A couple videos from Calabogie. You can hear the burble from the carbs when rolling on to the throttle.

A fun weekend at Calabogie Motorsport Park. Weber carbs were still not right, but getting better. I also had a brand-new distributor rotor and cap fail, costing me a practice session in Saturday.

It was just Catherine and I at the track as the rest of the family was supporting my Sophie at a soccer game in Toronto. We had lots of fun together and she was a great help getting me buckled in an keeping the car sparkling clean.

It was also wonderful to spend Saturday with my old friend Gary Tee and his lovely wife Cindy Jobin-Thompson, and son Mason. I really appreciated their support on Saturday.

I also added a few nice photos from the VARAC weekend in June.

I'll strip the car now over the winter and I think it should go on a chassis dyno before I run it again in 2027.

And that concludes a fantastic VARAC Vintage Grand Prix at Mosport.

Ended up 12th over all, 2nd in class, and had some fun close racing on Sunday.

We're still chasing significant engine performance, but the car (and I) completed all races and went back onto the trailer in one piece.

I had so many people stop by compliment the car, the wonderful sound it made, and it's amazing history. I feel incredibly lucky to get to drive it and I look forward to Calabogie in August.

Having fun at Mosport for the Father's Day Vintage Grand Prix.

Yesterday was trying, but we managed to deal with our long standing issues with the Spanish Weber carburetors....by ditching them and swapping them for the original set of Italian Weber's. Italians seem to be far less temperamental, and less prone to 'flair-up', than Spanish (Weber's).

Looking forward to a beautiful day today.

Not a race weekend, but still fun with cars!

We were at British Car Day, at Bronte Creek Provincial Park with Dad's 1965 Triumph TR4A. The car was selected to be the 60th anniversary car and received lots of well deserved praise.

It's certainly something that Tara and I really enjoy using as often as we can. It was also our wedding car a few years ago.

The Calabogie Summer Classic was lots of fun. It was really nice to have the whole family join on Staturday before the girls had to run off to more Soccer games on Sunday. Sophie also brought along her friend Melodie with her for company. -- Thanks to both of them for the photos below.

I was getting more and more comfortable in the car and starting to really have fun. Unfortunatly, we were still really struggling with fueling which was costing me MANY seconds of lap time. The engine was bogging quite badly at the end of long straights and coming out of slow corners as I applied the throttle -- a significant problem on a track with 20 corners! I think I now understand the issue and should be able to have it resolved for next season.

I was also a pleasure to be padocked next to .taylor.90 and his lovely MGB. Thanks Duncan for the very kind shout-out on his youtube channel - "MG Stories".

That will be it for our on track activities for 2025 -- but what an amazing year! I am thrilled with how the car turned out and the positive reception it has recieved. On to 2026 to get all the bugs worked out and hopefully put up some more respectable results. But most importantly -- Keep having fun!!

What a fantastic weekend at the VARAC vintage Grand Prix! We complete 4 days on track, with very few issues. The car received lots of attention from fans and fellow competitors with a constant flow of people stopping by to inspect my work.

After 7 years away from racing, and a brand new car to understand, I was very tentative and was building up speed slowly. There is still much more lap time to be found, but for the first weekend back behind the wheel, I couldn't have been happier.

At the end of the weekend, we ended up 1st (and only) in class and went away with a nice trophy. After 6 hard years of effort I'm happy to take home some hardware, even if I was alone on the podum.

Next race weekend should be at Calabogie in August.

After 6 years of work, we managed to get the Mallock on track for the first time. There were of course a number of little issues to sort out, but even the F1 teams face those challanges when shaking down a new car. Generally i'm thrilled with how it turned out.

I'm looking forward to attending the Vintage Grand Prix at Mosport in 2 weeks time. I fully expect more little issues to deal with, but that's all part of the fun!

After 5+ years of work the Mallock is functionality complete!! I am delighted with how it turned out.

I'm trying to arrange a shake down test sometime in mid-April with the goal of attending the first race weekend on May 10th.

Stay tuned for more updates.
