Bill Caswell Update

A little late but still a good closer to the story.

I posted about Bill's plans for Baja success spring-boarding off his rally conquering performance last year.
Well he made the start which is a lot considering all the adversity's he put before himself before the start, with the strict-as-usual low budget, built not bought attitude, and an even stricter timetable.

After making the start and several check points he was eventually plagued by mechanical failure that unfortunately cost him the race. Some thing I hardly think he will find much of set back, I am sure we will see him lining up again for next years start with another $500 craigslist BMW.

Much more here, and here.

Keep up the good work, and of course Built not Bought!

Caswell at SEMA

I noticed that none of my trusty blogs caught any of the Bill Caswell saga. Anyway, I wish I had been there to witness the glory that is ultra cheap motor sport, and super rushed construction.

More on the build and some kick ass fabrication pictures found here.

I am dying to see how this all turns out. From a build stand point I think he has done something truly amazing, but knowing Caswell he is totally gonna finish this epic race. A race he started the super hard way.

Bill Caswell Is Still My Hero

Well still haven't finished talking about his first project because it was so cool but now he has raised the bar. For those who can't remember Bill, think low budget Craigslist BMW Rally car. Where is he going now? You might wonder. BAJA, thats where he is going. Right after he stops off a SEMA.

More Breaking Late News

God everyone will be sick of reading my blast from the past "news" articles. Hopefully I can move on to more fresh items later this week, it is just that the backlog on cool stuff that already happened is really long.

Anyways, local race news is that Boston American LeMans team Black Swan Racing took the overall win this season. I was introduced to the team when the technical engineer was buying bicycles from us this summer at my local shop. Working at the shop is a fantastic way to meet exciting people from all sorts of unique backgrounds. I'll be looking forward to seeing how 2011 turns out as they head back as defending GTC champions.

Climb to the Clouds

Yeah... we missed it. However in our defense the event hasn't been run since 2001. You don't even want to know how old we were in 2001. Not old enough to appriecate real hillclimb, that is for sure.
Anyways missing this historic auto race up Mt Washington has caught my attention. Next year expect some great coverage and other goodies.
If the event shapes up for a few more good years you should expect to us try our hand in the next couple seasons. read all about it after the break
