Racing makes heroin addiction look like a vague longing for something salty. — Peter Egan

Welcome!

Welcome to the Internet home of NutDriver Racing. We are “Left Nut” (a/k/a “Lefty”) and “Right Nut” (a/k/a “Righty”), and our motto is

Tighten up that nut behind the wheel!

We hold Regional SCCA licenses as Club Racers and Flagging & Communications volunteers. In addition, we sometimes do trackside photography for the Atlanta Region SCCA and from the spectator areas for the pro events at Road Atlanta.

Recent Updates

6 Feb 08	Well, Lefty been really busy since the ARRC, and therefore really slack about updating this site. He finally got the podium photos up, on the site, but not any of the other photos from the ARRC. He’s going out of town for a week soon, but will try to get more of the ARRC photos up soon after he returns. A few of them are being used in promotions by the Atlanta Region and some of the series that run at the ARRC. In the meantime, he’s playing around with minor little stuff on the site.
8 Nov 07	Lefty is in position at the hotel, with plans to get up early an join the worker meeting at 0730. We’ll see if that works out. Tomorrow, some photos. BTW, I just noticed I didn’t include a link for the 2007 ARRC “placeholder” page, so here it is.
7 Nov 07	Getting ready for the Grassroots Motorsports magazine American Road Race of Champions (ARRC) organized by the Atlanta Region – SCCA at Road Atlanta. Lefty will be there all three days. Righty will have to miss Friday. We’ve got a placeholder page up and we’ll add to it as we go.
22 Oct 07	We attended the 10th Anniversary Petit le Mans. A short article and small gallery are available.
29 May 07	Last weekend we ran the Memorial Monster event put on by the Central Carolinas Region of the SCCA at Carolina Motorsports Park. We got our second finish for the season, and a third place in our class. Article coming soon.
2 Apr 07	We returned to Carolina Motorsports Park for our first joint event of the season to run the . Buck Muse Memorial event put on by the South Carolinas Region of the SCCA. Lefty got a finish and avoided finishing DFL. Righty, on the other hand, made a great run to take a 2nd place! Article coming soon.
26 Mar 07	We tried to get the #91 RX-7 ready to run last weekend at Road Atlanta, but things didn’t work out. So we worked corners at the event instead. More info later. Also, we’re working on an update for the story of Rockingham a couple of weeks back.
11 Mar 07	After an expensive off season, Righty got The Nuts back on track to begin the 2007 season at Rockingham. We’ll have more details later, but we wanted to go ahead and get a big THANKS! to all of the volunteers at the event, especially the ones with fire extinguishers in their hands around the exit from the pits to the paddock.
27 Nov 06	Rest In Peace, Chani. This morning Lefty had to put down Chani, the oldest of his four cats.
20 Nov 06	Lefty did some of the photography for the Atlanta Region at the American Road Race of Champions (ARRC) at Road Atlanta and Righty performed admirably as his aide de camp. After a week of post processing and captioning, we finally got a gallery up on the site today.
15 Nov 06	Put up "stubs" for what will become the home page and gallery for the 2006 American Road Race of Champions.

The Future

We’re starting our fourth year as road racing participants rather than spectators. We’re still just getting started in many ways. So far, we’ve acquired four track cars, sold two, and have two in the stable. The Race Cars link will take you to pages describing each of them and the For Sale link takes you to a page showing things The Nuts have up for sale at the moment.

Next stops:

1. NASA competition licenses
2. More track time!
3. More racing!
