Every lap needs a garage.
Keeping the brain young by building things that are fun, a little nerdy, and usually made with one of my kids in mind. The running ones are live on pmcdonough.com, and each card opens it straight up. They run in your browser, on a phone or a computer, with nothing to install.

A kart-style race on real roads at real length, every building where it really stands. Route 1A from Seabrook over the Hampton River bridge and up the Hampton Beach strip, or Andover's Main Street in autumn colour. The family Bronco, a GT3 RS, an e-bike or a Ducati. It started life as Ring Kart, on the Nürburgring.
Build the whole of Notre-Dame or Amiens in 3D, piece by piece, the way the masons did, from the footings to the spire. Every stone carries real load. Then design your own and see whether it stands. It started as Keystone, designed with my son.
A hockey strategy lab on the oldest rivalry in the sport. Every player is a real 2025-26 Bruin or Canadien. Set each team's game plan, run 100 games, change one thing and see whether it helps. The first thing I put on pmcdonough.com, and the template for everything after it.
A small street circuit around town that starts at the fire station, with a thank-you to the first responders who work there.
A reading and writing coach that helps without doing the homework, and a project workboard. Demos are in the Pit Lane for invited crew.
