We had fun spectating at this last year, glad to see it back.
Sadly I don't think I will have anything to use to participate. My MGA and 84 Corvette will hopefully no longer be mine by this time, and are not race prepped at all anyway, and my 93 Civic that is prepped is too new, though getting to be vintage at this point. Instead we will probably just bring the NSX to spectate.
Fingers crossed I can bring out the Camaro this year.
I'll try to make it. My w108 most likely won't be done by then, especially race prepped. But I can def bring one of my Mercedes the 6.9 or the 190e to spectate.
When my w108 is done, it isn't going to be a replica race car at all. I noticed in the rules they said it has to be a period correct replica. And it seems the classes stop at 8 cylinder. My current plan is a modern Mercedes v12 with modern fuel injection. Will it pass the vibe check?
In reply to yupididit :
We're really looking for things that project the classic vibe primarily, with racecar a close second. We've asked people with street cars to maybe throw some vinyl numbers on to project the look, but that's not a hard requirement.
Period correct is negotiable, but we don't want to stray too far into the future.
V-12 would be awesome.
In reply to Duke :
That's good to hear. It's a 67 so it can't go too far in the future other than drivetrain. Thanks for the reply.
