My pictures aren’t as nice as marshknute posted the other day, but I make up for it in variety. I wasn’t down there long, with friends so I didn’t spend as much time as maybe I would have liked, but shut up these are free. Here is your fix you junkies.
I had my camera on the wrong settings for the cars and coffee exotics. there was a mercedes slr mclaren there. I am sorry.
Also I missed the new ford GT(s) (apparently there were two). Also sorry. I will try to make up for it with witty commentary. also, should I accidentally kinja this post, give me a few minutes to fix it.
Edit: on request, I have added makes/models
This show justs gets bigger and better every year. Camaro was the featured marque, notice how I didn’t bother. I can see camaros every friday at a local pool. cars and covefe manage to drag alot more people out here by having a couple of million dollars worth of new exotics in about 100 square feet.
Next year man.... my car will probably still be broken lol.

that RUF is most likely a BTR conversion

Ah well. It was still probably my favorite car to see there.

would be mine too, just doubt it’s a Yellow bird without the vents over the rear wheels.
I would spend the whole day just looking at that car

These are beautiful... If you could annotate with make/model for those of us who don’t know... Not me... Others...

I have seen some later conversions that don’t have the NACA ducts, but there is no way to tell without looking to see if the motor is turbo’d

Where’s the NSFW. You can’t post like 40 pictures of Stingers and expect me to remain professional. Wow, I’m upset thought to not see one on the track.

Oh wow, thank you! No specific car, just in general. Great work!

They might have been, but I wasn’t going to stay all day. Maybe next year when I get my car running, and I can bring chairs and a cooler.

Yeah! No problem, not everyone is as obsessed as I am lol. Even then, my knowledge of pre-70s european cars and pre 60s american is somewhat lacking.

I was there sunday with the family. We were over by the hairpin for a little while.
Walked through the paddock to get some inspiration for my RX7. I made up my mind that the Mazda will be entered in the Vintage Grand Prix within the next 5 years.
A couple of guys I know raced this year and they had a blast. Placed mid pack in their race. I have wanted to drive in that race for years now and I am making it my five year goal. I can do it in two.

Good luck! This has to be my favorite event around here. Beats carlisle hands down.

Yeah. i look forward to it every year. last year was the first time I have missed it since 2007. It has certainly evolved over the years.
