Round #2 of the 2009 Redline Time Attack series is in the books and it certainly was one to remember. This stop of the series was at Willow Springs Raceway.

This is a topic I’ve always found to generate some very heated debate and I’ve been on both sides.
Snowboarding was still considered a niche fad in the 1980’s when I was growing up near… Details
The McQueen fan and motorcycle enthusiast will want to bid on the ex-Steve McQueen, Von Dutch1929 Scott 596cc Super Squirrel Engine no. Y2373A. Produced by the Scott Motorcycle Company, the present motorcycle is not only a fine example of one of the most technologically advanced machines of its day, but it was restored, painted and pin striped in the 1970s by the legendary Kenny “Von Dutch” Howard.
