Polk County's biggest car show of the year is happening this weekend in Lakeland, FL. http://www.lakemirrorclassic.com/ Are any GRM dorks coming? What about GRM staff? (It's the sort of place that you could easily promote "Classic Motorsports".) I'm heading over there tonight, and possibly again tomorrow morning. If you guys are going to be in the area, drop me a line and let me know...

1954 Stanguellini 750 Sport

I think the sign says, "one of a handful of race cars built by Vitorio Stanguellini, these cars dominated the Italian 750 class from 1950 to 1954. The Stanguellini featured a tubular chassis, transverse leaf spring front suspension with a solid rear axle. The motor, which is a jewel of metallurgy, was built entirely in Stanguellini's shop. Imported by Briggs Cunningham, chassis CSO4090 Won its class at Watkins Glen in 1954."

Very impressive mix of cars.

I'm starting to like the straight 8 engined specials more and more.
