I was there Saturday and had a great time. I did the fuel system in the #37 Trans-Am Boss 302 Mustang owned by Forrest Straight. I was great to see it run and it sounded awesome. I went to the pits to say "hi" and immediatley got shanghied into fixing the shifter in the car! "Postman's holiday".Too Bad the GT-40 Mk IV didn't run. I would have loved to hear that 427 tunnel port go thru the gears coming out of turn eleven and heading up the hill to turn two.
You guys have to remember, these are HISTORIC race cars that are, for the most part driven by the lucky rich bastards that own them
They're not professional racers. They're most likely thinking, "how many thousands of dollars is it going to cost me if I stuff this thing into the gaurdrail at turn ten?" If you want to see real vintage racing, go to Goodwood in England. The racing there is freekin crazzy!!
I didn't see Brian Redman, Denny Hulme, or Parnelli Jones suiting up to drive any of these cars this weekend. You might see some of these guys at Laguna Seca this year though.
