This past weekend I froze my ass to the floor of a trailer not designed for human habitation, ganked my knee jumping a barricade while trying not to spill a bottle of water, and had to wash a car window while being timed. It was awesome. You've gotta get to a race track. More »

Welcome to Project Car Hell, where you choose your eternity by selecting the project that's the coolest... and the most hellish! Yesterday, the Ferrari 328GTS vanquished the Japanese upstart NSX in a PCH Superpower Smackdown, which should make fellow PCH Superpowers Britain and France- unsettled since a Glas beat a Lotus day before yesterday- breathe a sigh of relief. Today we're going to let a couple of Superpowers have at it, in a Sub-$500 Race Car Challenge: Britain versus Italy!

We're taking your advice from last week and including a broader range of races for your reading pleasure.

From what we hear, it was a nice day for some AutoX action in Oregon on Sunday — we think that means the cloud cover parted for like an hour. But what do you expect from the great northwest? An hour of sunshine makes for a pretty good day out there. Unless, of course, you were an owner of the Porsche, Celica, WRX or Audi in the pictures below. If any of those were yours, you ended up not so much coming away with the thrilling experience of watching some awesome SCCA regional action. Instead, you ended up watching your ride get the crap smacked out of it by a $130,000 Porsche 911 GT3 driven by the owners clutch-confused friend. Talk about a terrible way to end a weekend.

Car and Driver teases us in its December issue by connecting several dots that lead all the way to a new version of the SCCA's Trans-Am series (which, surprisingly, is still limping along under license). Imagine the new Mustang FR500GT racer (pictured) alongside similar purpose-built offerings based on the coming Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger. All you'd need would be names like Titus, Penske, Gurney and Donohue — and a Sunoco sponsorship — to rehash the glory days of muscle-car road racing. The point man for such a revival, C&D says, would be Dan Davis of Ford Racing Technology, who's said he wants to launch a spec series for the new 550-hp Mustang racers. That series could give way to a broader one that includes Ford's competitors. Who says you can't go home again? – Mike Spinelli More »
