BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Variety Show

What Should I Buy? - Porsches or Corvettes? (Part-2)

When we talk about Porsche rivalries there’s always one that jumps immediately to the surface. Do you choose the technologically savvy space-aged Porsche 959 or the raw and exhilarating passion of the Ferrari F40? But for those of us “everyday enthusiasts” with more modest budgets those aren’t the kinds of cars we’re interested in collecting.
Picking up from our previous What Should I Buy? episode, we looked at the Corvette as the natural rival to the 911 as “thee” every man’s sports car. And in this episode we’re going to focus on the 60 years of 911. We’re joined by Don Weberg (Wee-berg) from Garage Style Magazine, along with William “Big Money” Ross from the Exotic Car Marketplace, and Ryan Bahrke formerly of the Steering Committee Podcast, now part of the Road Show Pod, along with David Middleton former race engineer at the Nürburgring and president of MIE Racing. Then there’s Mark Shank, our resident ‘90s expert and defacto Bring a Trailer data cruncher. 
And like all What Should I Buy (WSIB) episodes… we have some shopping criteria. So get ready folks, it’s time to slick back your hair, press your paisley button down, lace up those oxfords and loosen up your checkbooks, because we’re shopping for 911s! And in this episode our panel of extraordinary petrol-heads are challenged to find our “first time collector” something that will make their friends go “YA, DAS IST GUT” at the next Cars & Coffee.

Pit Stop: Remembering Howard Purdy & The Deuce

When Howard Purdy and Bob Hodgson chalked out the frame for the Purdy Deuce on the floor of his parent’s home in 1964, little did they know that the car would be one of the dominant cars to compete at the famed Oswego Speedway from the mid 1960’s thru 1974…as well as ultimately become one of the most iconic supermodifieds in the history of the sport.
The car debuted late in the 1964 season but was plagued by “new car” issues. The 1965 season however was a revelation as driver, Ron Lux, won 5 features in a row and 12 of the 16 races held, easily winning the track title. In several of those wins, Lux used an alias as he was afraid of losing his USAC sprint car license. That year, the car also made its first – and only – race ever on dirt, racing in the National Open at the Williams Grove Speedway. Lux was running 5 th when he hit a rut and spun out. Sadly, Lux was fatally injured in a sprint car crash in July 1966 in Tulsa.
The winter before he died, Lux had suggested a young, New England driver, Bentley Warren as a candidate for the ride. Purdy wanted a more experienced driver, but after trying several veterans with no success, he put Warren in the car. Warren drove the car from 1966 – 1969, winning 7 features in that span, including the 1969 International Classic, the biggest race of the year. Canadian Warren Coniam was behind the wheel in ’70 and ’71 winning 2 features and the final driver was the late Jimmy Winks, who won 5 features including the car’s final race in 1974.
Small block and big block injected Chevy motors have powered the car over the years. The current restoration carries a 1960’s small block Chevy. In its time at Oswego The Deuce racked up 25 wins – 11 seconds – 5 thirds with 1 track championship and 1 win in the International Classic.
The car was competitive throughout the eras of upright supers, the sleeker, Indy roadster style bodies, and even when rear engine supers were running.

Oswego Supermodifieds a Legacy of Speed at the Steel Palace

The Oswego Speedway, located in Oswego New York, was built in 1951 when original owners Harry, George and William Caruso converted the one time Wine Creek Horse Track into a 3/8 mile dirt auto racing facility. The track was paved during 1952 and remained a 3/8 mile track until 1961 when it was enlarged to its current 5/8 mile size. The Oswego Speedway has been a continuously run weekly race track since it opened in August of 1951.
Dick O’Brien former Public Relations & Track Manager at Oswego Speedway kicked off this IMRRC Center Conversation about the history of Super Modified racing. He spent over 40 years in Motorsports and spoke to the early history of the track how it has significantly evolved this discipline of racing.
Following his presentation, Drivers from Oswego’s over 70 year history were invited on stage: Bentley Warren, Warren Coniam, Eddie and Brandon Bellinger, Alison Sload (the only woman to win a supermodified feature), Otto Sitterly, Dave Danzer, and car owner/promoter John Nicotra answered a wide variety of questions posed to them by “The voice of Oswego Speedway”, Roy Sova. Enjoy this funny and insightful view of how Oswego and supermodified racing has been a major influence in their racing careers.

From a Stewards Point of View: John Bornholdt

John Bornholdt, known familiarly as "Johnny B." John was a race steward for more than 50 years starting in 1952 at Sebring. He worked in race series ranging from the SCCA to Formula One. Currently, a member of the SCCA's Professional Court of Appeals, Bornholdt is one of only two people who have been honored with the Wolf Bonato, David Morell, and the SCCA Hall of Fame Awards. He's the founding regional executive of the South Jersey SCCA. Bornholdt worked at virtually all races in the Vineland Speedway road course from 1958 on.
He was steward at the United States Road Racing Championship (USRRC) races, then chairman of stewards for many Can-Am, TransAm, and Formula 5000 races as well as the American steward for Formula One races from 1970 through 1991.
He was series chief steward for the single seat 5-liter Can-Am, and then spent 17 years as series chief steward for the Toyota Atlantic series. He was also a judge for CART and Champ Car. He held various positions in SCCA club racing stewards organizations, including divisional executive steward and director of stewards. He also put in time as a flagger and chief timing and scoring during his career in racing. Bornholdt worked for 45 years at RCA, becoming program manager of large radar projects, retiring in 1996.

Cretanous Cars Sent from God

Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. On his show he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, motoring travel.
Joined by his high school friend Mark, they discuss an amusing incident involving rescuing a stuck car on a sandy road. They dive into a detailed description of Jon’s recent vacation in Greece, including his experiences driving on the challenging roads of Crete, car rental stories, and reflecting on the local automotive culture. The conversation also touches on music, specifically the band Monster Magnet, and the importance of mediated experiences in motorsport. The episode concludes with personal anecdotes and humorous observations about dog ownership.
