    Default Spy Photo from Green Bay

    My insider sources tell me this photo was taken in a residential garage in Green Bay, WI. An RF93 Van Diemen FC roller was parked nearby.

    Default Cruisin'

    Before he filmed Top Car (Days of Thunder) he successfully completed SCCA drivers schools at Roebling Road. I seem to remember one P L Newman was his entrant.

    I guess the diffuser bidness is doing pretty well these days!

    "Mike B Garage Pic"? Are you just being clever with file names, Jon? :-).

    Tom Cruz and I attended an SCCA school together at Bryar (pre-NHIS). He was in a Nissan 300ZX SSA prepped by Bob Sharp. A record was surely set that day for number of spectators at a club racing drivers school!

    Default shhhh!

    You're killin' me, Jon. I thought we had an agreement to keep this under wraps until the ARRC test day.

    Tommy C. and I go way back and I knew becoming a Scientologist would pay dividends for me sooner or later. I owe him big-time, now.

    Hope I can sell the frame and swing arm on Ebay...

    Hey! I resemble that remark! While women continually confuse me with the "other" Mr. Cruise, our names are actually spelled quite differently....

    I am sure that I will hear from Tom Cruz's agent very soon....very soon.

    Since others have already advised of his SCCA races......where he "crashed and burned", I understand he wants to rent my new Phoenix F1K-07 F1000 so he can " rise from the ashes". Isn't that what the Phoenix is all about. With my car looking as good as Tom Cruz, I am sure the stands will be overflowing with spectators, not to see Tom Cruz, but that beautiful bird, the Phoenix F1K-07.....it is awesome. But I guess Tom Cruz is also.

    Can you guys believe this....... I hear he will show up at the track on the new Ducati.

    California Speedway, here we come or maybe the ARRC.

    Fact or Fiction?

    With as long and distinguished of a racing career as you have had (and as old as you are) it may have been even before that.

    I dunno, I'm just sayin'

    I think Color of Money, with PLN, was when Tom got bit by the racing bug. You were probably starting your addition and subtraction tables about that time, hoping your coodie shots were up to date. :-).

    Default Save Me Tom Cruise!!!

    I saw he and Paul Newman race at Summit Point way back when... I think they got together back in the Color of Money days. I seem to remember them racing Nissan's (or Datsun's)..

    Does this mean there will be Scientology meetings in the paddock before the races?

    Only way I'd step outside my door (and I'd consider that a long trip in this case) to see Tom Cruise race is if Katie Holmes came along. Even that's questionable cause I don't like her knees.

    Now if it were still Nicole Kidman.. WOW WOW!! I'd drive at least 50 miles for that!
