Bylines at the pit wall
Graham Pettigrew
Graham Pettigrew grew up in the English Midlands and spent thirty years as a race mechanic before settling in Ohio. He writes about supercars and engines for LeftLaneNews, with an eye for how things are built and how long they last. He is skeptical of horsepower numbers that have not been measured on a dyno. He grows tomatoes and argues about them with his neighbors.
