Pat Owens (1935-2011), affectionately known as "Mr. Triumph," joined the staff of Triumph of America in 1959 and soon worked his way up to Western Service Manager. A good off-road racer and even better tuner, he also served as Johnson Motors' racing manager, preparing flat-trackers, road racers and desert sleds for the likes of future Hall of Famers Gene Romero and Eddie Mulder. Owens left Triumph in 1971 to become lead motorcycle instructor at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, where he helped train a generation of competent bike mechanics. In his spare time Pat put more that 500,000 miles on a 1970 Bonneville T120RT, often with wife Donna behind, including their last big trip to Alaska and back.

Aston Martin's Race plan
Wed, 17 Oct 2007By Ben Pulman Motor Shows 17 October 2007 15:36 It’s only just over a week since Aston Martin was sold, but today it confirmed plans to race at Le Mans.The DBR9 will return to the famous La Sarthe circuit in June. Perhaps this was inevitable, since Aston’s new non-executive chairman is David Richards - the chairman of Prodrive, which develops the DBR9 and its FIA GT3-spec sister car, the DBRS9. The team will face a tough challenge, though, as the 24-hour Le Mans is the only race that Aston Martin Racing will compete in this year.
Volkswagen Golf GTE plug-in hybrid revealed ahead of Geneva debut
Thu, 20 Feb 2014The VW Golf GTE Plug-in (pictured) debuts at Geneva If you like a quite warm VW Golf with a petrol engine, VW has that covered with the Golf GTI, and if you’d rather burn oil you can do that too with the Golf GTD. But now there’s a third way – the Volkswagen Golf GTE plug-in hybrid. Combining a 1.4 litre TSI turbo petrol with 148bhp and a 101bhp electric motor, the Golf GTE manages a combined output of 201bhp, enough to get to 62mph in 7.6 seconds and return official economy figures of 157mpg and emissions of a paltry 35g/km.
Austrian Grand Prix Qualifying: WILLIAMS front row – Massa on pole
Sat, 21 Jun 2014Valtteri Bottas, Felipe Massa and Nico Rosberg – the front three in Austria The writing was perhaps on the wall for the Mercedes domination of the 2014 F1 season after the Canadian Grand Prix, and the writing is now loud and proud for Williams as they lock out the front row for the Austrian Grand Prix tomorrow. Massa has taken pole – his first pole for six years – with team mate Valtteri Bottas just 0.087 seconds behind as Williams took advantage of errors from Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes, which also compromised Nico Rosberg, creating a Williams front row in the process. Hamilton’s first run didn’t count because he took all four wheels over the white line at turn eight, and he skidded out on his next quick lap, leaving him dead last in final qualifying but starting ninth after Nico Hulkenberg’s disqualification.
