POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

2 years have passed since my move from Boston to Apa Aesthetic in Miami. I love it here. A lot has changed, but my relationship with my Dad as a mentor and best friend remains strong as ever.

I drive a lot. With a lot of different communities. Over the last week I did two events that share more than they know.

Last weekend I went up to @limerockpark to race in @thevscca Spring Sprints. The season opener to vintage racing of the finest order. As always it was wonderful to hang with the wild boys of the club and spend time with the good folks of Ktr racing.

Last night I joined the good folks of @grassroots_edition and @primenyc.co for a midnight run precursor to the grassroots spring season opener. One of the finest events of the year. As always it was a wild smorgasbord of the nyc car communities moving through urban scapes with some of the most loved and diverse builds you can find anywhere.

Both groups share so much. A wild and abiding passion for cars. A group of people united via oil and metal across a wide spectrum in every other way. A penchant for controlled speed and a need for the flow state of engine and pedal.

We live in a golden age of motoring and in a land that still venerates the automobile and the freedom it enables. I’m proud to be part of both communities and always eager to bridge them.

Safe driving with whomever you drive with our there. It’s a privilege.

“Fireside chat” with my Dad @jamesmsteindmd

Of all my mentors, I’ve learned the most from my Dad. A second generation prosthodontist, my Dad maintains a well private practice in Boston, MA where I worked alongside for almost 10 years before joining @apa.aesthetic @doctorapa

Here, we had a quiet moment to ask each other a few questions about life, dentistry and balance.

Full interview to come!

Thank you Dr.’s Danny Sabra and Jim Stein for the invitation to lecture to your Boston study club. Thank you also Jon Rosenthal for stepping in at the last minute for rescuing a sponsorship and providing an incredible venue. See you in the spring for our two day symposium!

Last week I spoke about the importance of mentorship. This week, I’m diving deeper into what it truly means — to me and to our profession. Every day, I carry the wisdom and methods passed down from my mentors, combine them with lessons I’ve learned on my own, and refine what fits my personal style. That blend is what makes each dentist unique. When we pay it forward, we push the profession forward.

Early mornings at @limerockpark Historical Festival 43.

The Monday is quiet in many respects. The big show is over. Some of the racers have left. We have had good days and great racing and the week ahead lies just around the corner.

It’s an introspective morning. Memories of past laps laze through your brain as you consider your last two races. Wondering if the racers you diced with will be present and eager to create a daily legacy.

A great day of vintage racing awaits.

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to take a side quest with my mom (!) and my wife to visit two cathedrals of vintage racing.

To begin I was finally able to stop by and meet Jim Burns of Jim Burns Engines at his cozy hideaway in good roads, MA.

Jim has built a reputation for being one of the finest builders of vintage Alfa engines across the land and last year I handed him two projects with the rebuilds of both my race Giulietta as well as my tuxedo car Giulia engines.

Jim returned the Giulietta to me a few weeks ago and I’ve been able to race her now in two different @thevscca events at @limerockpark and man did he deliver. She might as well be a new car with a refined but nasty little high revving engine now ready for many years and many tracks. Thanks to the amazing quick work by KTR racing she was able to make both Spring Sprints and the Empire Cup @ @limerockpark

Jim continues to work on upgrading my Giulia engine with some fancy new @alfaholicsltd and other parts. Rowdy ? We shall see later this season.

It was wonderful to spend a few hours with Jim and wander around his shop of wonders. Ferrari, Porsche and Alfa engines galore with some more exotics options in there as well. We got to see the final tuning of my friend @jamesmsteindmd ‘s wonderful 356 engine which sounds utterly glorious on the engine dyno.

Clutching some wonderful maple syrup from Jim’s side hustle we left for KTR racing just a few minutes away.

For those not familiar, KTR is a storied racing service that runs mine and many other vintage racers providing transport service and race track supports for an amazing array of vintage racers.

Bob and his crew finally showed me their insane aircraft hanger of gorgeous client cars with a few of his own strewed in there. It was wonderful tk see so many friends cars as well as get a look at my Giulia patiently waiting for her heart to return.

Mom loved the Porsches. Sigh.

An incredible day and thank you to Bob, Lynne, Pat, Bobby Cole and Jim Burns for their incredible hospitality. An insane few hours with some wonderful metal on view.
