Not content to stay stagnate, our Club Racing program continues to evolve. In 2011, we began the BFGoodrich Tires SCCA Super Tour program. With the help of our partner, BFGoodrich Tires, the series expanded to nine events for 2012, and included one special event in each division. These race weekends featured elements that aren’t always available at National Races, adding to the competitors’ experi- ence. We also unveiled the Majors program in the middle part of the coun- try this season, giving racers in the Rocky Mountain, Midwest and Southwest Divisions an opportunity to run for a larger championship without having to travel the country.

  • Jack Anderson Posing with His Ultra-Rare 1957 Series 1 T'bird
    Jack Anderson posing with his ultra-rare 1957 Series 1 T’Bird Supercharged F Code One of only 15 built and the only one of the remaining 8 to be in original and unrestored condition Jack is the owner of Laura Buick/GMC in Collinsville. Every year, he invites our club to a car show at his dealership. This year, unfortunately, weather caused the cancellation of the event. Jack then invited our club to join his Thunderbird club for an afternoon at his farm and fishing lake. Representing our club were 11 members along with spouses and guests. We were treated to a catered luncheon under a very large tent. Many cars of varying variety were brought to the event. There were Thunderbirds, a Pantera, a Superformance Cobra, Fords and our beloved Buicks on display. Jack had also invited the Cadillac club and some Mopar cars, but they were unable to make it there. Show Field with all of the Buicks Mark and Sherree, Mike and Sandy Chet, Pete, Rich and Patrick Dave, Bob and Barb, Mary and Jeanne (Notice that Dave is entertaining the ladies) A special Gateway Buick Club thank you goes out to Jack and Laura Anderson for hosting a marvelous afternoon of food, fellowship and cars!! They could not have been more accommodating and gracious in welcoming us to their event. Jack indicated that this might become an annual event. If that is so, you all need to block out your calendar and plan to attend. Details to come later, but this year was the second Sunday of June, which is probably a good guess as to the date for next year.

  • Buick Club of America Volume XXXVI No
    1968 Buick Electra 225 owned by Steve Dodson Monthly Newsletter of the St Louis Chapter Buick Club of America Volume XXXVI No. 7 July 2017 Hi All … I hope everyone is having a great summer so far. I am always frank and honest…and this month’s director’s letter is an urgent call for our club to step up and help. Guys and gals… we are in desperate need to sell our trophy classes for the Shriners Benefit Car Show. We are less than 3 months away and have sold only 15 of our 32 classes. Richard Self has volunteered to revisit last GATEWAY GAZETTE 1 year’s contacts made by Doug Stahl, and Mark Kistner is following up on some leads. If we cannot sell these classes, we will not be able to pay for trophies this year. We really need everyone to step up to make this come together. Doug Stahl went to businesses that he frequented regularly… is there a business you visit that may want to contribute? Are your co-workers generous? Maybe have people poll $5.00 each together to sponsor a class. If everyone just asks a few businesses… we will be able to make this come together in time for the show. I have sold three classes and have been busy working on attendance prizes and raffle baskets. On my annual car trip I received verbal confirmation from Mothers and Laid Back for items again this year. I will also be visiting FastLane Cars and EPC Computers next week. September will be here before we know it.

  • Fast Parts for Faster Cars
    BATBATBAT Fast Parts For Faster Cars Formula Ford 1600 Club Ford 1600 Ford 2000 Sports 2000 4 -Cylinder Ford Powered Parts Catalog BAT - your headquarters for FF1600 & FF2000 2 A word from Peter One July afternoon in 1967 I stood at the Paddock Bend of Brands Hatch Race Track in England and watched 14 freshly painted single-seat race cars take to the track driven by a bunch of unknown drivers, hopeful I'm sure that this could be the start of a successful career as a racing driver. I felt a tingle of excitement myself and a feeling that somehow these little, affordable, cars would finally bring me into a more active role in motor racing. That race was the first Formula Ford race ever held in the world, from which grew a legendary training ground for many modern greats in motor sport. World Champions such as James Hunt, Jody Schecter, Aryton Senna and Emerson Fittipaldi all cut their teeth in Formula Ford. The list of famous Formula Ford "graduates" worldwide is too long to mention here, but impressive it is. Formula Ford has now grown into other step-up formula such as Formula Ford 2000, Sports 2000 and yes, even Formula Atlantic. Since Formula Ford allowed me to become active in motor racing and because I was always helping out my fellow competitors in the USA by acquiring hard to get racing equipment from my native England, it was only natural that British American Transfer or BAT as you know us would evolve. Throughout the years we have expanded our racing expertise beyond Formula Ford to all 4 Cylinder Ford based racing cars.

  • Tiga Cars Media Information
    Tiga Media Information For immediate release Press Release First Public Appearance of the Tiga CN212B Brands Hatch, UK, 25th July 2013: This weekend sees the new Tiga CN212B alongside the CN212A at Rounds 3 & 4 of the Speed Euroseries at Brands Hatch, Fawkham, Kent. Orex Competition will be fielding both models of the Tiga CN12 stable with Mike Newton and Alan Bonner behind the wheel of the CN212A Car 61 and the updated Tiga CN212B Car 59 driven by Alex Champkin and Australian, Roman Krumins. The wet British summer, until the last two weeks heatwave, has limited the testing of the new development parts on the Tiga CN212A, so it was decided to debut the Tiga CN212B, which has also had suspension updates over the summer months. Mike Newton will be co-driving this weekend with experienced GT racer, Alan Bonner. Mike's regular partner, Dean Stirling unable to change his other commitments when the dates for these rounds changed. Roman Krumins from Australia joins the team for the first time and is partnered by 2012 Clubmans BARC Cup Champion Alex Champkin. Roman and all the team drivers have been familiarising themselves with the Brands Hatch GP circuit on the Tiga Cars simulator at Tiga's Cheshire base. Both cars will be sporting the now iconic “AD NetVu Connected” red, white and blue livery for AD Team Tiga. • QUOTES Mike Newton (Tiga Cars) : “We have been very frustrated by the weather, as we have made a number of exciting and significant changes to both the mechanical and aero package of the CN212A, and had such limited opportunities for dry weather testing.

Dear SCCA Media Partners, Welcome to what is truly a new era of the Sports Car Club of America, as the SCCA National Champi- onship Runoffs heads west for the first time in 46 years to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. This event, made possible with the help of our friends and partners at Mazda and the Sports Car Rac- ing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP), was met with questions at its announcement that have been answered in a big way, with more than 530 drivers on the entry list and a rejunvenaton of the west coast program all season long. While we haven’t been west of the Rockies since River- side International Raceway in 1968, it’s hard to believe it will be that long before we return again. The question on everyone’s mind, even more than usual, is who is going to win? Are there hidden gems on the west coast who may be making their first Runoffs appearance that will make a name for themselves on the national stage, or will the traditional contenders learn a new track quickly enough to hold their titles? My guess is that we’ll see some of each.
