I will be racing a Vee at the October CVAR race at Hallett going counter-clockwise. I would like some info on the track. What are the keys to a fast lap? Where can I get into trouble and bang the car up? How should each turn be driven? I have the little summary from the track's website and watched some of the incar video on the net but I always find the people on this list have a lot of good advice.

FYI, if you recover or replace it, you (and others) might consider acquiring a tracking device.? I have worked on these products with both Trimble Navigation and Numerex Corp. and they are available as battery powered, or vehicle connected devices that can pinpoint the location of your vehicle.? They can be set to send you a phone, pager, or email alert if your vehicle is transported outside a "geo-fence" area that you describe.?? I have these in my trailer and race car.? You're the third person I know personally who has had a race car and trailer stolen.? For more info, check out: www.trimtrac.com?

Steven R. Prewitt Obituary Steve Prewitt moved to San Diego in 1998 after spending two years deciding on the best place to live. The choice was made from the heart. He loved the town, the weather, but most of all, the people. One of San Diegos unique attributes is that it instills in people a vacation mentality that supports overall happiness. Moving here at age 55 it might have been difficult to make new friends, but not in San Diego! He would tell you that the richness of his new friendships were the biggest blessing of the move. Steve was born on December 1, 1943 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. His parents Robert and Evelyn moved to Des Moines where he attended Roosevelt High School. He attended Simpson College for two years, and then graduated in Business Administration from the University of Missouri in Columbia. Until his move to San Diego, Steve was owner and CEO of The Prewitt Company, a food sales and marketing company with the home office in Des Moines and satellite offices in Omaha and the Quad Cities. In Des Moines he also served on the board of directors for First Interstate Bank, the Riverfront YMCA, and Planned Parenthood. In San Diego, he served on the board of the San Diego Air and Space Museum. Steve knew any prior accomplishments were dwarfed by comparison when in 2007 his skull base disease gave him the rare opportunity to help give birth to an entity that will help millions of people into the future. With Steve as the founding president, four other highly skilled people came together to form the Steven Prewitt Skull Base Disease Foundation. Recognizing the dramatic need for an interdisciplinary information repository to advance the education, treatment and cure of skull base diseases, these five professional people committed to make this foundation their highest priority. It was with this passion and sustaining commitment that the foundation evolved and will continue to serve as the best one stop shopping for patients and physicians alike. You are encouraged to visit the foundations website at www.spsbdf.org. His passions fell into three categories. First, were his true friends. He drew no distinction between a blood relative and these special friends. He loved them equally. Of all his life assets, these friends were the most important. He gave thanks everyday that these special people were put in his lifes path. Each contributed greatly to the person he became. Second, until he began to experience health issues in 2004, athleticism was important his entire life for two reasons: 1). Stay in excellent condition. 2). Meet new friends through multiple sports at various gyms through the years. His health began to decline when he failed to realize the importance of the body/mind connection. If you are reading this, he would want you to learn the lesson of de-stressing your life. Regular workouts with a reasonable diet are truly only half the battle. Please understand that stress alone can kill you and only too late did he learn the inner serenity of giving your worries up to a higher power. In 2004 as he battled his first episode of Stage 4 cancer, he learned that lesson through the joy of finding the Pacific Beach United Methodist Church. Third was his passion for driving, collecting, or racing cars. He did all three with great enthusiasm. Yet, consistent with category #1, he would tell you that although we love our cars, they dont love us back. The true gift of the hobby is the opportunity to meet new, eclectic, and interesting friends. The hobby again spawned many of those friends for which he was deeply grateful. His sister, Patricia Ann Johnson, preceded him in 1969. He has two nieces from his sister, Holly Johnson from Denver and Cynthia Fischer from Hamilton, MT. As a father, his daughter Kelsey Prewitt from San Diego has always been the love of his life. His sweetheart, love, and constant companion over the last six-years was Bobbi Bennett. The family plans a private memorial service including cremation with scattering of ashes. In lieu of flowers, Steve asks two things: 1). Donate generously to the charity of your choice. 2). Take your best friends to lunch regularly and tell them that you love them. If they are out of town, call regularly and do the same thing. Greg Petrolati Champaign, Illinois That's not a leak...

I really need to install a new radiator. Any suggestions on what "off-the-shelf" radiator would fit? Someone once said VW Scirocco. But, at 22.5" x 11.75" that is actually smaller than the available space - 24" x 15". Short of a custom racing radiator, what have any of you used in your racing Turners?

Well, I'll get teh ball rolling... What a spectacular time my wife and I had at the 50 years of the Seven celebration! My first trip to UK -- 2 days in London and 2 glorious Lotus Seven filled days at Norfolk and Hethel! Many, many thanks again to Steve Winterberg who set me free in his seriously upgraded S3 Lotus Seven S3 -- the grin is still stuck to my face! To even imagine a sprint up and down Potash Lane in front of the Lotus Works in such a machine was way above my highest expectations for the trip! And then there were the people! You guys that I've chatted with for so many years -- finally meeting you in person was definitely the highlight of my 10 years of Lotus Seven ownership. To know that so many Lotus Seven owners are such friendly, welcoming, generous and all around good guys is just well, heartwarming... sorry about the emotion, but it was a very, very nice time. Thank you all! Anyway, I've some 400 photos to sift through, and about a dozen more pages to write about the visit, and guess what? It'll all turn up on SimpleSevens so that any of you who were unable to be there can have a really good taste of what it was like to visit England for the first time, to see so many Lotus Sevens and their owners (okay, and Caterhams too -- we're talking like over 500 of the darn things!!!) All that PLUS your very own verbal tour of the Lotus Factory -- Elise, Europa and the new 'Two Eleven'!!! (no factory photos, but I've got pretty good recall :-) Look for it all sometime late next month :-) Cheers, John D. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need a vacation?
