All quiet on the broadcast front, sports fans.
After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the team has been hard at work putting together the documentary chronicling Winding Road Racing’s journey to, and participation in, last year’s 25 Hours of Thunderhill. Piloting a Ford Mustang Boss 302S, the crew took on the longest race on the 2013 race season calendar, and as an added bonus, you may recall that they did pretty well in their class. Due out in April, you can check out the trailer for the upcoming film below. We’re biased, of course, but we think you’ll really enjoy it.
We reserve a warm spot in our hearts for the underdog. Maybe it’s an American thing. Maybe it’s our love of surprise. In any event, the 25 Hours of Thunderhill provides plenty of encouragement to underdog-lovers everywhere.
It’s with great pride that we congratulate to our very own Team Winding Road for their first place finish in the E0 Class at the 25 hours of Thunderhill in the Winding Road Racing Boss 302S Ford Mustang.
Choosing a car for a major race, in reality, is a complex affair. No offense to those of our beloved readers who will be aghast at our selection process, but if you’re doing it from your armchair it is a whole lot easier. Because, in reality, you have to actually take practical matters into consideration. For example, you have to consider time – how much you have personally to work on the car and how much calendar time there is before the race. And, of course, there is the issue of money. In your armchair, you can spend OPM (Other People’s Money) rather freely. In the real world, not so much.
The thing is, when you come right down to it, we like epic events. Consider the Olympics, the Iditarod, the 24 Heures Du Mans (or substitute your favorite large scale competition here) and you find — for the right kind of slightly crazy person — that a chill runs down your spine. And, at times, you find yourself thinking “I’d like to try that.”
Each year, your humble editors like to run one epic event. We do it because, well, it seems epic and we like epic. And, of course, we do it to share with Team Winding Road members and friends. Last year, we did Targa Newfoundland. This year, we thought we’d run the 25 Hours Of Thunderhill. Here’s the car we chose; it arrived over the weekend.
