AI/CMC Texas History - AKA, the Texas V8 Racing Way Back Machine

[RichardP]

Speaking of history, this one brought back a few memories: Wayne's old AI car currently for sale on Racing Junk along with Wayne and I racing at TWS in 2004...

Marshall Mosty sent several pictures from the 2005 TWS event, so I'm adding them to this thread.

TWS 2005

My digital sleuthing continues to find more nuggets of AI/CMC Texas goodness.

June 2003, although the picture of Covini's car getting refueled was taken during a 12 hour enduro in CA a few years prior to 2003.

The other images were taken at "StangBang" in Houston, with Eric Varner showing one of many methods used to destroy Toyo tires.

Adam,

Where in Houston were those 'StangBang' pictures taken? That location looks ALOT like Texas A&M Riverside Campus... the old airbase outside of Bryan.

Gary, They were taken at the old blimp base in Houston. I think it is called Grand Sport now in Hitchcock, TX

Gary, great to hear from you!! Do you still have the Firebird you can bring out racing again? We still have events this year at Hallett, Cresson, and Eagles Canyon this year. We would love to have you back racing again!

I still have the car. It is going into the shop for some updates though. Need to install front brakes and a new steering box before I get back out. May see y'all sometime this summer...
