Grassroots racing has a problem, and anyone involved in the sport knows it. NASCAR star, Kyle Larson, was one of the loudest voices with a solution last year when he proclaimed that NASCAR needed to encourage drivers to race at local tracks with support series....
Alright QCrew, we all do it sometimes. When hanging out at the race track after an event, after taking off our helmets and gloves and opening our first beverage after the track has gone cold for the day, we speak disparagingly of a highly shined “garage queen” car or bike sitting in the infield.

In fact, some of us actually attend and participate in car shows and – gasp – even a Concours d’Elegance from time to time.
As you know, the QCrew is no stranger to Land Speed Record Racing (Quicksilver Motorcycle Land Speed Record).

In Italy, Leonardo Frigerio and his brother spent their free time refurbishing and racing vintage cars. They worked together as brothers and as competitors, finding, fixing and racing cars on some of the great tracks of Europe. Certainly there were bets on which was better, but one day the two took on a different bet – could they build from scratch a car like the master craftsmen of the 1950s golden age? Is it a dream?
