Time Flies
It was a crisp Fall morning in the pits at Mosport, near Bowmanville, Ontario. Canada.

I was checking out the cars for the feature F1 race with another guy in his early twenties who wrote for the Canadian motorsports magazine, Track & Traffic. His name was Lance Hill. There were no drivers in the pits and we got reasonably close to the cars. We were just two young guys talking about yesterday's practice times and somewhat mystified by what we were looking at. These cars were only familiar to us from magazine pages. I remember him now as a very nice guy, very approachable, and with a good sense of humor.
Time moved on. At some point I was in an airport and picked up a soft cover edition of "King of White Lady" by Lance Hill. The author's description left no doubt that this was the same person I once met. It was a good read and I had it around for years before it somehow disappeared.

The Concours D’Elegance classic car show held at The Antique Boat Museum (ABM) on July 17 attracted over 60 rare and distinctive motorcars and some 800 spectators.
While not an officially judged show this year, all attendees were invited to vote in several categories including People’s Choice, Women’s Choice, The Car I Would Love to Drive Home and the Brock Gates awards.
The Brock Yates award was given to Elliott Hillback’s 1955 Mercedes Benz 300SL (Sport Light) Gull-wing Coupe. One of only 1,400 produced, the car has 54,000 original miles and was restored in 2006.
Tutto Italiano Rained On But Not Out
Sunday, August 7, 2011 | Larz Anderson Auto Museum | Brookline, MA
At times it poured buckets and at times it just drizzled, but it never didn't rain. Tutto Italiano is the largest Italian vehicle and lifestyle event in the Northeast. Although far less than one hundred cars and motorcycles displayed, the surprisingly large crowd remained damp and joyful throughout. Stay tuned for more Tutto 2011 news.
