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
There was a yenko tent. IDK why but I wasn’t complaining. (2nd gen chevrolet corvair)
This corvair is best corvair. seriously probably the coolest looking vorvair I have ever seen.
The only corvette I intentionally took a picture of. appears to be a modified early 3rd gen chevy corvette with a 455
Unsafe at any speed. and possibly unsafe at a dead stop. hold me.( Modified chevy corvair.)
This is a Chevy corvair yenko stinger

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.

I would spend the whole day just looking at that car

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.

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.

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.
