Must have been the Cobra's fault, he's pointing the wrong way!
Nope. It was a driver in a Camaro that jumped the green flag and caused it. He was expelled and three other drivers were suspended. The Cobra (who Historic used to race with) is a real one. No kit cars are allowed in vintage.

One of the Camaro's (not the one expelled) had just won a trophy the night before as "The Best Restored Car". The car was just finished for this event. It was a perfect car (probably $150K in restoration cost). It was completely totaled.

If you own a period correct car, it may not have rear drums (or front drums if it's real old). It's illegal to update to current technology in most vintage groups.

The blue #6 car is on top of a car. Here's another angle:

I realize most of these cars were made for racing but I don't think I would have enough guts to race some of these cars for fear of wrecking. I do however think that most cars should be driven on the road. This could be scary too with some of the drivers I've seen on the road.

It is a social thing. Get Doc to tell you about Gary's five gallon bucket!

Very nice pics Doc!

I want to clarify myself some in case somebody misunderstands me. I wouldn't be afraid of wrecking but tearing up something as valuable as these cars.

OK, what's with the 5 gallon bucket. Is it used to clean ones pants out if one gets too skeered?
 
Yea! - That Falcon is what I like. My next project is a '65 Ranchero. The car is getting a major weight loss plan, it should come in around 2400lbs with 400hp. My daily driver is a '64 Falcon Sprint. That is one sweet looking car. Mustangs are cool too.

Historic,
You should change your lettering on your car. Your class is IAV (not AIX).:)

Here's VIR (Virginia International Raceway):

Mustang, Porsche 911, Falcon, Porsche 914

Yep, as soon as I get this retirement thing tied down!.

About the bucket (of which Doc and I have visited on numerous occasions):

Two gallons of tequila, two gallons of margarita mix and one bag of ice in a five gallon bucket. We found the original paint bucket (used) out behind an outbuilding at Road Atlanta in the mid '90's when we started doing this craziness. And no - no time to throw up when hauling butt...........no time for that!

Henry no! Drinking and driving?

Maybe that's what happened in that pileup photo!

Ed, you got it backwards........................we drive then drink...........and then the girls..............opps sorry.............what happens at the track stays at the track (and you think Las Vegas came up with that slogan).............when you register for an event you become blind and deft.

I see you've posted a picture of Mrs. Historic. It is appropriate since this is her thread.:p

Yea, they claimed they rinsed that bucket out first. I'm not so sure. They are on a new kick now: Cranberry juice, vodka, and some sort of liqueur. I've noticed the champion drivers don't drink during race weekend. I think it's part of their plan to over-serve their competitors (and the competitor's crew members):D .

LMan, you need to call Tim and talk to him about Falcons. He has a bunch of them and always has some FS. He also has a few Mavericks and even a couple of those long Ford station wagons:shrug: (Country Squires?). I asked him one time how many 69/70 Mustangs he had owned. He thought for a minute and answered "'over 60". He only has two Shelby's now (a GT350 and a GT500).

Here's a possible pic of Historic's new car (he doesn't like to talk about it). Since he is a big fan of Jeff Gordon, he had it painted in those colors.:rolleyes:
