Yes, although a lesser known event. Its been my experience (as toddn mentioned in another thread) that the 'quality' of cars overall is somewhat better then the Mitty...I think the SVRA rules are more strict, or so I am told by some who compete. In any case, its old race cars and lots of fun to see.

I'll probably be at this one, really enjoy events like this.
Anyone know how crowded the track touring gets for this event? The last one I did at the Mitty last year there were way too many peeps on the track. Still kind of fun though!

Went up today. Great event, some really cool cars. Silver Dino was one of my favorites. Anyone know if that was the Bobby Rahal driving today.

And yes, I believe that was the real Rahal.

I figured it was him. Insanely talented. Really thought he was going to get by in his last race a few times.

Missed it,

I got an offer of "lift time" and to ensure continued domestic tranquility I took advantage of it and installed the new Konis on the wife's 92 . They've been living room decor since the first of September so it was time to get em done.

Damn, pretty good photos with that phone! Didn't know you could set the shutter speed either. I'll have to start playing with my g/f's Dare.
