  • Alder  > Hobbies > Reno-Fernley HMSA Race
    May 4-5, 2007 -- We attended an HMSA event near Reno, NV. The Reno-Fernley Raceway is about 30 miles east of Reno. It's a race track and facility, only about five years old. Our reason for attending was to "hang" with a special grid of H-Mod cars. Diane's Miller was originally an H-Mod car built by Don Miller (Calif.) in the mid-60s. At this event, one of the very first cars built by Don Miller, the builder of Diane's car, was at the event as well as "The Last Miller." Diane's car is very, very similar that "The Last Miller" so we're pretty sure it was one of the last he made, probably in about 1965 (a pure guess).

    Alder > We arrived at the track Friday morning for Test & Tune only to find snow on the ground.  A cold, blustery day, but the track was dry and testing and practice wasn't effected.
    Alder > This is Diane posing with Kip Fjeld who owns and races one of the very first Don Miller cars (front engined).  It is quite original. Joe Puckett originally owned this car and raced it for many, many years.
    Alder > On track with some of the H-Mods.  Diane's car, now running a 1600 cc motor is no longer in the H-Mod class as they all run engines of less than 950cc.  No contest, but great fun.
    Alder > Another great picture of the H-Mods on track with Diane in the lead going up the big hill.  Displacement rules.
    Alder > One of the more famous H-Mods at the reunion.  This is the famous Aardvark, now owned and raced by Don Racine.
    Alder > A very, very nice H-mod.  This is a Beach running an original Hilman Imp engine (and tranny?).  John Rankin had just finished this car.  It was BEAUTIFUL, and fast.  He could almost stay with Diane even with his small displacement.  Very, very impressive.

    Alder > And, at speed.
    Alder > HMSA turns out some seriously nice and fast cars.  This was my favorite car in the whole paddock.  It is a 2.0 Liter, four cylinder beauty and damn fast.
