Hi from San Franscisco

Lived in Melbourne Australia till 2006, long time touring car fan since late 60's.
Built Beechey 1968 Camaro replica in 2001, daily driver for 5 years. Still got it.
Moved to U.S. in 2006 to work in Historics full time.

Started here in CanAm with Robin Auto (Tony Nicholson is THE McLaren specialist) for a year or two, Ian Gordon Racing a year or two, (Ian left Sydney in mid 60's to work for Lotus and Cooper in UK, back to Oz to work with Kevin Bartlett in F5000, built the "channel 6" Camaro).

I'm now freelance.
All U.S. jobs are at Sonoma Raceway Motorsports Park (formerly Infineon). We have a NASCAR race, NHRA drags and Indycar race here every year.

Wow, great intro Jim, and a great cv! Welcome to The Roaring Season, its awesome to have you here. I'll be looking forward to your input, and stories. I'd love to see a photo of the Beechey Camaro replica you built. Actually, for that matter, I'd love to see pics of pretty well all the cars you were involved with!

Hi Jim, great intro. Were abouts at Sonoma are you!! i was in Mt View/Redwood City in the 80's and spent many hours at Sears and Laguna. I still over usually twice a year and even shipped my 69 Boss over for the Shelby Convention in2010. I always call in and visit Tony for a chat, had a bit to do with Scott Rubin before he past but still see Mike and all the team at McGee's!! im back over for monterey in August, will be at Sonoma at least one day for visit while over

You'll enjoy the Roaring Season here, lots of great Kiwi and Aussie Motorsport stuff
