A Second Look At Bill Caswell

Bill Caswell, of the $500 Rally E30 fame, may not have "beat $400k rally racers" as Jalopnik's headline, but the original feature by Sam Smith is definitely one of the "classics" of automotive journalism. Sam's look at Mr. Caswell and his efforts at rallying now have an equally important corollary – an interview with the man himself, conducted by a journalist who is no stranger to rally racing. Brian Driggs at Gearbox Magazine is no stranger to the US Rally scene, and has a 1991 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 (or three) to help enable his addiction. Driggs sat down with Caswell for a pretty lengthy interview that delves in to Caswell's background as an investment banker (selling Mortgage Backed Securities – yes, the ones at the heart of the financial crisis), his segue into auto racing and what the future holds for himself and his motorsports efforts. Take a look at another example of good journalism on this Good Friday. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
