Here are the details here:

"The lawsuit hopes to target the track by calling into question the track's zoning laws and lack of explicit racing use being in the track's permits."

I would use nuisance law as the affirmative defense (that they came to the nuisance)
"To be successful in a private nuisance lawsuit, the plaintiff must prove three private nuisance elements:
1. The plaintiff owns the property.

2. The defendant acted in a way that interfered or disturbed the plaintiff's use or enjoyment of the property.

3. The act was unreasonable.

Coming to the nuisance should be pled as an affirmative defense by the defendant.

I am confident that the track will win and get the suit dismissed however I myself would not let it end there.  I would file a malicious prosecution lawsuit seeking punitive damages against the plaintiffs and also seek sanctions for frivolous pleadings.

Whether pre-planned in collusion with the cop or not still funny.

The weather is incredible for this time of year. I could definitely handle winters like this from now on.

Used in the movie "Drive."  I can only wish to write something as moving.

Red key but lots of traffic. Yet still a sublime winter day with no snow. No salt.

Loving the absence of snow this December 2023.  Hoping it will extend into January 2024.  Shorter winters yes please.

Another Ford GT running afoul. Not good.

The movie ran two hours and packed a lot of detail into that time frame. The movie is a snapshot of Enzo's life and situation in 1957.  There is much family drama injected into the movie and maybe more than the actual racing. Some if not many of the incidents in the movie run parallel to Enzo Ferrari's life based on some post movie research I conducted.  The racing cars were beautiful and the scenery of the Mille Miglia breathtaking. If you have a broad interest in all things automotive I can highly recommend the movie. I give it five stars out of five. And for the $10 cost of admission, you really can't go wrong. It is a miracle that Hollywood is even making these types of movies given the current agenda.

Caveat: I make no warranties express or implied about how you may react to the movie based upon my review. Caveat emptor as always.

Had a Shelby buddy over today and we were going over stash of leftover bolts and hardware for Mustang/ Shelby stuff and found this among my father's car stash. I saw it while I was packing his stuff in Toronto but was dismissive of it being original. Upon closer look it might be original because they would not make reproductions in English and French I suspect. Opinions? I was admonished for leaving the crankshaft (believed to be part of the heart of 843) in the garage. The crankshaft is now safely in my bedroom closet along with the engine. My buddy said the crankshaft should have an orange paint dot where the factory hit it with a hammer to determine something about nitride or the like. It does not have the dot but said it might have washed off in a hot tank if the crankshaft was cleaned.

On patrol during a sunny pre-winter afternoon. Not many more days like this left until March maybe April 2024.

Took the ol' Dorian Gray out on a forty mile stress test today to meet an attorney friend. Car ran like a champ. I cannot emphasize how much I love that car.

I suppose you can say that this car has a Stranglehold on me.

With all the talk of fires and disappearing vehicles I was recommended by a friend to put one of these on my car.  He is a just recently retired airline pilot having flown big birds so I trust his judgment having survived 30,000 hours of time up in the skies.  I will let y'all know how the install goes.

A fellow enthusiast paid a visit and was asking questions about it.  He thought my hood hinges were from a 1970 based on his reading of the code.

That was a question asked by a fellow enthusiast that lives in my area.  I have an aftermarket radiator in mine so I didn't have an answer.

Anyone know which number? If it was mentioned I missed it.

Great show. And all I got was this stamp.

Blue versus red. Red versus blue.

Not many more days like this left in the year.
