.

  • 1985: Il Sogno Diventa Realtà
    Riprende il nostro viaggio all’interno del Minardi Team e, in questo nuovo capitolo, affronteremo insieme il momento più importante, l’esordio nel Mondiale di Formula 1, al Gran Premio del Brasile sul tracciato di Rio nonostante i vari problemi legati ad un debutto così importante 1985: Il sogno diventa realtà Nel 1984 Gian Carlo Minardi era riuscito ad accumulare un grande bagaglio professionale come Team Manager e il suo Minardi Team aveva attirato grande attenzione su di se, nonostante i risultati ottenuti fino a quel momento non avessero ripagato pienamente gli sforzi. Da qualche anno ormai Gian Carlo Minardi pensava al grande salto di categoria, alla Formula 1, a quel mondo dove anche i più grandi e potenti personaggi erano andati in contro a numerose difficoltà per via degli elevati costi. Questo però non fermò Minardi che fissò per l’anno successivo il debutto nella massima serie, decidendo di andare avanti nonostante la mancanza di uno sponsor miliardario alle spalle che potesse finanziare la nascita della F1 romagnola: supporter che andavano trovati strada facendo, anche perché ormai il Minardi Team era composta da 22 persone, troppi per un F.2 ma pochi per l’avventura in F.1 e quindi bisognava trovare nuovi finanziatori, i quali erano però interessati solamente alla massima categoria. Foto1: Una fase della costruzione della scocca della “M 184 Alfa Romeo” – Foto tratta da: Minardi Team F1 di Stefano Pasini, Ed. C.E.L.I Sport 6 In vista del debutto Minardi decise quindi di andare a fare un’offerta all’Alfa Romeo per rilevare la sua scuderia di F.1 che non stava vivendo certamente un periodo particolarmente felice a causa degli scarsi risultati sportivi e degli elevati costi di gestione.

  • 90Th Anniversary of the Targa Florio Victory: Bugatti Wins Fifth Consecutive Title
    90th anniversary of the Targa Florio victory: Bugatti wins fifth consecutive title MOLSHEIM 02 05 2019 FOR MANY YEARS BUGATTI DOMINATED THE MOST IMPORTANT CAR RACE OF THE 1920S Legends were born on this track. Targa Florio in Sicily was considered the world’s hardest, most prestigious and most dangerous long-distance race for many years. Today, current Bugatti models remind us of the drivers from back in the day. Sicilian entrepreneur Vincenzo Florio established his own race on family-owned roads in the Madonie region. Between 1906 and 1977, sports cars raced for the title at international races, some of which even had sports car world championship status. Winners at this race could proudly advertise their victory. For this reason, all important sports car manufacturers sent their vehicles to Sicily. Between 1925 and 1929 Bugatti dominated the race with the Type 35. In particular, in 1928 and 1929, one man showcased his skills at the wheel of his vehicle: Albert Divo. In these two years he was unbeatable in his Bugatti Type 35 C, winning the race in Sicily on 5 May 1929 after having also claimed the top spot in 1928. He also set a further record when he crossed the finish line: the “Fabrik Bugatti” team won the title five times in a row – this had never been done before in the history of the Targa Florio and remained an unbeaten record until the end of the last official races, to this day. A reason to look back. After all, the race was anything but easy: initially one lap of the “Piccolo circuito delle Madonie” was around 148 kilometres, from 1919 organisers cut the race lap distance to a still considerable 108 kilometres.
