Reminiscing: White Lightening 2012

White Lightening 2012, hard to believe its already been a year and we are on the eve of the 2013 edition and racing season. In 2012 the Ton Up compound included: Max and Scott from Fla. and TUNC's Jim, Eric, Alex and Me (Brian). Max raced his Triumph twin, Scott on his Premiere class AJS, Jim on the T25T Field Pig, ALex on the C15, me on the XR200 and Eric on the Hondapontamos (a monstrous Honda 400cc twin). What follows are some pics from the weekend of racing.

Shops of the Past: Casa Beeza

Casa Beeza had it all, split level storage, two-story ceilings, skylights, parts department, several workstations, tools out the wazoo and an ample stock of BSAs. But as has been said, all good things must come to an end and so it did. Casa Beeza owner and TUN*C core member, Alex, fell victim to the allure of the left coast, packed his shit up and took off this past year for greener pastures. It goes without saying that Alex is deeply missed and so is his shop. Here are some pictures of the glory days...

Good night Casa Beeza.
