Mid-Atlantic Sports Cars is the result of their planning and research.

Wayne Long mangoes the business brings a long history of being involved in the sports automotive hobby. Starting before he was five years old Wayne attended sports car racing events with his family. Richard Whiteman, Wayne's Uncle, raced Austin Healey Sprite's and Fiats at SCCA events as Wayne grew up.

Formula SAE® is a student design competition organized by SAE International (formerly Society of Automotive Engineers). The first competition was started in 1978 and was originally called the Mini Indy which was held in 1979. It has since evolved into a world wide competition involving more than 120 teams at the main event in Michigan.
The concept behind Formula SAE is that a fictional manufacturing company has contracted a design team to develop a small Formula-style race car. The prototype race car is to be evaluated for its potential as a production item with 1000 units being produced. The target marketing group for the race car is the non-professional weekend autocross racer. Each student team designs, builds and tests a prototype based on a series of rules whose purpose is both to ensure on-site event operations and promote clever problem solving. They must then must give a design report, cost report, and drive the car in the dynamic events

papa Vince Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Joining us from Gulf Shores, Alabama!

Papa Vince was introduced to the making of EVOO at the age of 17 when working as an apprentice for the Knight of D'Stefani in the Castello of Rampenziri. Under his carefull watch, Papa learned the in's and out's on how to produce what he called "Medicine Oil".
Sadly, Papa Vince realized that only the wealthiest had access to such an oil. Manual production of EVOO was extremely labor intensive. It took 48 hours, 3 men and a mule to produce about 1 quart of EVOO. He often pondered if one day he could make a difference.
Our harvest starts about mid-October and ends about mid-November. Every year’s harvest is different. This is why Papa Vince's EVOO tastes different every year.
Papa Vince's Extra Virgin Olive Oil is extremely light, fresh, aromatic and flavorful with hints of tomatoes, artichokes and PEPPER. Yes, PEPPER! This is your assurance that Papa Vince's EVOO is indeed "OLIVE JUICE", full of anti-oxidants, enzymes and essential oils you need.
