every Thursday morning i sit at my desk and look at yet another great event and think…man, i wish i was there.
That ex Scheckter Tyrrell is a thing of beauty isnt it? Even with only 4 wheels!
Ditto Mike,
Want to be driving a Lola T70 though…
Does anyone know of and vintage racing events OF THIS CALIBER within a thousand miles of Houston? Everything I can find is on the East or West Coasts or in the Midwest. Help!
Thanks, Dennis. Not a bad shot on the whole roll (I know; I’m an old toot.).
In October, SVRA will initiate its Vintage National Championship races at Circuit of the Americas. They had over 500 cars preregister so it may be the largest vintage event of the year. It promises a fantastic field at a great new race course.
Anon, I missed that completely. COTA dropped me from their mailing list when I didn’t buy F1 tickets.
A thousand thanks; I am deeply in your debt.
