The full scope of the Hi-Performance Motors show
Sunday, at Noon, was the Vintage Race... I'll post some video clips next.
There is nothing like hearing these race-prepped cars at full song....nothing.
One off-the-track excusion, but a quick recovery and no damage done....there was also some "excitement" between 2 GT350s, that you can see in one of the clips below.
In between the track action, attendees could do "parade laps," with passengers, if they chose. Very popular. Here's the queue for the next run.

Well, that's it for my report... it was a great weekend and it was good to see so many old friends and to meet some new ones, as well.
I hope the clips add some dimension to help those far away to feel like they were there.
Enjoy.

Beautiful job, Ron - thanks. The pics and clips are fantastic. It does feel like I was actually there; I even feel a bit of jet lag coming on now  .

Great Job! Realy nice pics!
I was there on Saturday. Unfortunately, I had camera problems, which turned out to be bad memory cards, so I didn't get near as many. Here's a link to my pics over on ffcobra:

Yes, I admit it, I had trouble with the tech inspectors for the concourse show field...However, I had no problems getting the car to pass the tech inspection for the track so at least the day was not a total waste

Polished subburst wheels?
Hey Computerworks. Great pics of the Sacc event. Loved that blue street roadster CSX 3354. Were those sunburst wheels polished????? WOW!!!!
If they were they looked great and I've got to polish mine!
