Bombin’ turn-out for the January 2012 edition of JBA’s Coffee & Cars! Featuring the most vehicles we’ve ever had at one of our Sunday morning get-togethers, cars overflowed our huge parking area into neighboring lots. Blue skies and burn-outs! Check out the pictures and note the wide range of vehicles, including a 1933 Riley right-hand drive sports car, an early ’50′s Chevy gasser, members of the San Diego Car Enthusiasts Club, a very strong Mopar contingent, new and old GTO’s, Chevelles, Corvettes, Cobras, Mustangs and much more. Thank you to everyone who came out to support the event. See you next month!

Check out the video I made on YouTube from last Sunday as I take on the AutoX competition at the Texas A&M Sports Car Club’s 2nd race of the Spring semester!  Some of the turns were pretty tight but I managed to swing the old Cobra around and take away a trophy for 5th place out of 17 competitors in the Street Tire Mod (STM) class and was only 0.342 seconds from 4th.  I have the video’s from my 3 other runs from different camera angles so I may post those up later when I have time, but until then enjoy, and Gig’em Ags!

Here is another video from my first run as I am trying to figure out the course…

So I went cruisin all around the shop the other day and snapped some pictures I thought I’d share with y’all.  I found some customers being helped up front in the showroom…I also ran into John (our Master Engine Builder) and  Tim (Lead Tech) pulling a small block out of a customers Buick GS.  Looked like they were getting ready to hoist it onto an engine stand so John and Aaron can disassemble it and begin a rebuild.  I found a few other mechanics doing some general maintanence as well as finding a Sprint Car set up for the street!  I think the sprint car was getting some dyno tuning done. A few more long term porjects were around too like the ’68 Stingray and ’56 Thunderbird.  Anyways, I just thought I’d show y’all whats going on at JBA!

Well I went down to the local 1/8 mile dragstrip just 20 minutes south of me and made a few passes in the old ’69 Mach 1. I couldn’t get much traction but I plan on returning soon to hopefully hook up and make some clean runs, maybe even head a little farther south to the 1/4 Mile track in Sealy! For now I just made this short little video clip of the 1/8 mile run in Navasota,TX….Check it out and let me know what you think!!!
